Hi Jennifer Sutherland and welcome. Yes it's cheap but that may also mean it's not very good. It's main processor only runs at 600mhz which is slow at today's standards. Here is a Youtube review but you have to be suspicious because they've disabled comments and the thumbs down equal the thumbs up so it's a mixed review:-
You would probably be better off spending more money for a mainstream tablet rather than this one. Good luck!
