Performance
Visual Land Connect VL-879-8GB-BLK-ICS supports a Cortex A8 1.2GHz processor which can handle most of the apps well but the 512MB DDR3 RAM may slow down things. If you are one of the power android user, you will not found the multitasking experience on this tablet to be smooth because of limited 512MB RAM. However, if you are looking for performing some basic stuff on this tablet, like web browsing, watching videos and little bit gaming(Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja etc.), this tablet can suffice your needs.
Touch Screen
The tablet has 7″ Capacitive Multi-Touch Screen which is responsive and supports finger gestures. For example, a simple swipe can be used to move between pictures or screens or a two-finger pinch can be used to zoom out on of an image, and vice versa. The native resolution of the screen is 800 x 480 pixels, which is good enough to display the images and pictures crisply, of course when looked from the distance. Overall, the touch screen is of good quality for low budget tablet.
