After many weeks I finally got the keyboard cover for the Jumper EZpad 5Se

The overall experience is still awful.  The cover doesn’t fit well, the magnets are weak I guess–so the keyboard doesn’t stay on very well.

The angle for typing is so so.  The keys have decent size but are spaced close together so its not great to type.

Overall this tablet is pretty awful.  My main points

1. Performance is very poor.  It just is very sluggish
2. Despite being sluggish, battery life is awful. 4.5 hours max, even with screen brightness at 0%.  I think they put in a small battery given the size.
3. The pre-attached screen protector scratches easily when using the included wacom stylus.
4. Charging is slow on the micro-usb port.  I have not been able to locate a dc charger that fits so far.
5. Screen is…not great either.
6. The wacom stylus and screen are inconsistent in experience. Some lag I think due to slow processor.
7. Built quality is ok…but the keyboard is ill-fitting and not the standard of the tablet.
8. Terrible speakers.  But oddly, even using the headphone port is still very weak.

Overall this is very poor. I guess I would be more forgiving if the battery life was passable, but it is very very bad.

Asus just released their new tablet–the transformer mini  t102ha which seems vastly better so far–although here in the USA it is quite a bit more expensive..

1. better screen–really bright even at low levels
2. included keyboard and pen
3. better performance
4. VASTLY better battery.  This is listed as 11 hours and the actual run time is very close. I’ve been extremely impressed with battery life so far.
5. 801ac wireless instead of just 801n with the jumper tablet
6. fingerprint sensor
7. LOUD speakers

So far I am happy with the transformer. I wish the keyboard was a tiny bit bigger, but I do think I will get used to it. And its all included!
