COBY Kyros MID9742 Pro Reviews

For $200, it’s tough to find a better 9.7 inch tablet than the Coby Kyros MID9742. But if you’re willing to opt for a 7 inch tablet, there are plenty of better options available. The Amazon Kindle Fire and B&N NOOK Tablet, for instance, both have faster ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processors and feel much more responsive than Coby’s latest tablet. If you’re willing to spend a little more money on the $249 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), you’ll also get a device that comes with the Google Play Store preloaded. But if you really want that larger display, the Coby Kyros MID9742 has a good screen, decent support for video playback, and makes an excellent comic book reader and portable gaming device. Just don’t expect the tablet to be speedy or responsive all the time — especially when using the web browser.
