Now on Sale at CraZzY Gadgets for only £119.99 thats 45% off - http://crazzygadgets.miiduu.com/hdsanein91 Sanei has taken another stab at the tablet market with the Sanei N91 Elite, the follow-up device to the Sanei N88. Overall the tablet has a lot going for it including a unique design and well pogramed software. Sanei N91 Elite: Design The Sanei N91 Elite, is touted as the world's thinnest tablet. It is certainly very thin at 7.7mm. Its main rivals are the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, Apple iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which measure in at 8.3mm, 8.8mm and 8.6mm, respectively. The Sanei N91 is also exceptionally light for a 9-inch tablet at a mere 502g - 33g lighter than Sanei quotes. Sanei has done a great job with the design of the Sanei N91 Elite which looks great in its ultra-thin chassis. The sides look great with the white rear cover look, also looks sleek with a brushed aluminium finish. The tablet is very easy to hold for a 9-inch tablet thanks to its thin and light weight design. Sanei N91 Elite: Build quality For the price of the Sanei N91 we expected build quality to be of a high standard and this was generally the case. The metal sides and scratch-resistant screen give the N91 Elite good strength and durability. However, we did find that the tablet a little too flexible when put under stress. We could easily bend the device lengthways and widthways which was somewhat worrying. The rear cover looks good but is a little on the thin side. We assume to keep the weight as low as possible but meant we were anxious about the possibility of denting the metal. After a week of carrying the N91 Elite around in a bag of things we found no dents and only a couple of minor scratches easing our doubts. Sanei N91 Elite: Hardware Performance is good but doesn't quite match that of the Asus Transformer Prime and Apple iPad. The N91 Elite runs on AllWinner A13 1.6GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. We got a high score in Geekbench 2 with an average of 979 over three tests. In real life terms the Sanei N91 copes fine around the home screens and general navigation but we found some lag when opening some apps and carrying out certain tasks. Read more in the software section of the review. Storage options are a pretty standard 16GB or 32GB which can easily be expanded via the mircoSD card slot which can take up to 32GB. Sanei prides itself on connectivity and the Sanei N91 Elite is no exception. On top of the microSD card slot there is Wi-Fi, 3G a combination headphone and microphone audio jack, microUSB and microHDMI supporting 1080p output. Disappointingly the Sanei N91 Elite isn't supplied with a microUSB or microHDMI cable so you'll have to get these separately. The included cumbersome 30-pin power connector didn't make us feel any better either. Other hardware includes a 9-inch TruBrite WXGA touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 600, stereo speakers and dual cameras. The screen is bright, colourful and responsive but doesn't outdo the quality found on the Asus Transformer Prime and the latest Apple iPad. We found viewing angles good but the brightness dropped a fair amount as the angle increased. Sanei says the screen has an anti-fingerprint coating but we didn't see quite the effect we had hoped for in this area, although it was better than some tablets we've tested. We also found small graphical glitches when using some apps, mostly the Google Play Store, where parts of the interface would randomly flash on the screen. The front facing 2MP webcam and 3MP rear facing cameras on the Sanei were not quite up to scratch. The camera app ran very slowly taking an age to take a single photo and the results didn't impress us much either. The front facing camera produced a reasonable image but the results of the rear facing camera were low quality all-round. Sanei N91 Elite: Software The N91 Elite comes with Android 4.1 Ice Cream Sandwich which is the most up-to-date version but is respectable nevertheless. While we can live with the odd bit of lag opening apps as we mentioned earlier but we can't deal with slow web browsing. fortunately we found the web browsing extremely responsive on the N91 Elite. Pages rendered in a reasonable time and scrolling and zooming didn't seem to be a problem. We also found that the tablet was capable of running games smoothly. We played titles such as Temple Run and found next to no lag. Sanei N91 Elite: Battery life Sanei touts a maximum battery life of eight hours for the Sanei N91 Elite. Eight hours is how long you would get if using the tablet constantly but in a real-life situation the tablet will last a lot longer. We found that the N91 Elite performed well lasing two or three days between charges. This involved using it occasionally throughout the day and more heavily in the evenings.
