Which Tablet to buy
steve_dyson
02-05-2014
Hi,

I am looking for tablet for personal use, internet browsing, watching movies and etc. I need a big screen with camera, better speed and internal memory.

I have done some research online and decided to go for either Galaxy Note 10.1 or Galaxy Tab 10.1. I am ruling out iPad just because I can’t extend the memory (no SD)plus processor is slower than Galaxy Note 10.1.

I am looking to buy second hand because of my Budget which is up to £165
.
Within my budget I can easily buy used good condition Galaxy Note or Galaxy Tab. I think the main difference b/w Galaxy Tab and Note 10.1 is RAM, Camera and Pen.

I can buy Galaxy Tab 10.1 on £100 and Note 10.1 on £150 but I am thinking if it’s really worth spending extra £50 for Note 10.1?

Can anyone please advise which one I should buy and if there are any other good one in the market then please do recommend.

I would get the note 10.1 because it has a better processor than the tab 10.1. The 10.1 is slow and laggy. The note will perform better.

The iPad is more than you want to spend but it is very fast and responsive.

Don't discount the iPad because of the processor - different OS so you can't compare like for like easily. Fair enough discounting it you need to expand the memory though!

I wouldn't bother with the iPad 1. It's 4 years old and can't run the latest version of iOS, in fact it's stuck on iOS 5.

Is this true that KitKat OS might not be for Note 10.1?

I can thoroughly recommend the Kindle Fire HD. I initially bought a lower end non branded budget tablet from Amazon for around £85. Initially this worked very well with the odd minor glitches which resolved. However I'm returning it for a refund as it has become more problematic and very buggy, a lesson in false economy?? I have since bought a kindle Fire 7inch HD which I'm very happy with!!! It's a 32GB model which I bought from Amazon for £119, and a case for around £3!!
