Buying a tablet
- Thread starter Punk
- Start date
Not a very high budget, but I found the Galaxy Tab 3 on Amazon for $120.
Agreed but I don't plan on spending more than 150euros on a tablet
The Galaxy Tab 3 looks good apart from the "phone" size. I prefer the wide tablet if you understant what I'm trying to say.

With a 1920 x 1200 display, Quad Core ARM Cortex CPU and 2GB RAM, that's a really good tablet for 179 Euros. The quad core at 1GHz is a little dated, but I still think this is a great tablet.

Never owned one, but I have tested some. Right now, I don't see any advantage over Android. For me, Android became relevant when I could install Office 365 on it.

Ok well, I'm still undecided between these two:
HP 10 plus:
http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Ordinat...ifi-Gris-metallise.htm#moid:MO-D5EFFM54864624
Lenovo Miix 3 1030:
http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Ordinat...s-dans-la-tablette.htm#moid:MO-B2F3EM35199540
I get 50 euros back from Lenovo so it goes down to 150 euros. The plus side is that I'll have a keyboard and the downside is (well not really a downside) I have no idea if Windows tablet are good and have a good variety of apps...

The Lenovo has a much better CPU than the HP.
Intel Atom Z3735F:
- Quad Core at 1.3 to 1.8 GHz
- 64-bit
- 22 nm
- 2MB cache
- supports DD3 memory
If you don't mind Windows 8 on a tablet, I would go with the Lenovo.

With Windows 8.1 on a tablet you can basically install all software titles that will install on a Windows desktop. Most desktop titles don't work well on small touch screen displays though.

Just make sure you buy a tablet that is not Windows RT. Looking at the one Punk mentioned, it's a full fledged Windows 8.1 install.
Hi, I am currently using an Asus Fonepad 7 tablet. I find it very convenient and handy to use especially when I'm away from home. However, if you still need more choices, I also search some guidelines for the best ones that would likely fit your budget. Take your time to read this. I hope, it can help answer all your inquiries.

You gave him one model to look into. You didn't include the "guidelines" that you use when searching, so how could your post answer any of his questions or concerns?
He did post an online article about what to look into when picking a tablet...
And to be honest, I find the question too vague to get an answer...

The hyperlink is the same color as the text so I didn't see it.
And you know you're the op right? If the question was too vague, you probably should have worded it better.
Are you being serious? My question was answered a month or two ago, in fact, I already bought the tablet. I'm talking about the thread bumper who asked what are the best qualities of a gadget.
