Private labels (MMD), you know? They include cheaper products, manufactured, ordered and above all taught by the Direct Market itself. A little about, these products are expected to replace brand equivalent, with the key economies of advertising and distribution. CT704 CT1002 shelves and fall completely into this logic. After the 10-inch , it is now 7-inch model to go in our hands. Interesting if a tablet is because if the screen is reduced, the heart of the configuration remains the same. 

reality 
In the form of warning, we must keep in mind that this model suffers the same defects that the software CT1002, ie an operation with the operating system Android 2.2 (Froyo) and barter services Google originals Market understood against the equivalent of less interest as Getjar. 

The same in smaller 

The CT704 has got a display with diagonal 7 inches with a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. The rest is to say, the central processor and graphics chip, is identical to the model of 10 inches. This gives the model an even better response: there are even fewer points to be displayed on the screen. 

A little cramped for surfing 

The measured brightness and contrast, however, are slightly below those of its big sister. We obtain respectively 207 cd / m² and 978: 1, two values ​​very average or even just OK. To surf the Internet, the screen resolution is correct also shows just because it does not display most Web pages in full. To read his e-books is the ideal format, however all the weight is only 420 grams, which prevents fatigue. 

Performance flattering 

As we have said, this shows CT704 800 x 600 pixels and preserves the same configuration as its big sister. So, the results obtained in our tests are even better, especially those that focus on the speed display. But if some values ​​move up one-third compared with the CT1002 (GL 3D Benchmark Test 2 Egypt, for example), we must keep in mind that the display is in fact much less close and stamped HD video games are not, in fact, really. 

Some functions within 

Always compared to the general model, the Bluetooth and HDMI output are no longer appropriate. No question of deporting the image on a TV or attempt to connect a keyboard. The four buttons control the system (Home, Back, Refresh and Popup) were deported to the side, instead of being on the lower edge of the device. The ergonomics rather confusing at first appears to be an asset for use in the dark. Finally, autonomy is a bit down from the model of 10 inches: 4 hours and 20 minutes in video (as against 5 hours for 7 inches). The price is, in turn, even more interesting is 129 euros. Please note that this promotion is valid until the end of August! From 1 st September, the board should CT704 to 149 euros, the price at which it was announced at the beginning of the month ... 


the verdict 
If your main activity on your shelf is to read e-books and check your emails , this light weight is ideal. In addition, the small screen of the CT704 does not fully do justice to the (good) power of the graphics chip. Otherwise, we regret the operation with an operating system now obsolete. Not bad still for the price: 129 euros for another week (and 149 euros).
