    Which low cost Tablet?

    Not Paracetamol, I don't get on with them


    Looking to buy a tablet; mainly for use at home for browsing when away from PC, and when on train / holiday to watch films or whatever. It's also because I've bought a Sonos system and my Blackberry Z10 can't use the free Sonos controller app, so you have to buy one at £11.50 I'd rather just buy a Tablet that I can download the free one to


    Any thoughts? I don't know anything about them - honestly, nothing. What do I need to look for?

    Cheers

    Whats your budget?

    I recently booght a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for about £300 and its pretty awesome.

    Great screen, ability to put a miscro SD card in, decent battery life and android OS...

    I was in your situation a few months back.

    Hudl appears to be £130. £300 for the Samsung - what does it do better?

    I'm looking to spend as little as possible really, as long as it fits the bill and isn't shite.

    So, this Hudl then - that's the one is it?

    Have you read my hudl2 review?

    Its a quad core android tablet with 2 gig of ram, a fantastic screen, good audio and a great ergonomics. you would struggle to do better with it at double the price.

    and i got mine for 60 notes.

    So, we're set on Hudl2 then by the sounds of it. We don't shop at Tesco, though I'll have to see if Wifey managed to collect any club card points whilst we did

    Hudl2 or Nexus 7. I'm a bi fan of vanilla Android stuff so I'd go for the N7.

    HUDL2 for sure, if you buy it online from the groceries section of Tesco you can get £15 off with XX3FP6

    Have you installed the Android SONOS Client on your Z10? Seems to work on my Z30

    But the Hudl 2 is a pretty awesome tablet for the price

    Argos currently doing galaxy tab 3 10.1for £179.99 total bargain! Don't know if I could cope with the narrow screen on the hudl - you don't get to see much of a website when browsing...
