The missus wants to get herself a post-Christmas present of a tablet, probably Android as they're cheaper. She's looking to spend less than a ton and obviously wants biggest screen, fastest processer, best internal storage/ability to add additional storage etc.

Have found a few that look reasonable in her price range but all seem to come from China/Hong Kong and would rather get one from UK, preferably a reputable dealer.

Any ideas please? Thanks in advance :)

Less then a ton????

I haven't seen any tablet under £150, and that's for a rubbish one.

Well there's this for £80 - http://www.retailgadgets.co.uk/V11-Android-2.2-Tablet-800MHz-VIA-WM8650-ARM-11-Processor-Black.html - but it's out of stock.

And this for £109 - http://www.ebellking.com/superpadvi - which she might stretch to but reviews have said you need to be wary of this one and it appears to be coming from China...

I got the arnova 10 g2 from hmv

http://arnovatech.com/products/g2/arn_10/index.html?country=ua&lang=en

Really impressed with it.

Now it doesn't support android market which is pretty huge, but that's easily passed using baazar mobile and apitoide app store.

Browser wise i can't see any difference between this and and ipad 2

You need to splash out and give her an iPad because she's worth it.

Ebuyer (http://www.ebuyer.com/287638-scroll-essential-tablet-pc-53511) have one.

advice:

do your homework well before u buy

7" screen might be too small

in my experience you usually get what you pay for

ive hardly used my laptops since i got my i pad 2

Same here, it actually took me 3 days to realise my personal laptop had been stolen after my break in.

The Kindle Fire is due out in January (12th I think) supposed to be less than a ton and is said to be ipads biggest rival (probably due to Amazons connection). http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/884123-amazon-kindle-fire-to-go-on-sale-in-uk-in-january-with-100-price-tag

Deffo getting kindle fire!

It's only going to be for surfing the net, email, Facebook, ebay etc. so doesn't need to be anything special. Kindle Fire could be a goer, will need to read up about that.

Thanks for the input  :)

Have found this site - http://www.tabletcomputersdirect.com/products.php?sortby=LH&category=tabletpc - they look to me as though they could do the job. Any thoughts?

How about this tablet? Only issue I can see with it is 256mb RAM for Android 2.3 - is this going to cause problems? http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/25418875/Sweex-Yarvik-TAB250-7-inch-4GB-Tablet-Android-2-3/Product.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=tablet+android&urlrefer=search

She's jumped her price range now though having found this: http://www.dabs.com/products/storage-options-scroll-excell-7--capacitive-touchscreen-tablet-pc----android-2-3--hd---3d-output-7T0M.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product+search&utm_content=Q200

So now I think maybe this as mentioned by Linux earlier - http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/ARNOVA_10_G2/HANDSET?portal=GLSHOP&promo=GLSHOP - can also get a 'B grade' version from Maplin for £130, but probably worth the extra tenner to get it new.

What RAM does yours have? The one at Carphone Warehouse says it has 256mb RAM, which I have been told will not be enough for Android and anything else to run nicely together. The reviews I have read all say it has higher RAM...

Read that as coming with a Screen Projector - read the whole thinking wondering when they'd give the specs..... D'OH. Would be a nice addition on a tablet actually....

512 i believe, runs android 2.3 gingerbread smoothly and fast

Ordered that one. Thanks everyone :)

Too late now but i got the disgo 7900 for Christmas and it doesn't everything i want it to.  The downside to start with was i couldnt get android market place but have since figured out away to redress that and have been tapping away at all sorts of apps in the past 24 hrs.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP

Laptop is dying.

Considering buying Motorola Xoom (original).

Anyone tell me if it's any good or not and alternatives.

Heard it's got lots of ports, decent size screen, andriod 3.0 isn't bad, good for general internet and can use google docs if I ever need stuff like that and it's sub £300.

Looking for a cheap tablet for my son who's going to be 8. Will mainly be used for angry birds and games. Any sub £100 that are decent? Only needs to run off wifi

Heard this is ok.

Plenty of YouTube reviews on it if you want to look further.

There is meant to be a new google tablet announced soon that will be £120-£150

Announced today, pre order available.

Looks nice.

I think I heard MS are bring out one soon too.

Yea, it's called the surface or something. I expect it to be pretty pricey though, probably 400-500.

The google tab looks pretty cool.

They also announced some augmented reality glasses that look sick

This any good?

I dont really need one, but kinda fancy a cheap one.
