Looking for a tablet

[Astro RAM]

Hey everyone, so I'm I'm the market for a new tablet (updating from an early kindle fire). I have a budget in mind alalready: below 200 or around 200 at least.

Screen size is an issue as I'm taking this to work and classes. 7 to 10" seems most comfortable.

Uses involve watches shows/movies and reading books and comics

I have two in mind that fit. However ones a tablet and the other is a tablet/laptop I guess.

They the Asus ME572:http/www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-me572-intel-moorefield-16gb-black/8769033.p?id=1219365672438&ref=199&loc=v2AzworP6QI&acampID=8769033&siteID=v2AzworP6QI-v5PJOQbT2MD3AhPPfWpyGg

And

The Asus transformer t100:http/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OBQ59UK/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?qid=1433377127&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=microsoft+surface

Both seem good, but I'm not sure which would be the best for me.

Thanks for any help!

I have this one, and its pretty good, have windows 8, 64gb storage (but few connections)

Between the two you mentioned, I would go with the t100, more storage, windows 8, keyboard, bigger screen (better to watch movies)

Btw, I'm not sure what model this one is http/www.amazon.com/8-0-Z3740-2GB-32GB-REF/dp/B00W7A8YJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1433385460&sr=1-1&keywords=lenovo+miix , but it its a lenovo miix 2 you should go for it. that is a great price. Check with sellers

Right another thing is I'll be using this new tablet to watch YouTube, also by download some of the videos due to the fact that my internet at home is limited and I'll need them for offline. So yeah any more help would be greatful

I stumbled across a good deal earlier. I will find.

downloading and watching videos will be a piece of cake for any of those laptops

This is the one

It's got a much better display than the T100, it's lighter, has a newer CPU, and it's cheaper.

Do you know of what they isn't refurbished. Sorry but with a tablet I kind of want it brand new.

Yeah I hear ya. I just thought it was good because it still came with the full warranty you would get from a non-refurbished model, so it'd be guaranteed to perform the same.

Otherwise, I did like the T100's I've tried.

So 2 in 1 laptops seems the most of which I'm leaning towards. Other than t100 are there any other types that are better in a similar or at same price range?

No I dont think you can find a tablet that comes with keyboard that its better than T100 for similar price. I think you should consider one of this too. 32 might be too small.

Ok thanks. I have one last question. This t100 will mostly be used for minor things aka movies, web surfing, and possibly quick sketches with a program. Although I may use it time time to play games. These will be lite games, nothing intensive or serious. Something like Civ v or cities skyline, maybe xcom but that's a stretch. If the 32 gb version can great. If not it's not that big of a deal. I know this isn't a game orient laptop (also already have one for gaming use) I just need to know if this could handle these simple games

 

[Tchota]

Civ V does not seems to be handle by the T100. When I as searching for mine I only tried to find one that can run wow.

I end up buying Lenovo Miix II but didnt try to play any games on it so far.

Thank you for the suggestions, although again pricing is an issue. But I think 32 will suffice, as i mostly will be downloading minor videos and and books. Games would only include one or two at time, if any at all. So thanks again for the help but t100 with 32gb is cheap and seems like a good choice.
