We have nearly every major tablet from Tesco Hudl, to Nexus7 to Samsung Tabs, Sony's crap offering, to some seriously poor sub £100 tablets.

Nexus is by far the best in cost/features/size/weight ect  :y

Hudl is not bad, feels nice, bit heavy, but for the money Tabs are better. Sony's offering are just over-priced shite, considering their price tag, not very impressive. Nexus over-all is great.

Guess one I like the most are the iPad Mini Retina, but I would't buy one with my own money. Uncle Rupert gets me mine  ;D

Well, considering it's apparently overpriced shite, my Sony Tablet is still going strong after two years abuse... still holds a reasonable charge, being android is intuitive to use, has a nice clear 10" screen. A screen which, incidentally, has survived being sat on, dropped down the stairs, dropped on the drive, used for car work and in the bath...

Ipad air 32gb wifi £499...

Sony Tablet Z 32gb wifi £449...

http://www.sony.co.uk/buy/sgp511-sgp512-sgp521?sku=SGP512GB-B.CEK

It's also cheaper than the far more poncified iPad, so yes it must be crap...

Nexus 10 wifi, (so as to compare like for like ::)) £389...

Blimey that's even cheaper, it must be really bad :o

The Nexus 10 is very poor, serious WiFi issues. We have 2, no one borrows them at the weekend they are that bad. Its also very chunky.

The Samsung Tab Pro (12") would be my choice for a big tablet, had those on test for around 6 months. Better value than Sony range.

But as it's my opinion, with hands on use of all, no doubt you will state its 'wrong wrong wrong' with an excessive amount of the roll eye smiley.

For normal, everyday use by normal, everyday people, most tablets will do what you need them to do.

Seems very under specified for its price compared to something like this on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Quad-Core-Tablet-PC-PX2-Android-4-2-MT8389-Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-HDMI-8GB-1024x600-/301134911181?pt=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item461d0a16cd

Interesting, but it's all beyond me, still I will mention this to her, again back to what will an I pad do over something else.............? ::) ::)
It won't actually do much more, it just does it more intuitively and seems to 'flow' . I'm on a Toshiba android tablet now, the one I bought because I thought iPads were overpriced and a gimmick, but when the missus gave me her old iPad, I must admit it's easier to use.
The answer, I suppose Mike, is that it's just what young people want. Don't be a meanie, get her one.

Job done!!!!!  Got a very good deal in Argos........... :y :y

You pays your money, you makes your choice... very happy with mine thus far :y

Should I need to replace it, then I will probably do so on a like for like basis, or buy a laptop as my phone has a 5" screen, so a mini tablet has less to offer in my case.

I'd suggest the phone is big enough to be a mini tablet Al. Tbh.

Nice to use, and for browsing but, get that bugger in your pocket and sit down. See of it snaps ;D


iPhone 5 is too big IMO. And theirs talk of them going bigger on the 6. :(

I doubt you'll replace with another Sony one, unless you hurry up and break yours, as Phoney are trying to dump PC and tablet division, and not clear what they are doing with mobile and mini tablets.
