Tablet Advice

I am looking at this tablet

http://www.amazon.co.uk/AINOL-TAB-NOVO7-Fire-Flame/dp/B00912BE08/ref=pd_sim_sbs_w_h__1

Would appreciate any comments as to whether it is a good buy, or whether to stump up the extra and go for a Samsung or Nexus.

Thx

    Think I'd rather go with a new Kindle Fire HD or a Galaxy
    My Mind wanders, if found please return.
  • I find when you like to put games, apps etc on the device, if there is a certain thing that doesn't work on your specific tablet it can cause problems.

    Basically if a problem exists on the Nexus and for this tablet you will find the problem will be fixed on the Nexus first. Why? Because more people got one and they more likely to have one to test before releasing updates.
  • just go for the google nexus £160

    Thanks for the link, looks like the Ainol Fire has a few problems.

    Quite like the HDMI out and memory card slot of the Ainol, neither the Nexus or galaxy offer this.

    Can get a brand new 64gb Playbook for that price from PC world with £10 voucher. I'm assuming media playback is what you're looking for with HDMI.

    can also sideload android apps with a bit of faffing (although bluetooth ones won't work, like Torque etc)

    I am looking to get a good tablet with external keyboard for mobile office use. I reckon 10" is minimum. It should not cost more than £200.

    Any recommendations?

    It looks alright, but for only about £50 more you can have a Nexus 7, which is just fantastic!

    Have a look at this one,I would think you can get a keyboard to use with it and ebuyer is a reputable company
