Xmas Tablet for child - c €200 - Suggestions Please

JJHOGAN2 · 22-11-2012 03:37PM #1

I must confess being a bit stumped with all the different choices and it would be great to get a steer from those who know a lot more than I.

Requirements for Tablet
- Screen size: 10 inch preferred but not totally wedded
- Intended Use: 10 year old so music, videos, surfing, educ apps etc
- OS: not wedded to any in particular. I have an IPAD but like the thought of Android but confused a bit by Ice cream and other terminology.
Budget: c€200 (will go a small bit higher for quality trade-off but max €240)
- New/Refurbished: prefer new but saw some chat about refurbs so open to suggestions
Online/Offline Purchase: Do not mind
Mainstream Brand V's Chinese OEM: Prefer former as slightly concerned about later

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

7 inch screen for 10 year old would do just fine

Junk

That was never 299 Euros in the first place.

Save your money and pick a tablet from Futeko

Get a Nexus 7. Well worth the small amount of extra cash compared to cheaper Chinese-branded or closed shop/kid friendly tablets.

Yeah, tried to order and they won't ship to Ireland. Won't take the BT1 1AA postcode trick either.

Think I might look into the Ainol - any specific disadvantages to it?
