Daverse 175 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi guys, Im into looking at buying a tablet, mainly for work and general dossing around when i cant be bothered to fire up the desktop. Im looking at one thats a minimum 9" screen, running android OS, not fussed too much about HDD space, but preferably at least 8GB. and got to be fairly well made to withstand knocks at work e.t.c has anyone bought one recently that want to share reviews? p.s no ipads, i really dont get on with apple software Cheers ears Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Lol I know this isn't what you want to hear but I use an iPad mini. I love it. But I like apple products so that probably helps. Link to post Share on other sites
Ickyketseddie 89 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Apparently that new hudl from tescos is supposed to be good for the money. Although I don't think tablets are particularly good for work, get a laptop for that.. EDIT: and as above I'm no apple can but once I got on a IPad I've never looked back. Again not for work though.

Daverse 175 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 well i think laptop might be a bit bulky, i only want to use it for looking in my calender and book appointments, so i can quickly whip it out and look. also one of the reasons i prefer android / samsung products is because i can then sync all my calender / emails with it e.t.c.

Lukey. 381 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just get a f*cking iPad you girl Swivelonit and michael5556 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 never! i believe that a product is to be made to the best of what the budget is, not downscaled to hardware you would see in a playstation 1 and sold for 3 times the price of the current market leaders palmer 1 Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 The new iPad air or new iPad mini is where it's at. I use my iPad 2 quite heavily, infact I do most if the website stuff on it as well as mails, reading, games and useful productivity stuff I've got the 64GB and its great, I've also got a MacBook Pro that I hardly switch on anymore. I'd take an iPad over an android tablet any day, especially if you have other apple products, they just work and link up very well. No doubt the flame wars will begin on that!

Lukey. 381 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 iPad IS the current market leader Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I think thats it really, it depends what else you got, like if you have all apple products then their all going to work together, and same for android devices. I just prefer the android OS more, i can just get on with iy better and feels like more freedom for customisation Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've had a blackberry tablet which was pretty good just for browsing the web although compared with using the ipad 2 daily at work it seemed a little slow at times. Guess it comes down to cost really.Now using ipad mini and would highly recommend Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I know you don't want to hear me bang on about iPad again but I've used all different tablets and they are the best, most stable, I'm not saying it because I'm a fanboi, I'm saying it because its true Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelonit 119 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 If anybody is selling a 7" tablet with WiFi and Bluetooth I want a cheap one just as a touch screen in the Golf to work with an ELM327 and Torque app. It can be old as long as it works, not bothered about storage size either. Just to throw my 2 pence in, I would go for an iPad also, oh I did, a Mac Book too and an iMac and iPhone 5, you could say I like Apple, the reasoning behind my choice is ease of use and compatibility, Apple is a lifestyle choice and not a product. Android tablet for in the car as these are usually cheaper than "i" things Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I always said I'd never get an ipad as I had no use for one. Never off mine now, easier to rake on holiday and can put my puck straight on to it.Was tempted to order the ipad air whilst in new York but wouldn't be there to collect if. May have to go back again and get one VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Funky_monkey 2 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Archos - I got an Archos 80 (8 inches) for £120 and it's supposed to be the closest thing to an iPad in all aspects apart from the price. Get an Archos Titanium 100 Link to post Share on other sites
