Xmas 2013 Tablet thread

[GiT]

What's hot and what is not this Xmas coming for tablets?

I need one (as I have taken my free Tab2 swimming in the bath and it's deaded lol)

So what the best ones to go for - both 7" and 10".

iPad already in the house... so ignore the Apples.

If you're talking about a pure consumption device I'd go for the Surface 2... a massive upgrade over the first model.

nexus 7 looks good

This looks good to me, and a nice response to TESCO's tablet.

I'd rather spend more on the nexus 7 than go for a kindle.
From what I hear, you are restricted to where you can buy apps from with the kindles?

Nexus 7. Then probably the new Nexus 10 when they announce it soon.

Nexus 7 or the new-ish Sony Xperia Z 10"

I like the few GUI/software bits Sony add to their devices compared plain Google devices.

If you want Windows, the Surface Pro is apparently good also.

Nexus 7. Then probably the new Nexus 10 when they announce it soon.

This gets my vote. Great minds etc..

HTC are apparently working on a tablet, might be worth waiting a month just in case that comes out..

I actually quite like these !!!!

Nexus 7 is too small for me after playing with one - so is the Ipad mini.

I thought 7-8" inches would do but I can't see me getting anything under 10" now - issue is I don't want an Ipad and all the 10" tabs are due an upgrade now.

 

[Aaron..]

I'd wait for the nexus 10 then.

My OH's Sister just bought the newest Nexus 7. Lovely piece of kit and over £100 cheaper than the iPad Mini. Personally I couldn't have one on it's own, i'd need my iPad also but as a more mobile device is a stunning little thing. Very impressed.
