picking a tablet....

natnifnolnacs

I know there have been dozens of these threads but none quite cover what I'm looking for, I hope no one minds another one!

I bought a 7 inch cheap chinese white box tablet last week. It arrived, I had a play around with it and although not bad, it didn't quite cut it for me. The only thing it did is make me really want a decent tablet so I've been on the hunt the last few days. My main issue with it was how laggy it was. It would work fine for a while and then get bogged down and take a while to load an app. I get pretty frustrated with that so I guess I need a decent processor/RAM.

I definitely want a slightly larger screen than the 7" and want to spend no more than €150. I would definitely like it to have a HDMI port and bluetooth would be a plus (I don't want much do I?!) Having looked around, I've come across 2 that fit the bill.

* zenithink c94 - http://www.zenithink.com/Eproducts_C94.php
or the ainol novo 10 - http://www.ainol-novo.com/ainol-novo10-hero-dual-core-tablet-pc-10-1-inch-dual-camera-hdmi-bluetooth-gps.html

The problem is, there are dozens of others like them, so now that you have a fair idea what I'm after, can you recommend something for me? Or even help pick between the 2 above!



A 2nd question as well. Has anyone heard of www.pandawill.com? The website looks decent enough, they seem to be russia based and are the cheapest I can find for either tablet.

If it's in your budget with customs included I'd highly recommend the Hero 2.

That looks very good actually...It's got a better screen and battery. I'll have a look into a few reviews, thanks for that!

Make sure you have official Google Play support. A lot of these cheap Asian tablets don't and can make life a pain in the ass with regards apps.


Personally I'd just get the Nexus 7 or 10 or wait until May when Google will release a new tablets at their I/O Conference and the price of the current Nexus will drop and you'll have an Android 5.0 device. The Nexus 7 is an amazing budget tablet even without HDMI output.

A little out of budget for the one that's the size I want, thanks anyway

Yep, all the ones I'm looking at have the full play store.

The nexus 7 is too small, the 10 is way out of budget and I'm not waiting until May! HDMI is pretty much a deal breaker too.
