Range of ports

If you're a multimedia buff then you'll love the range of ports included on the RazerThin. There's even a dedicated HDMI section in the tablet's settings where you can adjust the resolution

Weight issues

Despite the tablet being pretty thin, the same can't be said about its weight. At just over 700g, the tablet can be a bit of a problem to hold for long periods of time

Create gestures

One of the few apps included on the device is Gesture Control, which lets you make your very own gestures and dictate how you want to interact with the tablet

Bulky Android tablet looking to bring big size to those on a small budget

The first thing you'll notice about the BWC RazerThin is the complete absence of any major features on its front or back. The familiar black slab look is in full effect here, just like the 7” offering, but the metallic back is a welcome addition. You'll find a couple of two-megapixel cameras located on the front and rear of the tablet, as well as a small speaker located in the corner.

Sound quality isn't the best through the speaker, so your best bet is to use the 3.5mm audio jack provided to listen through headphones. All the other ports on the RazerThin are located on one side of the tablet and include a HDMI port, DC charger, micro SD slot that's expandable up to 32GB and also a micro USB port.

For the price you're getting a great range of ports and the tablet does feel well built, even if it's a little heavy and uninspiring on the eye. For the price you're also getting a pretty bog-standard display, but at 1,024 x 768 resolution, the tablet does a good job at bringing colors to life, but is clearly left behind by many higher end tablets.

Turning on the tablet reveals a very bare Android experience, but one that acts as a canvas for you to customize the tablet. Running Android 4.1 means you get the full Android experience and the lack of pre-installed apps means you'll be able to fill up the 16GB of internal storage in no time, thanks to access to the Google Play store.

Getting around the tablet is pretty fast because of the dual-core processor, but opening and closing apps was a bit time consuming. There was also problems when moving from landscape to portrait orientation, as the tablet seemed to take a few seconds to recognize the change.

BWC has done a good job at packing plenty of features and ports into the RazerThin, and on the whole it works well. It isn't without several faults, however, but at an impulse buy price, you might just be able to forgive it.
