My 2 cents, all of mine have been fine. My Chuwi Vi10 has been used a lot and is working just fine. None of the tablets I have reviewed have died on me. Only my Hi8 suffered a broken screen because I dropped it.

Ordered and waiting for my: BMAX S15 & Teclast F6 Plus

Last year I bought myself a budget smartphone from a smaller chinese company and can give it nothing but praise. My experience with this tablet has also been positive.
Because of your situation (you said it was do or die), maybe you are better off buying a tablet from a retail store; you could return your purchase quickly and easily should anything go wrong.
