Cheapest place for ipad/ipad mini

[LiamR172]

Anyone help with this?

Mrs is looking for a tablet of some sort for her college work. She would rather a tablet over a laptop due to the size for carrying about.

I know nothing about them, or where to look etc.

Thanks!

You know anyone that works for Tesco?

 

[LiamR172]

No... do you?

 

[.GAZ.]

No.

 

[LiamR172]

Thats no f**king use then is it...

I bought mine online with tesco. Got 2 voucher codes from HUKD and then had a few club card vouchers left over so paid £221 In total.

Bargain IMO.

The new one is speculated to come out very soon so I'd hold off and get the latest model or save some cash on the older. The new iPhone release is tomorrow so the iPad won't be far behind.

 

[LiamR172]

Ahright, ill take a look for some discount vouches..

I think the mini is around 250 on amazon so thats not too bad.

Swede, she needs it asap as she has already started her college course so thats not really an option, thanks though.

 

[.GAZ.]

Don't go for the Mini.

 

[LiamR172]

Why not?

mini uber alles.

Hii, its only a 10% discount though for staff.
Then phone Tesco direct and complain about something like a mix up in stores and they can get a coupon or something out with no quibble.

What colour/GB is she after? I have a white 32GB mini here gathering dust, all I ever use it for is to play clash of clans! Bit of a waste really.

 

[LiamR172]

Just anything mate.

Doesnt even have to be apple, samsung ones look pretty decent aswell.

Not really keen on second hand stuff like that, but thanks.

If it doesn't have to be Apple get a Nexus 7 instead, better display, faster, wireless charging, MUCH cheaper accessories (specifically leads, e.g HDMI) and a lot cheaper for the tablet itself. With the money you save you can add a keyboard case for it so it's like a netbook if she's going to be typing a lot.

 

[LiamR172]

Ill have a look at them. Thanks

Sorry if im being thick as usual but are these 3g or is it wifi only?

 

[MG cup]

3G if you want to pay a contract and have the use of 3G or wifi for Internet wherever you can get a connection.

 

[LiamR172]

Who do i go to get 3G?

As you can tell, i love this sort of stuff :s

 

[MG cup]

When i got mine you bought it on the suppliers network (I.e O2, orange, tmobile) just like you would a phone and it costs a fortune monthly, I see no sense in it when you can use your phones 3G and bump things across via bump the app.

I would just buy a wifi model.

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah, WiFi model and use her phone as a hotspot. Check on her contract that there's no tethering charges though.

 

[LiamR172]

Ahright ok then...

Cheers boys!

[LiamR172]

This little thing is great, really handy having the keyboard with it.

Thanks for the advice

I've had a 3G iPad for 18months, never used it or felt the need to use it. (The 3G that is)

 

[LiamR172]

Yeah i thin this will mostly be used at home or when shes in college which i believe has free wifi aswell so it should be fine.

If not then she can connect through her mobile.
