Looking for a good tablet

[fishthedish]

i am looking for a good tablet to get. i want something that is not overly expensive. i want to be able to watch videos and surf the net is all i really want. i have looked into the ipad find it expensive for what i want. looked into the kindle fire some. any suggestions?

Hi

Yes the kindle fire is limited ..no cameras, no 3g, no sd slot...but its GOOD and its CHEAP...

The Asus Tranformer is WAY out of his budget.....nice bit of kit though...

All the best Brett

That's not true. You can get an Asus Transformer for 500 bucks.

i am leaning more towards that one. camera doesn't matter and without 3g gps would be worthless anyways. the main reason i was looking at the fire was because of its price. will i have to format videos for the fire?

Hi

Mine plays AVI`s fine....never tried others...

I wouldn't call that a good tablet. It runs an Android version mean for phones, not tablets, plus 7" doesn't cut it for me.

That's a 2nd hand one.

The Asus Transformer is good, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is good, the Motorola Xoom 2 is good. Look for the tablets with the Nvidia Tegra 3 chips. The Tegra 2 is less fast, but fast enough still.

yeah, the OP used the word expensive twice, so i just went to the deal sites and looked for something low budget

 

[fishthedish]

i am going between the Kindle fire or the Asus transform prime. and i do not buy used computers/tablets.

 

[Dickstar]

The kindle fire is a good device, but it's really limited compared to the Asus. You'll only unleach its full potential if you buy your books, movies and movies through Amazon. It is cheaper though.

 

[fishthedish]

i will see what i have left after my TDY and see if i can make the choice then.

Both of these are good deals.

Especially with ICS now, these things totally rock.

and make sure you enable windows update, so msft knows you care
