which tablet to buy?

[jbond]

Can anyone suggest a good tablet under $200? All of the reveiws that I am reading for the tablets under $200 aren't good.

Both of our daughters are in college and they don't want to take their laptops everywhere they go so they asked for a tablet for christmas. I wanted to stay away from the nook or kindle becuase they can't get apps for amazon and barnes and noble on both and I know you can with a regular tablet. I personally love my ipad but I don't want to spend that amount of money right now.

 

Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

I would recommend for them the 7 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab2. It comes with 8gb of memory and you can ad more via a microsd slot. Has 2 cameras (front and rear) It says it is supposed to be $249 but I got one for $170 and another for $179.99

I agree with racerfan. I bought one just to see what it was all about and love it.

I have the Google Nexus 7 and love it. Very easy to use and and cheaper now ($199) then when I got mine for $249 in Sept.

I also recommend Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. It is under $200 right now.

I also vote for the Galaxy Tab2. I am considering also getting my daughter in college one. Me and my mom both have them, they are great. The 7in size is great for carrying in your purse too.

Thank you all of you. I really appreciate this. I truely had no idea what to get since so many of the tablets had negative reviews.

Nexus 7 or Ipad.....no other is worth it

Can any of these tablets support facebook and the fb games - like farmville, cityville?

Here is the 32G card on sale to complete it!

I got this for my husband (shhhh...it's a secret) and already have the 32 gb micro SD card to add to it.

Everything I've read seems to be positive.

 

P.S.-if he doesn't like it,guess I got myself a tablet for Christmas!

I need a 10 inch.Who makes a good 10 inch that is reasonable.My mom is 75 and wants one.I need easy to use too.

[racerfan]

I like the Asus Transformer TF300 about $279 @ bestbuy

[flosmoney]

If she is using at table, buy a stand to use. I have a small folding plastic one. It looks like a plate holder. I think originally for the nook tablet. I use it for the iPad, kindle. It's more comfortable to sit and have coffee or drink and Internet.

I too, agree with the Samsung Galaxy 2.

[jbond]

I tried to order the Samsung galaxy and best buy and Walmart are sold out. If anyone knows of another place that has them in stock please let me know.

 

Thank you in advance.

I've been researching this a lot myself lately. A lot depends on your needs, but overall most reviews I've read point to the Nexus 7. The iPad mini is too expensive. The Kindle Fire HD is pretty good, but apps are limited since Amazon runs a modified version of Android. The Galaxy Tab2 lacks in clarity and some other issues compared to the others three. They claim the Nexus 7 is the fastest and has the best display and has a solid OS. Not that the others are bad (they all seem close), but the reviews I've read lean toward the Nexus. It can be had for $199 (16GB) or $249 (32GB). I think you'll probably be happy with whichever you choose.

I REALLY dislike the android processing system. It is SO SLOW and aggravating compared to my i-phone. I want to get a tablet under $150 for my 2 year old, (sounds crazy I know, but my phone keeps him happy so I can EAT!) but if a tablet is too slow for me, imagine for a 2 year old? Lol. I bought a $100 one form walmart, and it was horrible. I hear the Nabi 2 is great, but I believe that is a droid as well?

I'm trying to find a bumper for the Nabi that I bought Thanksgiving. They appear to ONLY be sold online. I have found them on many websites, but I would love to get them a bit cheaper than $29.99. If anyone sees them for less, Please Post! )

I thought it came with one on it already? Or is the bumper extra?

[hairprincessnyu]

I thought so too. Ok what about an i-pod? He loves my i-phone, won't an i-pod do the same thing basically?

[princessbsl45]

My local Walmart had Nabi bumpers in several colors. The Nabi does come with a red one.
