By 99 i think you mean 89 using the voucher :-) certainly looks the part

whiskeyman

any reviews of this?
I'm looking for a tablet just for FilmOn / Netflix and basic web browsing instead of my iphone.
Will this do the job ok?

Can you let me know where you get the vouchers?

A 7" screen is a bit small for a tablet in fairness. The specs sound just about ok but then again it doesn't state what cpu its running or what type of screen it is.
Only good point is the 3 year Guarantee which no doubt you`ll be using (make sure to keep the receipt)

7" is fairly standard in recent times to be fair....The google nexus, the galaxy tab, the ipad mini...
My only concern would be the type of processor but its still a quad core.

Subjective.

Battery life seems to be the biggest drawback with cheaper tablets, no info on it though on the listing

7" is perfect IMO, anything bigger and I just prefer to use the laptop then. Google Nexus 7 is one of the most popular out there and it is a 7 " tablet.

Screen resolution ain't great by today's standards. Bezel looks huge compared to the area of the screen

Aldi 7" tab 1,024 x 600 pixels

Nexus 7 (2012) 1280×800
Nexus 7 (2013) 1920×1200

I wish 8" was standard size, been looking for 8-10" for ages passing up bargain 7" tablets over and over again because its too small.

True but a Nexus 7 doesn't cost 99 euro.

You are comparing apples to oranges. If you want to give examples of better tablets, at least make sure that they are in the same price range.

It's actually a better spec than many other generic 7" tablets doing the rounds this Xmas in B&M stores.Most only have 512mb of ram with 4 gig of storage & this has 1gig ram with 8 gig storage.

If you avoid comparing it against the big boys then it's pretty decent.

4 hour battery life. if you can get over that its looks like a great tablet.

Doesn't look much good (especially if it's the one that was around last Christmas).

In my opinion you are better off paying a extra 80 Eur and getting a google nexus or amazon fire.
Im in the market for my first tablet my myself, and while i love a bargain i prefer to spend the money on something decent when it is only a extra few quid.

Agreed, but that's for one of the many "recommend me a tablet for €200" threads in the android forum

Almost double? That's not in the same bracket at all. In fact, if you're going to spend €180 you may as well push for the new Nexus @ €235 ish?

Does it have a 3 year warranty? That would pretty much clinch it for me.

Same with the iPad mini. More than suitable.

Hey lads,
How easy will it be to get one of these on Sunday do you reckon? Will I need to queue outside in the morning before Aldi opens?

Cheers,

The Galaxy tab 3 is 99 sterling as it's automatic £20 off for Samsung products

That said that aldi one looks very good for the price.

For €99.99 you can get a GoClever 7" in Tesco, with QuadCore and 1gb ram! (as opposed to Lidl Dual Core and 512mb ram)

But we're talking about the Aldi one here, which is 7" quad core and has 1gb of RAM plus 8gb memory.

If you're not there at 7am, forget it. As with last weeks combo TV, I'd expect rationed stock levels for each store. Great if you get lucky thouh

Aldi is my favourite shop right now (has been for a few years), but I don't touch the own brand electrics. I have tried a few different things over the years and brought them all back.

On a recent one of these tablet threads, i mentioned the Archos Cobalt and it's new iteration, the Archos Titanium which is obtainable for circa £120. I have used the Cobalt and it and the titanium are both well reviewed. Also worth thinking about is the new Tesco Hudl which is around the same price currently, but may well be available for circa €100 around christmas - the archos cobalt above was £49 in tesco last christmas.

£79.99 up north

I don't think there are any Aldi stores in NI, just Britain.

that's odd because once you enter the 99 euro price range I've found ALDI electronics to be excellent (certainly better than the SilverCrest stuff you get in Lidl)

Back massager, dehumidifier, plus other high price electronics are superb and get regular usage..plus with a 3 year warranty you have nothing to worry about as they're great for refunds/replacements

I don't touch either Aldi or Lidl - though, I don't think I have purchased at that price level - I think somewhere around €65 odd was my highest purchase and I haven't purchased anything remotely electrical in at least 3 years and probably more.
I tried HDMI players, AV transmitters, portable vacuums, various tat, although in fairness, the wireless headphones I got are still going strong.

I'd be wary of tablets in general though, I purchased one online last year, decent spec, €80, I sent it back straight away. A bad tablet is pointless and with so much choice out there at that price range, I'd always go for something which is reviewed.

irishbigfoot

Haven't had any hassles with Aldi electronics over the years and it seems to be decent for the price. However if you can stretch another 40 euro I would go for the Asus MeMo HD 7- one of those cash back thing in Currys so final total will be €139 after 20 rebate. Choice of colour and spec is resonable- my sons got them as an early Christmas present and it seems to be quick and responsive. Also in Amazon Spain for €144 delivered.

Aldi recently sold a HD 108P TV which has received terrible reviews from customers since its sale. But the issue I have is how much stock each store has of these special items

Last week they had 10 or less of those TV's . People queued for over an hour before the shop opened.

Will this be the same?

Don't bother with the Lidl one. It's not similar on the inside.

Big difference between Aldi's' 1.6GHz quad-core processor with 1GB RAM and Lidl's' 1GHz dual-core processor with 512MB RAM

Groupon have a 9" one today 90 Euro , don't know if its any good though.
Screen resolution putting me off a bit. Only really want one for Netflix, would love the bigger screen, but probably no point having a big crappy screen.
Does anyone know if 800 x 480 resolution would be noticeably poor ??
