I bought before Datawind’s Ubiserfer 7? mini laptop. It is a total
useless crap. Useless company brings all the useless Chinese products
to India on their own brand to waste Indian consumer’s money. Get lost
Datawind. You can not get after sales support at all from this company.
It is my own experience.
Get lost DataWind..I have had nightmare’s experience using the Ubiserfer Tab.
