I need a Tablet......
I'm looking for a 7 incher (ish).... about £100..... for surfing the web, storing digital images etc.
I dont want to buy one from China as I need it soon. The Archos in Tesco looked ok but the quality seems suspect..... I like the sound of the Nook HD, but I belive you have to run Android off a card if you want the full benefit. Any comments welcome. |

At the cheap end of the range I'd recommend the Blackberry Playbook as it's go solid build quality and a responsive, bright and clear screen.
If you must have Android then the Acer Iconia is about £99. |

The build quality is OK but it does feel plasticy, but for under £100 it's good value. It also has GPS which is quite rare for under £100. |

Kindle Fire I know a bit over your budget but at least it will be supported by a decent company.

In lower end tablets, they are a pretty good example of "you get what you pay for". If you can stretch your budget by another £14 you can get a Kindle Fire from Amazon. All their Kindle tablets are on sale for Fathers Day until 6pm Monday!

I'd say Acer and Blackberry are both 'decent' companies.

I really don't know why they can't stick GPS and BT on all tablets, I mean even dirt cheap Android phones have it. Not having GPS means a lot of apps that rely on location won't work. Seems a shame to me. |

Just bought an Acer Iconia B1 16gb, very impressive as a first tablet, its got the latest Jellybean version of android.
Its quicker than I thought it would be for the price. It has Bluetooth, Gps, front camera and Wi-Fi. You can also add a 32gb micro sd card. Bought it from the Acer outlet store. And I love it. Only problem is WhatsApp doesn't work on it... don't know why. |

It is but it doesn't have GPS or Bluetooth which some people might find useful.

Seems a shame to me. Ive a nexus 7 and a nexus 4 and the GPS is disabled on both of them, location services work just fine over WiFi and 3g |

Thanks for the replies....I opted for the Archos 80 from Tesco for the princely sum of 69 pounds.
Only really want it for surfing the web....it should do. |
