StainTrain Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I am a huge android fan, but I bought my wife an ipad mini for our anniversary and I really like it and recommend it. We only use it with WiFi (no monthly plan because we live in the land that cell towers forgot). I believe it to be worth the price tag.

HDWarlord Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I have the Samsung/Google nexus phone and I really like it. If I was in the market for a cheap tablet, I would get the nexus 7. http://www.google.com/nexus/7/ They also make a 10 in model but it seems a little spendy to me.

Robocop1051 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi Robo which model please? :) WashSamsung Galaxy Note™ 10.1" (Wi-Fi) 32GB: GT-N8013Or if price is an issue...Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 2 10.1 (Wi-Fi) 16GB: GT-P5113You still get the same quality hi-res screen, just less memory. The Note also has a slightly more powerful CPU... Just slightly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 x2 on the Galaxy note 2. I just bought my wife one and I got the S3 but if price is really an issue I also got her the Google Nexus 7 and it is great. I know it is Google but heck it is a great buy. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Lot's of things to consider but budget is a big one and what you are going to use it for is another. Typically Apple products are the most intuitive for non techies, they have some of the best apps and great accessories. They are also pricey. Android stuff is great but because the software is not a closed system the hardware manufacturers and phone carriers take a lot of liberties. Great Android devices can be found pretty cheap. Downside is that not all apps will work the same with all devices for the previously mentioned reasons. There are some nice Windows 8 tablets even ones that have options that allow for keyboards and such. They are pricey. A nice feature though if you have a Win 8 pc you can set it up so that your tablet and desktop sync personal settings and customizations so your experience is the same on both devices.Asus and Samsung both make great tablets. Both have ways to have keyboard like docking stations like the Win 8 devices. Recently I gave away my HP tablet to the mother inlaw. I went back to using at notebook. In fact bought a new one. I almost bought the Dell Ultrabook Convertible. You can use it as a tablet or notebook. having the convenience of both types of devices comes at a premium price.
