Tablet for Xmas Present

Lemlin

Our laptop at home is on its last legs. We mainly only used it for the Internet so I was thinking about getting a tablet as a replacement.

Both my wife and I have iPhones that we use for browsing but it'd be nice to have something with a larger screen for a better view when watching videos or shopping online.

Could anyone recommend a decent tablet for between 100e and 150e?

FOR that price look on powercity ie ,or pcworld 7inch tablets, powercity have discounts eg 30 euro off buy online.
theres no good tablet for sale under 100 euro,
100 e you get lousy screen,2hours battery life.
You might be better to buy 15 inch p4 cpu 2.0ghz 1gig ram, laptop ,dvdrom,80gig drive 100 euro ,www.adverts.ie computers for sale,laptops
many tablets have got good flash client ,videos don,t play properly unless you just use youtube app.
look at other threads on this forum ,re tablets recommended.
buying a 100 e laptop is like buying a smartphone for 30 euro its pointless.

go for archos ,or arnova or prestigio,
i think prestigio has flash video client preinstalled .

if i wanna use device for youtube
i,d prefer an laptop than a brand new tablet 8 inch,
tablets take maybe 2hours to recharge.
you can just use a laptop from the mains.

I'd recommed paying a but extra and going for something like the google nexus 7 for about 249.. Its a great little tablet but its hard to come across one

My budget might be able to stretch to near 200 so was thinking about this:

Is it the best I could get for this price?

Right folks, I've narrowed it down to two. I can get the Google Nexus 7 in Argos for 249e or the Samsung Galaxy tab 2 is 189e.

The Nexus is better I believe but is it 50e better?

If you're not so stuck on a brand you could have a look at Hongkonggeek.com

I bought 2 tablets for my kids from them and am very impressed with the quality for the price. Bought them last week and were delivered this week. Also they have a no customs tax /nonsense guarantee. (if you have to pay anything keep the receipt and scan and mail it to them to will refund).

Two 7" Android tablets plus covers, plus shipping for about 150 euro!

i personally would go with the nexus, faster processor and better screen, but the major downside, no removable storage (i could be wrong???)

so think about wether you will need more space on it.
