Although I did notice multiple times when I used the keyboard button to brighten or dim the tablet or control the audio with speaker buttons it stopped video playback which I found annoying.Īlso, the tablet is advertised as back lit which you can enable on or off. For the most part when I pressed a function or key with the keyboard it responded intuitively with the tablet. The keyboard is a shrunken down laptop keyboard and has top number rows but does not include 10 keys. The keyboard itself is constructed durably, has a smooth textured finish that also feels comfortable in the hand and looks sleek. Attaching the tablet to the keyboard is effortless and clicks in place nicely. I have never used a touch screen laptop so I was anticipating what I could do with the Nextbook Ares. If you are going to give a device a 2MP rear camera it isn’t even worth adding it to the device.Īttaching the keyboard enables a whole new user experience. The quality of the photos are lackluster and grainy, and nearly not worth using. If you are competing with tablets and laptops, you are giving your product a disadvantage as most laptop cameras are now HD quality and tablets are ranging from 4MP and up. The tablet packs underwhelming front and back facing 2-megapixel cameras. As a consumer, I have enjoyed that feature because I know exactly where the buttons are located and can easily control them one handed as needed. Although over the past few years, the button placement has been almost standard for today’s devices where you have an up and down volume rocker on the side, and a power button on the side of the device. After overcoming being baffled, I assume the thought process of placing the buttons on the back of the device is to prevent possible accidental touches. When you have hunted down where the buttons are located, the buttons are very clicky and respond well. The button placement makes it difficult to make a selection quickly because you have to first find the placement fiddle with them to make sure it is the desired button then press it wasting time unnecessarily. The buttons are nearly flush with the device, and have the same smooth finish as the backing. In order to access the buttons, I had to turn the device over or peek my head over the screen, to figure out the button’s location. The buttons are camouflaged on the back of the device, not along the edges like the majority of today’s devices. The button placement is baffling to me being this device is new. Even though the tablet totes a huge 11.6-inch screen, and I have moderately small sized hands, I was still able to hold it comfortably and reach all the screen real estate that I wanted to swipe or touch. The tablet itself is light weight (2.97 pounds with the keyboard) and durably made of a smooth rubber finish that provides ample grip and feels good in the hand. I’ve spent the last 15 days using the Nextbook Ares casually some days, and other days forcing myself to use it for all of my computing, social, and entertainment needs.
