Hi, after looking around for a brand new tablet, I've settled on the new Fire HD which is released this coming week.

£139 seems pretty good for the specs, but was it the best choice? It'll be mainly used for internet.

Thanks

I'd add another £20 and get the nexus 7 2013. It has a better display (1080p), a quad core processor and you will be able to download apps from the Google play store which has a lot more content than the Amazon app store.

This is the 3rd thread you've started on the new Kindle Fire. Why not just wait for it to turn up and see if you like it?

Nexus 7 2013 seems ok though I haven't figured out how to make it display webpages as consistently as an Ipad but avoid the earlier version , mine's slowed down so much it needs a full factory reset almost monthly in order to make it even slightly useable .

I just can't decide in all honesty. Is either the year old tablet Nexus 7, or the newly released Fire HD. At least I've rounded it down to two tablets. I need to buy 2 of whatever I chose.

The kindle fire HD isn't really new. They Just keep rehashing the 2012 model.

It is... the current model is dual core, the new one is quad core and has a much more powerful graphics processor.

Tesco's Hudl 2 could be a clever alternative, it launches this Friday. http://www.tesco.com/emailImages/hudl2/hudl2.html

They don't have much of a shelf life, do they. You'd hope they'd last a bit longer than 2 years.
