    With tablets you tend to get what you pay for. I don't own one but I've tested no end as part of the company drive to replace laptops where a full computer is unnecessary.

    The iPad is a delight to use and as others have said if you are looking for the same build quality, feel, and screen that comes close you are going to spend about the same, if not a bit more.

    Cheaper tablets are built down to a price, they might look good but you really need to use one for a while to see what it feels like when used to do what you need it to do.

    I have two friends who bought Android tablets only to replace them with iPads but on the other hand I also have a couple of friends who bought iPads, used them for about three months then simply stopped going back to their computers.
    One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.

    You can't put 'best' and 'value for money' in the same sentence.

    A £400 tablet will not be twice as good as a £200 tablet.

    Value for money, the HTC Flyer 16gb was good for £189 for a middle of the road device.

    The Ainol Nova Paladin for £70 is amazing value for money at the budget end.

    And the asus Prime is the 'best' android tablet, but way overpriced imo

    The Prime is a premium product and it isn't cheap, but I'd disagree with overpriced. I paid a not dissimilar amount for my original Transformer/keyboard dock (£430ish) and it's been worth every penny for the use I make of it. It is a tablet/netbook/laptop combined and performs all three functions very well.
