Good quality 10 inch tablet

Hi,
I'm looking for my first tablet. I've decided on 10 inch because I'll be spending most of my time web browsing, and a 7 inch screen would require far too much zooming and panning.
So I've been looking at the following tablets:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (£229)
Asus MeMO pad Smart 10 (£229)
Archos 97 Titanium (£189) - 9.7 inch
Lenovo A2109 (£169) - 9 inch
I think the Lenovo might be a little small for web browsing though. Also my budget really tops out at £200, but I'm hoping come the end of the month the Tab 2 10.1 will get a nice price drop because that's when the Tab 3 10.1 should be coming out.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or any recommendations where I can get the above tablets cheaper?
Thanks,

You could try a generic android tablet that they have on ebay for less than 2000

I'd much rather go for a known brand, it's likely to be a better build quality, and have more online support.Google nexus 10
You can't get a nexus 10 for less than my budget of £200...0 -
I would say either Lenovo or Asus.
Lenovo for the price.
Asus for its spec and Asus usually is the first one other than Nexus to get updated.0 -
Galaxy Tab is almost identical to the Note 10.1 .
Just a bit slower and less responsive than the note .
It should also be up datable to the latest Android .

Archos stuff is very good value for the money, though the build quality on the casing tends to be not the best.
Build quality on the Samsungs is great.0 -
Thanks for the advice everyone. I think the Note 10.1 is out of the question, as it's £349 everywhere I look.
It appears I missed an offer on the Asus MeMo Pad a while back at tesco for £209 which is a little disappointing.
I have had a play with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and it seemed quite responsive and very well built, but the one annoying thing about it is that it's got a proprietary 30-pin connector and no microUSB.
I've also started to look at the Acer Iconia A210, which looks pretty decent. Has anyone used one?0 -
I've just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1", and I love it. I did look at the note but couldn't justify the extra money.0

I'm glad you like it, it does seem very well built. I'm hoping it get's a price drop when the Tab 3 10.1 comes out.
I've just stumbled across the Archos 101 Titanium (£147.97)
And the Acer Iconia A210 (£187.97)
Both from Laptops Direct.0 -
