I am going into my third year of college and no longer wish to carry my laptop with me to all my classes. I currently have a kindle fire that has been flashed with Android ICS, but I want something a little newer to take notes on, keep up with school events, etc.
I've always leaned toward the iPad Mini, because I had the iPad First-Gen, and currently use the iPhone 5. So, I am familiar with the interface, and the apps.
But, after using the Kindle Fire with ICS, I have began to like Android OS.
My main concern is price, along with performance. I know there are some Android tablets out there that perform really well for the price.
I have seen the new Nexus 7, and I think it looks REALLY nice, but I haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet. I was hoping a retina iPad Mini would come out soon, but I doubt it will be any time in the next few months.
Budget: $200-$300
What I'm looking for: A tablet that can perform well, isn't too expensive. Maybe removable SD storage? 7-inch screen. 10 inches is WAY too big. I want to be able to hold it in my hands comfortably and type.
Uses for the tablet: Taking notes in class, emailing, calendar, etc. School stuff. Maybe some casual gaming. Nothing too major. I am in the Business program at my school, so it would be used for notes, accounting, etc.
Just toss around some ideas, pros/cons, etc. If you want, you can compare each to the iPad Mini, as that seems to be the one I'm leaning toward.
