Thread: Recommendation.

I'm thinking about buying a tablet.
I don't want an Apple.
Must be a reasonable size as my eyes aren't what they were!
Doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles.

What would you recommend?

weve just had a thread on this and the wanker op ignored all recommendations and bought the same as his friend.

Get the Surface pro 3 Charley, you know you're worth it

Looking for a 10 incher.

i might flog you my surface pro 1 and buy the 3

just reserved the windows 10 upgrade for it

^I'm buying fook all off you...Probably get a dose!

Charley, decide what you want it for and make a list of the things that are important to you, such as:

size,
weight,
screen quality,
operating system,
wifi or wifi and 4G,
using it for typing or not,
toughness (waterproof or shock proof),
battery life,
multi-tasking ability (processor/RAM),
movies (sound and screen - screen type/size/aspect ration),
playing games,
price,
memory size, etc.

There are so many good tablets around, and we all have our preferences.

I wouldn't buy a Microsoft machine because I don't like the MS operating system on a phone/tablet - some folks like it.

I wouldn't buy an iApple or LG because their screens break easily if dropped, and are expensive to replace.

I wouldn't buy a Nexus or iApple because you cannot increase the memory.

I would not buy a Samsung because I hate the childish Samsung 'Touchwiz' overlay.

Not that any of these things are bad, per se, everyone has their preferences. You might find your purchasing choice easier if you listed your preferences.


For me:

Android or iOS sw.
Expandable memory.
Long battery life.
Average screen quality (because the best screens take battery life away).
light weight.
Quite a big screen that I can easily type on (so minimum 8", but 10" would be better).
Wifi only is fine.
etc.

Good luck. Lots of good tablets out there.

Right...10 inch screen. Able to take pictures. WiFi. Long battery life.
I want line app installed. Google chrome. Be able to type.A nice case that can be used as a stand.

It will be for use in the garden or any WiFi hotspots that I visit.
I don't want to watch movies or download anything.

Now, off you pop and get back to me.

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S fits that remit well although it has a better screen than you need, so might be a bit more expensive than you need.

This one is also good and cheap: Asus Transformer Pad TF103

What do you think about this one?

Toshiba AT10-A103(3G) (PDA0FL-007012) 1 GB (Black)

4990 baht.

Thanks..am looking into purchase a Tablet, glad I found this thread.
My question is, with any, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, as it has a Micro SD slot, can I copy movies to micro card, to watch.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 looks good.

Nexus 9 £199 in the UK at the moment i have a 2013 Nexus 7 nice piece of kit.

Hmmm, everything is older spec, so the processor is slow, doesn't have much RAM, the cameras are not very good quality, it probably can't run the latest versions of Android, etc.

I'd tend to avoid Toshiba personally, some folks may have good experience with them, but I think they're cheap for a reason... The LG I mentioned is a far far better device, especially if you want a decent camera, and it's probably similar money or just a little more.

Only tablet worth having.

Have to agree with you...Now, do Lazada sell them?

No, they don't!

Yes two of them and a complimentary bottle of Three Bells!

This is an 8 incher. Reasonable price?
