    The prestigio from Harvey normans is a fine little tablet, my brother got one for christmas and i set it up for him, decent memory, with a capacity for more and a nifty processor. Hard to fault it for 150e

    The trouble with these tablets is the lack of support, they do not get any updates and usually remain on the firmware they ship with. Android is ever evolving, it's a constant upgrade to newly developed features, everything changes, even the play market. For a few quid more you'd get a Nexus 7 which is made by Asus, a company that has a good reputation and it gets support and updates straight from Google. Just my 2c

    IF you use youtube, browse the web, read ebooks, the arnova ,is fine,
    get a case ,and screen protector whatever you buy.
    it has android 4 ics os. ,good enough for most people,
    get the nexus 7 ,7inch if you can afford it, if the arnova is too big.
    nexus 7 200 euro in most shops.
    149 is a good price ,with 6-7 hours battery life.
    if i pay 149 ,i would,nt be too concerned bout updates.AS long as i can use the standard apps ,youtube, etc
