Sir Topham Hatt Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 So I'm looking at a new tablet device. I'm heading out on holiday soon but we only have one at the moment; a Surface RT. I don't want to spend loads as we'd only be using it to watch videos (including MP4 and MKV files). While I'd love to play Theme Hospital or Red Alert 2 or whatever, I don't think I can afford a tablet type device that would run those games as I was thinking about another Surface. Our Surface RT is great for watching stuff in bed, but it's so slow and has less than 5GB of spare space. If we got a slightly more powerful tablet, then we could retire the Surface RT for what I would use the new tablet for, which is movies on long flights. Considering the Surface RT is only worth about £70 these days... But the RT does the job. So that's why I thought a cheap android tablet. Any advice?

+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted June 5, 2016 MVC Share Posted June 5, 2016 There are some affordable Amazon Fire tablets. You didn't say what screen size or actual budget though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but most Fire Tablets run like ass with the FireOS. Although, if you know how to install CM13..... THEN ... you have a very basic CHEAP ($49) that runs damn good for $49.

+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted June 6, 2016 MVC Share Posted June 6, 2016 Once again, budget and preferred screen size would really be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Topham Hatt Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Budget is under £150 really. Screen size - at least 10". Looking at a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3: While it's not particularly the most attractive, the projector could be useful... £150 or so from Amazon, so not bad really. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted June 9, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I use a Lenovo - Tab 2 A10-70F. I find it very nice to watch YT vids in bed. Or just simply watch/listen on my tablet when I'm doing things on my main computer. It's right near your budget of 150 pounds. It's the best budget tablet I could find. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenZen Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Ipad still works over time, the only thing is that sometimes battery is an issue not like Samsung which has a longer life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
