Hudl2 Review and Our First Weekly Family Vlog!

Posted on the 17 December 2014 by Sparklesandstretchmarks @raine_fairy
Keeping up with blogging, being a mum, carrying a new baby and trying to start a YouTube channel all at the same time can be pretty hard going....so any tool I can get my hands on to make life a little easier is something I definitely want to know about.
Sadly for me, I've yet to be offered any PA services - but I was recently given the opportunity to try out a pretty nifty tablet which A)Allows me to blog more freely (I usually write my blogposts on my desktop which isn't always possible with a toddler in the room....tablets are ever so handy as I can sneak into the bathroom for 5 minutes to do a bit of work!) and B) Allows me to film on the go and upload directly from it.
Introducing the Hudl2 from Tesco!


Features include:
*8.3" HD touch screen *Dolby optimised sound *Intel Atom Quadcore processor *2GB of RAM *8 Hours of battery life *5 Pixel rear camera *Built in wifi I also love the fact that it comes in an array of funky colours - ours is the purple one and I love how much it stands out from other tablets! The Hudl 2's screen appears sharp and detailed with clean whites, and makes it feel like a much more expensive tablet. The tablet is just lovely to hold, with soft-touch plastic wrapping round the rear and sides.  I find it so easy to operate, and incredibly user-friendly - I gave it to my Dad to try out, which is the ultimate test as he is possibly the least tech-savvy person around, and he was on fire! He was zooming around various apps and webpages like a pro within minutes, which really goes to show how easy it is to get familiar with quickly. The photo quality admittedly leaves a little to be desired, but I don't find that to be all that important on a tablet personally - and I did find it perfectly acceptable to film with - obviously it doesn't equal a dedicated camera but it certainly does the job well enough. Infact, I filmed all the home scenes in the below video using the camera on the Hudl2 - so take a look at the quality for yourself!
I honestly think that the value for money with this tablet is unbeatable - it costs just £129!
