Recommendation for 9 to 10 inch tablet

    Hi,

    My Nexus 7 is coming towards end of life, it's one of the 2012 versions so it's served me well and lasted over 4 years.

    Over the next few months, I want to see if I can pick up a good value 9 or 10 inch tablet.

    Won't be using it for much apart from browsing and reading magazines using the zinio library app, watching movies, casting to chromecast...

    Budget of about €200.

    Any suggestions?

    I recently bought a Cube iWork 11 which is dual boot Android and Windows 10. Have it about 3 weeks now. It also works with a stylus and there is magnetic keyboard available, which I also bought. The stylus is great because you can use handwriting rather than the keyboard for input if you want. You can also draw with the stylus.
    I paid $189 form the tablet but a few days later it was on sale for $140. I very happy with it so far.

    I got it on Gear best. Nearly bought it a few weeks before at $216 , glad I waited until it was down to 189 but then it dropped to 140! Just keep an eye on the various sites.

    Resolution 1280 x 800 pixel on a 10 Inch would not be great. Could be blurry. If its for kids then fire ahead. If you notice these things then maybe have another look around.

    There is no great offering at the moment, I would wait to see what Google releases next.
