Verdict:

The iBall Slide Brace-X1 is one of the best tablets present out there in the market specially when you think over the fact that the tablets offering the same performance figures by other manufacturers cost one and half times more than this and the Samsung Tab 2 which costs exactly the same can’t match any of the performance figures of this brilliant device. This tablet is definitely a must have if you are not looking for a very portable tablet.
