The obvious choice is the IPad 2 Air. I have one and I love it.

I've not had an Android tab for best part of 5 years. There was a world of diff back then, probably not now though. Sorry can't be of any further help.

No worries my first thought was the iPad Air 2 but price on contract seems execessive compared to my current iPad and as I usaully only use it as a TV screen wasn't to happy with the £39 a month quotes

Was in the Same spot as you Iron, just upgraded for a iPad 2 air, it's fantastic.
You should be able to get £80-150 for your old one depending on its condition

Will have a look at both options thanks, think there is a shop in Elgin that do iPhone repairs might do battery replacements on iPad I googled to see how to replace a battery seems like a little to complex
Current iPad is in tip top shape other than battery been in a case since I bought it

For around £100 you won't do better than a HUDL2 from Tesco.
No it's not an iPad obv. But still decent and very good value for £.

Bit smaller, bit slower, has Android not iOS. Not everything as smooth running, can't do 3D gaming super well (it's ok) but is 1/4 price of an iPad. For something a bit beefier which really does go toe to toe with the iPad on every level, Nexus 9 by Google available for around £2xx (depending on 16gb or 32gb) |
