Platform
| Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices).

Hardware
| CPU | Quad-core, 1300 MHz, ARM Cortex-A9 |
| GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | Yes |
| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 1 GB |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 8 GB |

| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Accelerometer, Compass |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes |

Pros: - Large 8-inch display - Quad-core processor provides decent performance - microSD card slot for storage expansion Cons: - Old Android 4.1 operating system - Low 768x1024 resolution display |
Maxwest enters the budget tablet market with its new ORBIT 8QC. This is an 8-inch Android tablet focused on core functions rather than flashy features.
Priced low, the ORBIT 8QC sports middling specs throughout. Highlights include the ample 8-inch display, quad-core processor, and microSD storage expansion.
But its 768×1024 resolution screen looks pixelated. And the dated Android 4.1 OS disappoints.
The plastic construction feels decently solid though uninspiring in aesthetics. At 0.37 inches thickness, it’s portable enough for around the house. Expect to regularly charge its unspecified battery capacity.
Processing power comes courtesy of a 1.3GHz quad-core chip. Performance handles daily media usage alright but can’t match pricier tablets. You also get an ample 1GB RAM and somewhat small 8GB internal storage.
Thankfully, a microSD card slot lets you grow the limited built-in memory up to 32GB extra. Document life through photos and 720p video using the basic rear camera. Just don't anticipate fantastic image quality from this budget sensor, especially without a flash.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS support, and an HDMI video output. Transfer media or power up via the Micro USB port. Listen to audio through wired headphones or the single loudspeaker.
Ultimately the appeal lies in the low asking price. The ORBIT 8QC brings respectable screen real estate at wallet-friendly pricing.
