Tablet - Frosty - 05-01-2015
Its my birthday coming up and i dont really know what to ask for but im thinking about getting a tablet but i dont know much about them or what im looking for. I would only really use it for internet like forum etc, games, music and maybe pics.
I've had bit of a look on ebay and have come across some cheap 1s but i dunno if there any good for what i want. But for sub £50 i cant think that i could go wrong. Just wondered if anyone else has had any experience with 1 or something similar

Nope wasn't me
RE: Tablet - bigcheez2k3 - 05-01-2015
My advice would be don't go for something cheap, same with pretty much any computer device.

Ive got a samaung tab 3 mate, android based
Have a play when your next round see what you think
RE: Tablet - ConorTRG - 05-01-2015
I'd go with a decent brand as well, I've Samsung tab 2 this past 2 years and its been great. Some of the screens on the cheap ones don't seem that great.

Nexus 7 FTW.
Got parents one last Christmas - they can't put the damned thing down, they love it, which to say that my parents use it a lot, is saying something!
RE: Tablet - 7057sam - 06-01-2015
Nexus 7 here

Huddle 1 is cheap enough now, my lad has one that I borrow sometimes, seems decent
RE: Tablet - Eeyore - 06-01-2015
Any of the nexus stuff is great from the past two years. Especially the tablets.
RE: Tablet - 7057sam - 06-01-2015
Hudl's are shit compared to the nexus
Nexus are only 100 pound now aswell
RE: Tablet - r3k1355 - 06-01-2015
Hudl is the current winner at the bargain end of the market.
With the sub £100 stuff the software is key, the hardware is often similar but it's how well their implementation of Android is done.
If they've f*cked around with it and shoved in a load of shit then the tablet will run like shit.
If it's fairly un-touched then it's often ok.
I got a £29 Archos tablet form Asda in the sales, it's not burdened with un-wanted shite so actually runs pretty well.
RE: Tablet - Eeyore - 06-01-2015
Nexus is pure android. Its great and runs cleanly. The hardware is decent. Stay away from budget touch screen devices!

Cheap windows tabs aren't actually bad at all (compared to an Android equivalent) and run full windows without lag for £70, we just got one here for work stuff.

May look into getting 1 of them, cheers
RE: Tablet - Uberderv - 08-01-2015
Bought my missus a Hudl2 which seems decent.

I went for his 1 and it arrived today. I now need a case etc. Am i right in thinking this 1 is a 1st gen?
Tablet - Frosty - 11-01-2015
Well I have had it 2 days and it has done this 3 time. Will be emailing them tomorrow

RE: Tablet - Frosty - 17-01-2015
I've sent the tablet back and they are going to refund me so the question is do i try the same 1 again or go for something different?
RE: Tablet - tartboy - 17-01-2015
That's unfortunate, I know a few people that have them and they've been reliable and they love them.

Maybe just 1 of the unlucky 1s i guess. Once i get a refund i think ill go for the same 1 again. They come with 12 months warranty so can send it back if there is an issue
RE: Tablet - Midnightclub - 19-01-2015
We sent our first one back (had the same fault as you), never had an issue with the replacement though
RE: Tablet - silverzx - 19-01-2015
Can't complain about my Nexus 7 tbh.
On that note, it's my B'day a week tomorrow. God knows what to ask for...
RE: Tablet - Frosty - 23-01-2015
Got my refund through. I have gone for the same again just hope for no issues this time.

I've yet to figure out a use for my tablet. It's actually one of those convertible ones. But I never take it off the keyboard. So it's really just a laptop. My phone does all tablet duties.
Good luck with new 7. Nexus kit is really good. Better than Samsung when you compare prices.
