Will a SD card improve tablet performance?

I have a new Icon 1-870 tablet, to replace an old Nexus - which was brilliant. From day 1 the Icon has been slow and unresponsive even on basic web searching. Will it speed up if I add an SC card, or will that just throw good money after bad?

Hi, I see that you are enquiring whether you can buy a new SD to improve performance. Let me tell you something, the performance of the Tablet totally depends on the Processor and RAM capacity of the Tablet. A SD is just a storage device used to store data but if in case the SD card has reached the maximum capacity of its storage, your tablet might run slow or hang up. In that case you can go for a new SD card.Click on 'Yes' if the comment answers your question!

I probably didn't make it clear. I don't have an SD card in it at present All aps and pictures etc are saved on the internal storage, which is only half full. However, the memory fills up very quickly - and I wondered if I put a card in an saved my aps onto that, if it would speed it up at all. As it is, it is unusable0

You likely won't be able to move your apps to an SD card, but you can move most of your personal data, such as pictures, music and videos, to the SD card and that can free up a lot of room. It's likely worth going through the process of diagnosing why it's slow though separately, in case it's not space related but instead something like a resource intensive app running in the background.

Thank you. I don't have any pics or anything else saved on it as it has always been so slow, I can't really use it. I have looked through aps.0

Try doing a factory reset and see if anything improves immediately. One of the things a reset does is clear out all the accumulated log files and such, as well as downloaded apps. If the performance increases, then drops back down after reinstalling your apps we can look into which apps break the camel's back, as it were. If it start out slow before downloading anything it points to either just that this design is built for cost only or some of the contracted bloat needs to be disabled.
