The number of tablets produced by Ainol is constantly increasing. The Novo 7 Aurora II belongs to the second generation of tablet PCs from Ainol. The main focus of the company is on gaming tablets and devices for doing business. These tablet PCs include not only Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II, but also Ainol Novo 7 Elf II. In addition, the company also produces budget models, which include the Ainol Novo 7 Tornado. Note that the new generation is more efficient.
Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II can rightfully be considered the flagship in the new line of tablet PCs. What is the difference between the new product and its predecessors, and why is it considered the most productive device (to date) from Ainol?
# Contents of delivery
This device comes in a fairly informative cardboard box (thanks to the list of the main characteristics of the device). In addition to the tablet itself, the package also includes a USB-miniUSB cable, a warranty card, a short instruction manual (in Chinese), a charger (with an adapter for Euro sockets), in-ear headphones, a case, a miniUSB-USB adapter and a protective film for the display. Therefore, there can be no complaints about the configuration of this model.
