Classpad Tablet review: Bit costly but worth the price

Classpad comes with distinctive Android apps and software that encourage deeper and active participation in the learning process among K12 students
Classteacher Learning Systems has launched yet another, affordable and ‘good quality’ tablet in India, Classpad Tablet. Though it’s a bit costlier than Aakash tablet but worth the price.

Before the launch of Aakash, people who couldn’t afford an Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab thought that they can actually get their hands on a nice tablet: just because of the low price, but when it actually came out of the box many of them, if not all, were unhappy. Yes, it is cheaper but also in quality.

Classteacher Learning Systems probably had a better idea in their mind so they are out with a better device which has a better processing capacity, a much richer display, longer battery life and it comes in a protective casing.
If we talk about the display quality, it is better than Aakash which has a cheap resistive touchscreen which needs pressure with the touch while the one we are bragging about has a capacitive touchscreen, just touch and it’ll respond.

What’s inside

Classpad tablet has a Cortex A8 (1 GHz) processor which also beats Ubislate 7. So, you can expect that the apps will work smoothly even when you are using multiple apps at a time. And the battery backup is quite good too. You can listen to music for up to 17 hours or watch a movie of 4.5 hours or browse your favourite websites for 6 hours, now that’s not bad at this price tag.

The tablet’s operating system can be a disappointment factor for some users as it is running on Android v2.2 (V2.3 and v3.0 are already out in the market and v4.0 update is about to release). Apart from these, it also has a front camera of 0.3 megapixel, 3.5 mm headphones jack, Wi-Fi, built-in microphone and stereo speakers. You can transfer the display to a bigger screen using a HDMI cable (1080p and 720p supported). It also has a 512 MB of RAM and internal memory of 4 GB which is expandable up to 32 GB via MicroSD.

Classpad facilitates personalised and interactive learning in the classroom. Various content modules for
