Unit 1 Micro: Argos Tablet and Inferior Goods
Geoff Riley
19th October 2013
The Guardian technology blog has given a less than glowing review of the recently launched Argos MyTablet computer - read Argos MyTablet review: cheap, nasty and frustrating to use - the price point says it all - £99 for a low entry level tablet supplied under the Bush brand name and marketed at younger members of the family. Surely this is another product to add to teaching examples of inferior goods? The discount tablet market is being fought over by major high street retailers - Tesco is selling the Hudl and now Argos has joined the battle. I'll be staying well away from this!
