    Looking to get a 10" tablet with a keyboard dock for my elderly parents who will mainly use it for email, internet, skype, whatsapp and a few other apps. What's the best budget 10" with a keyboard dock out there at the moment? Couldn't see any relevant thread on the first 10 pages, mile buiochas.

    Why do people make these threads and always leave out the most vital piece of information? Even though you say budget we still need to know how much you have to play with.

    Budget would mean as little as I can get away with. They won't use it extensively so no point getting them a Transformer Prime. Basically the cheapest option out there that is reasonably reliable and won't fall to pieces within the first 6 months.

    I have the Asus TF300t. Cheaper than the Prime and still pretty high spec.

    I had checked that out but at €350 with an additional €150 for the keyboard I was hoping there would be one I wasn't aware of. Thanks anyway Floyd.

    There aren't many with actual keyboard docks but plenty of the Chinese ones come with full USB ports and have keyboard cases available.

    Bought this for my dad for skype and playing solitaire etc. Bought separately and without the SD card as he won't use it.

    They will post or else you can collect from Santry if you are in Dublin area.

    That's the kind of recommendation I was hoping for but they're out of stock, grrrr.
