  • Hi, I have a natpc 16gb ultimate as you have listed

    I'm a big appple fan but went for a cheaper tablet as I couldn't justify the apple price tag

    after searching the web and forums I made the decision to go forbthe natpc rtb ultimate from amazon from a seller called wendy lou


    it has been the best purchase I have made for some time.

    surfs the web flawlessly. streams with tvcatchup and iplayer with no problems

    I'm not a gamer type but I've read excellent reviews

    there's access to the google play store and every app I've downloaded has worked fine.

    if you have a particular question feel free to ask

    you won't be disapointed

    I have a friend who bought a NATPC Tablet from Wendy Lou also, and swears by it - he switched from using a Netbook to a tablet, then "upgraded" to the NATPC one. Uses it as an eBook reader, email client, web browser... But I also have a friend who recommended an even cheaper - but still pretty good - tablet from a company called OTA, on AliExpress. I mentioned this to another friend, whose teenaged son overheard, and (based on price and spec') ordered one right away. Cost him £55, including a fake leather carrying case with built-in keyboard AND delivery. 8 GB of internal storage, 512k of RAM, good quality 7" capacitative screen, and unusually a standard sized USB 2 socket as well as a mini-USB "OTG" socket and a socket for micro SD cards. (Being able to plug-in a standard USB "Pen drive" makes life a lot easier) It also had a mini HDMI Out socket, enabling him to connect the tablet to any standard flat-screen TV set, and thereby convert the TV to a "smart TV" (One that lets you use WiFi to watch BBC iPlayer on your TV set, for example) If you want the URL of the seller, PM me!

    Note that these tablets are ANDROID - not Apple... which means that there's normally a socket for MicroSD Cards allowing you to easily add more memory storage (usually to a maximum of 32GB extra) So the amount of "internal storage" provided isn't really that important - Micro SD cards are pretty cheap, and even one that's the maximum 32 GB in size shouldn't cost more than about £20, if you shop around. With Apple, on the other hand, how much storage you buy is how much storage you're ever going to have. It can't be expanded - so best to make sure you bought enough in the first place!
