It reveals five Walmart apps these include its eponymous shopping app and four other immutable icons: Walmart Grocery, Sam's Club, Vudu and Walmart e-books, a partnership with Rakuten's Kobo. Walmart's intrusion into the user interface, which also appears on the 7-inch and 8-inch Onn tablets, is its asterisk-like logo on the button bar to the left of the Back triangle. It's not as satisfying as the reaction from a real trackpad, but it's still preferable to having to rely on the touchscreen as one must with the Onn folio.

On the other hand, the Packard Bell keyboard has a trackpad where clicks are activated by tapping the surface. The Onn keyboard also has a Function key, which can activate the useful Home, End, PgUp and PgDn functions, but nothing else.

Alt-Tab works fine on the Onn, but it lacks a dedicated app-switching key even though it has a dedicated Menu key that was all but retired from Android many years ago. But it does have a dedicated app-switching key. The Packard Bell, which places the 'Show Keyboard' key on the left Alt key, doesn't properly show open apps when invoking the 'Alt-Tab' app-switching shortcut familiar to Windows users. The Onn's keyboard has a smarter, more intuitive design for special functions, although both keyboards have their app-switching quirks. The Packard Bell case also holds the tablet in place more securely than the Onn's This allows for more flexible angles but requires a fair amount of force. The Packard Bell tablet is held upright by bending a hinge in the midpoint of its upper half. But the Onn - with its overlapping clasp and lack of branding on its folio case, more pronounced corner curves, and tapered side bezels half the width of the Packard Bell's - makes a more refined impression. The AirBook and Onn are similarly thick, especially with their folios. For those who remember the cheap Packard Bell desktops (oh, those mice!) that competed with the likes of eMachines, note that the logo has undergone a welcome redesign - although, confusingly, visiting reveals an older logo and product portfolio that Acer sold outside the United States after it acquired the brand in 2008. (An RCA offering is rated almost as highly and sells for only $69.) The AirBook is a relatively recent addition bearing the brand Southern Telecom licensed in 2016 HSN sells a version with more flash memory and a charging dock. Of the Walmart crop, the two that have garnered the highest reviews have been the Onn tablet from the retailer itself and the AirBook from Packard Bell, both selling for between $90 and $110 depending on the promotion.

All represent a more integrated 2-in-1 experience versus Target's closest answer: A 10-inch tablet from a company called Linsay and a companion Bluetooth keyboard case. Its own brand Onn joins tablets featuring licensed retro brands such as RCA and Packard Bell, as well as lesser-known names such as SmarTab, Ematic, and iView. The giant retailer's website has become a hub for low-priced 10-inch Android tablets paired with keyboards. But their fall in status hasn't rendered them incapable devices there.

Recently, I wrote about the fate of Android tablets as they went from being the slate-light hope embraced by major phone and PC companies to the domain of no-name brands at Walmart.

At $329 - plus another $159 for the accessory - there are far less expensive options in the market. All but the smallest iPad now have Smart Keyboard Covers that turn them into functional 2-in-1 devices.
