I'm no expert on what's good or not, Barry, but why go for a 7"? Not that much bigger than a mobile phone. I have a 10.1" toshiba and it feels like a completely different animal to my mobile.

Still like the price though, for what I'll probably use it for.

After much research I got one of these for my son on the basis of cost vs spec.  I have to say I've been very pleased with it.  Many cheaper tablets don't handle things like iplayer & you tube very well but this has no problems at all.

If it's stuck, force it.  If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway........

I'd buy just once, AA, so get the one you want, not some useless, under specced PoS (they are coy on spec)

For Android devices, that means Google (Nexus) or Samsung (Tab or Note)

I was disappointed with Kindle Fire HD. Glad I tried before buying, else I'd be £159 down.

Having now compared the Acer against the Nexus, it was a no brainer :y
