Malt 379 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Stay away from the very cheap ones for a start mate.. As Al said, what's your budget? Tesco are bringing one out called the hudl or something, it don't look bad on paper for the price but I haven't seen one working so can't say much more than that. The google Nexus 7 is a decent bit of kit. My boy's got the first one and there's a more powerful one out now.. http://www.tesco.com/betadirect/technology-gaming/hudl-tablets/cat21920004.cat?catId=4294812071&sc_cmp=ppc_g_hudl_p&gclid=CI-t5qze8LoCFfSWtAodFAwA2g http://www.tesco.com/betadirect/google-nexus-7-2013-16gb-wi-fi-black-tablet/278-0083.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=278-0083 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 The budget is around the £120 mark maybe a little higher at a push, I got offered a second-hand blackberry playbook cheapish but if I'm buying anything electronic I do like to buy new, I had a little play around with it and it seemed ok. It'll be for the oldest girl if that makes any difference, she's 15 and not really into gaming, more reading and the usual teenage stuff she's into. Would like to get a bit of feedback on others before buying anything though.....thanks. WXM, that went right over my head mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wxm 1,638 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 If you've got cash generators or cash converters or CEX shops by you they do I think 3 - 6 months cover on them, they are secondhand tabs but you've still got a piece of mind that you'll get atleast 3 - 6 months cover Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nip into your nearest Tesco and have a fiddle with it. You can connect that up to a flat screen TV with the right leads and watch films, IPlayer and stuff. If they've got one in my nearest when I pop in there ill have a play about with it and get back to you.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I knew I could rely on the THL geek squad, I'll hold getting anything yet until I've had Sheldon's input on the subject though. That looks a tidy little thing Mal, I'm off to Cardiff on the weekend so I'll have a look around and have a play about with a few. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
