Considering getting one of these. Price is good, and specs look pretty good. Does anyone have any opinions on this tablet and/or Proline stuff in general?

DO. NOT. BUY. Despite it being "Proline" it's not made in SA at all, it's all imported and re-branded to have a Proline name.
We stock them at work and are an absolute nightmare to get repaired or assessed to get a replacement. Ifro-sol the company responsible for all of that is so slack and backwards, here is a recent example.
Infro-sol whom stocks the tablet requires the customer who owns the tablet to deal with them and not the person selling it. I felt a bit guilty selling a faulty unit to a client OBF and all so I though oh well, just exchange it in the till... Oh I was horribly wrong.
Customer buy's 10" 3G tablet, day she buys it the camera is faulty, due to Infro-sol's policy it has to be sent to be assessed, send the item on Monday.
Phone Wednesday - not received.
Phone Thursday - No such item was sent to them - after an hour on the phone the tablet was received on wednesday morning. It has to be "booked in" for assessment.
Phone Friday - Still not booked in for assessment.
...You get the story, over 11 working days later we get a call to state the tablet will be replaced.
There was also an time when they did not have stock at all, and we had to wait 3 weeks to receive a tablet for a client.
