    Looking at reasonably priced tablets. Don't want anything expensive just something cheap that will do the job to play Angry Birds on etc.

    Which is the best to buy?

    Go Tab 7, €99 Xtravision
    Scroll Essentials II, €89.99 Easons
    Disgo Busbi, €94 Curry's
    Dane-elec, €129 Easons

    My head might burst if I see another over generalized best product thread like this.

    A phone can play angry birds, a tablet can play angry birds, an mp3 player and a pc can all play angry birds. Surprisingly enough, gaming consoles can also play angry birds. You could be more specific than'etc' when stating what you need it for. "etc' could be 'streaming porn when I'm on the loo' or it could be 'taking math notes for college' or 'uploading my DSLR photography to Facebook while I'm in the middle of a god damn forest'

    What about the 4 that the OP mentioned above , I probaly wouldn't be able to get online, so brick and mortar shop would be my only option , My needs would basiclly be minimum enough as playing games, browsing the net, youtube, possibly uploading photos not a deal breaker though

    They are all pretty low spec - but most of the ones in the shops for that price range are pretty bad - they may look fine however the battery runs out quickly (one to two hours of use) and multiple apps don't work well when run together.

    things to look out for on a halfway decent tablet are
    capacitive screen
    quad core gpu
    dual core cpu
    decent battery


    You'll get a capacitive one with a dual core cpu and a quad core gpu for about 100 euro online and importantly with a half decent battery life.


    I would recommend

    Or

    battery is the weak point with cheap tablets. buy a galaxy tab 7 inch - pretty much lowest price decent tablet. it's a false economy buying a no-brand one. nexus 7 is a bit more expensive but a good option (I have one).
