    Yh it's gone back up. You snooze you loose. I lost a £2 router that way this week. I'm kinda glad for me (not anyone else) that it went back up. Was almost tempted to buy something else I don't need. Nonetheless thanks OP :)


    Oops it's £89 in poo brown (burns credit card)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,497 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    I think I am going to make a rare random leap and pull the trigger on this deal in a rather spur-of-the-moment fashion!

    (I don't care about the brown!)

    Can anyone give me a reason not to? Or if better is available for the price?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 523 ✭✭✭WIZWEB


    To be honest I prefer the brown. Pull the trigger before I do! Pleeezzzeeeeee :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭cfeeneyinterior


    Got it at £92.24 with irish VAT. Cheers OP......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,606 ✭✭✭pah


    Agh. Got this for £99 last week. That's great value about €110, I'd go for this over any of those crappy kids tablets in the €70-€90 range if I was buying for a child

    Great tablet. I love how great tablets are getting cheaper and cheaper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,497 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Reviews (Critic) are very poor for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭hotshots85


    I think those reviews are based on paying €200ish for the tablet, compared to what else is available at that price range. But for down at €110 it is decent value I think.

    Grand, first tab.

    I'll take a chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭hotshots85


    Well I got one @ €120 and it looks ok, its only gonna be used for web browsing really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,606 ✭✭✭pah


    Dual core with 1 gig ram is still the norm for mid range tablets. Quad core and 2 gigs is still high end for the most part above the €200 mark (for a 7 inch anyway)

    This would definitely benefit from cyanogenmod as touch wiz can be quite sluggish. They have a handy install guide with an app to guide you through it.

    I don't think the 3 is officially supported yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,307 ✭✭✭Ardent


    Was going to buy one of these as a belated xmas present but will pass on it. After hearing from others who have one and based on what pah just said, they appear to be a little sluggish. Still a good price though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 235 ✭✭sonandheir


    This is a WiFi tab, I use a 3g dongle for my internet. Is it possible to use this with a dongle I see it has usb port?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭moonboy52


    I bought an Asus Memo pad for about €62 on a HUKD deal from tesco (its finished now)

    That had a single core 1ghz and 1 gig ram and 16gig storage.

    It is perfectly fine for "light" usage. So a dual core tablet could only be better.

    decent mid-range tablet from a quality manufacturer with full warranty and bought through proper website (amazon) so a good option fo r a browsing / light-gaming / media watching tablet for €110.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 331 ✭✭darkestlord


    Same price in sainsbury if anyone is going up north

    Are argos the best value for this for a store pick up in Ireland?


  • Registered Users Posts: 375 ✭✭Whipping Boy


    The 8inch is showing as £200 here which also seems like a great saving. Anyone know if you can deliver to Ireland using Parcel Motel for Currys.co.uk? Having some trouble in registering my ROI billing address and it's €300 on Currys.ie... http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/note-8-0-white-16gb-199-99-currys-1757785#comments

    Edit: The Tab 3 8inch is now showing as €250 on Currys.ie. I presume these two models are the same? Little put off by the N5110 vs. SMT310 prefix... N5110 or SMT310 http://www.currys.ie/Product/SAMSUNG-Galaxy-Tab-3-8-WiFi-Tablet-16-GB-White/319236/7.18

    Ordered a Brown one from Amazon at the £92.XX. Can anyone verify that this has GPS? I need GPS and hopefully bluetooth. Reading specs its hard to be sure. Theres a 3G version (which this isnt) but I am assuming GPS is there.

    Apart from the size, having played with both side by side, the 8 inch seems a far better machine - much better response and looks better.

    Little put off by the N5110 vs. SMT310 prefix... N5110 or SMT310
    The N5110 is a Galaxy Note, the SMT310 is a Galaxy Tab. The Note is a newer and all-round better tablet.

    Hi Lads, i found the Tab 3 a little sluggish so I disabled the stock launcher and installed Apex Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher) and things seem to have improved dramatically
