Do you have one? Which one and how do you like it?


Me and the siblings are chipping in to get my dad a tablet. It got me thinking that I actually want one too.

I'm thinking Android since I have an Android phone. No iPhone so no compatibility with the iPad or Windows tablets.
 
IPad2

Love it. Made me switch to an iPhone.

If I did go back to Android it would be either to Asus or Samsung.
 
Got the Nexus 7. Love it
 
I bought my broad a Toshiba Thrive last xmas. She is an electronics geek and she loves it. Its pretty nice and she has rooted it. I got it for cheap as fook too at the time. Dealsofamerica.com is the shit if your on at the right moment.
 
nexus 7 ..absolutely love it... has made me turn to android 100%... I will never buy again an iphone, ipad , ipod or any shit that start with I

however I do understand that for an older person or a person who doesnt know shit about how a smartphone works the iphone/ipad might be a better machine to use because its just simpler... my mom bought herself a nexus 7 but first I had to get my hands on it and I customized it in a way that a 5 year old can use it, shes 67 I think she would have had a really hard time if she would have opened it on her own the first time.

$20, cant go wrong. That site is legit. Ive bought so many things from there for way marked down prices and Ive never had a problem. 2 years ago I got my Samsung 50" Plasma for $400 delivered. It was at Best Buy and all the other stores for around $950.
 
Ipad 2 - Got it as a gift.

Its definitely convenient. I can laze in bed and browse the web or read an ebook / comic. But thats pretty much all that its useful for. Its a luxury item. Something thats nice to have but no, I probably wouldnt buy a tablet myself until I had enough disposable income and I didnt know what else to do with it. Also would probably go for android, solely because of the price.
 
a lil off topic but if i buy a used 4g from someone do i have to put a data plan
or would it work fine over wifi

I was actually thinking of replacing my PC with a tablet. I only browse the web casually, and maybe I'll play some casual games or read in bed. I really don't need Windows anymore.

Then if that's the case, go with either the current iPad or the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Especially if you're serious about replacing your actual computer with a tablet, minus will go all the way.

Ouch, 500 bones lol

The Nexus 10 is 400 from Google


Do you think the Note is better?

The Nexus 10 is currently among the top 5 iirc. Still, I just LOVE how the note looks. It's so beautiful looking. Add the fact you can draw and photoshop on it. Also, I bet reading manga and comics is awesome on that thing. I'm considering getting one myself, but might wait for the next model.
 
A pretty good review on both:



Yeah, I'm getting a note. At least when there's a new release. It's so FUCKING beautiful.

Also external fucking storage! If I had this I'd carry 2 64 gig memories. One for anime and one for movies, comics, and TV shows.
 
I have a Nexus 7 and the gf has an ipad 3. I love my nexus because of the size and unrestricting environment plus being android based. Was a good price too.
 
For now, my top recommendation in the tablet world is still the iPad 4. If you're set on an Android, then the Samsung Google Nexus 10 is top dog among full-sized, and the Asus Google Nexus 7 is the top dog in the 7" class.

What's your opinion on the note 10.1?
