Need a tablet recommendation

Jetster · Nov 15, 2016

Never bought a tablet yet. Daughter want an Android tablet. Budget is $200 - $300 Mostly streaming movies and shows

Thoughts ??

Newegg
Amazon

Mussels · Nov 15, 2016

as far as streaming goes, budget will do the trick.

budget ones have hardware acceleration on the GPU side paired with poop CPU's - so video streaming is just fine.

So
Samsung
ASUS
Nvidia Shield
Del Venue

Mussels · Nov 15, 2016

any of those will do streaming justice, and are overkill for the job. Look for one with a nice screen at a lower res (for the better performance/battery life) and dont go overboard for mere streaming.

I can get Lolipop and 32Gb 8in 2048 x 1536
or
Marshmallow and 16 Gb 10in 1280 x 800

About the same price

erixx · Nov 15, 2016

Age of daughter?

I am also in the market after destroying my sprinkling new surface... Huge price diferences between Asus and Sony 10" tablets.

Btw, I also have the Sony Z3 (8", waterproof) and I couldn't be happier. But if daughter is still a kid and not wasted by brand names, better buy some chinese clone....

ok, that Sony Z is some years old, replaced by the Z4, so you get a discount for a high end product missing the lastest processor. The Asus Zenpad 10 is recent.
8" devices are easy to handle in one hand, 10" sometimes not.
The Lenovo's I like their practical design a lot, but have not read reviews.

iTS NOT ADROID but it's a deal for 199$.

more cores isnt always better with tablets, less, faster cores is often preferable.

Lenovo Rab 2 A10 is popular, for seemingly good reasons, at least for the price.

thebluebumblebee · Nov 16, 2016

What about the Amazon Fire tablets? 8" is only $90. 10" is $230

Jetster · Nov 18, 2016

I ended up getting the Samsung Tab A with the quad core CPU. Best Buy had it on sale fore $180. Best price it was $200 online
Its actually nice. Played with it for a couple of hours. Now I want one

The 8" is $130

Also it updated to Marshmallow 6.0 so it does multi screen

I think my mom has that and it is pretty nice. You get a lot of tablet for $/€200 these days.

Mussels · Jan 2, 2017

ipad minis are incredibly terrible at being android tablets.

also uh, he bought a tablet last year - reading helps before posting.

Jetster · Jan 2, 2017

My daughter loves the Tab A. She now has a keyboard for it

erixx · Jan 2, 2017

If Sony Z4 were available and at a good price (not the few over 600€ remaining units) I would have one, because I love my waterproof Z3!

damian246 · Jan 10, 2017

And I bought my Q8H nameless 7 inch tablet for U$D 22 last year. Ebay made it possible. Free shipping and all.
When I read that most of you gladly spent $200 for a tablet which basically just good for pleasure surfing.

ASUS tablets are quite durable and good quality, even the budget versions. That would be my reccomendation.
