iPad Pro's + Con's

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of an iPad over a different device like Kindle Fire or Galaxy?

e.g. can I download torrented movies on my laptop and then copy and play them on an iPad?

Yes you can.

This video compares the iPad Air to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, take a look

Yes, you can copy files to apps that support different video formats, my favourites are nPlayer and VLC.

You could download the torrents directly onto the galaxy tab, cut out the laptop. Kindles aren't brilliant for films or apps in Ireland unless you get techy with them

Thanks all.

If the iPad and Galaxy (or other rival) were both free, which one would you take?

I'd take the Galaxy because I'm an Android man and I dislike iOS, but I think you should go for your own personal preference. Many people will tell you to take the iPad because they rather iOS.



I find androids fun to tinker with, and they are easily self sustaining, no need for a computer at all, while iTunes is kinda necessary for an iPad

iPad Air hands down.

There is a good deal of similarity so a lot of it is down to personal preferences in relatively small details.
technically the Air is more advanced than the Tab 3 - saw some reviews that showed it had very little updated from the tab 2.
Actually of the tabs, the tab3 8 seems a far better tablet in most regards, seemed to be much better side by side with the 7inch

iPads have considerably better battery life both in use and standby.
My tab is so often low and my ipad charged, you know which one you use.

With the Tab, you get a greater degree of customisability and all the free android apps, but you get the good and the bad. You also have sd card expansion.
Ipads tend to do what you want, with a bit less crap.

Security wise, personally I trust Apple slightly more than Samsung/Google, you know they want your information, whatever the cost, Apple prefer you pay up front.

If movies are your priority, then tab for the sd card.
For portability and its free, get a mini and a tab 8:cool:
Whichever spends the most time with you, keep.

There's no substitute for a proper file system for me so I wouldn't buy an iPad personally, but I certainly wouldn't say no to one either.
