We first saw the MSI Primo 81 during Computex 2013 last June. This entry-level tablet takes on the iPad Mini design and form factor with Android Jellybean.
During the time we saw it at the MSI press launch, the build quality is very good and almost the same as the aluminum-clad iPad Mini.
Here’s the complete hardware specification we got from MSI that time, including the update to Jellybean.
MSI Primo 81 specs:
7.85-inch IPS LCD display @ 1024×768 pixels
Allwinner A31s 1.0GHz quad-core processor
PowreVR SGX544MP2 Graphics
1GB RAM
16GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD card
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Micro-USB with OTG (On-The-Go) Support
Micro-HDMI port
3MP rear camera
0.3MP front-facing camera
Li-Ion 3500mAh battery
Android 4.2 Jellybean
200.2 x 135 x 7.82mm (dimensions)
323 grams (weight)
We’re just not sure how that quad-core Allwinner processor will fare. Perhaps they’re as good as the quad-core from Mediatek. We spotted this one being sold at Villman for just Php8,994.

Hello meron po ba may alam san pwede mgpagawa ng cracked screen for this MSI primo 81? ung sa daughter ko po kasi basag na ung screen….wala kmi mkita s greenhills last december kami ngcheck. :(
Milhouse says:
Tanungin mo dun sa binilhan mo ng gadget kung saan ang MSI service center. They should know it since the merchants are usually the ones who bring gadgets to the service centers when they’re broken and still under warranty. Yung mga taga-Accent Micro na store alam nila yun tiyak.

I bought the msi primo last week at msi megamall for my 9 year old daughter. used go launcher to maximize the 1gb ram. the screen is great. for browsing its fast using the pre loaded app.the downside: it has no Bluetooth and the speakers are mahina talaga. overall its a great tablet for its price range.
milnouse says:
was able to test and play with this gadget for a few hours. I was very impressed. screen is not the sharpest but it’s good enough. snappy and not laggy at all. more than 7 hours of web browsing over WiFi.

Sa mga walang alam dian, ang lcd nito ay lg at same ng oem ng ipad. Ang cpu nia ay xa din supplier ng cpu ng apple. At ang oem ng msi na pegatron at xa din supplier ng ipad mini. At diferens lang msi is branded na quality at reasonable priced, amg apple ay american overpriced but totally overhyped.

Hello Yugatech,
I would like to suggest if it is possible for you to include a comparison of this and the Acer A1 when you eventually do a review as both tablets seem to be a good matchup to each other.
Thank you
