Want to buy a laptop and tablet for my kids!

Hi All

I want to buy a Google Nexus 2012 16GB and the Asus x551cs-sx29h 15.6" laptop for my 2 children for Xmas aged 7 and 8.

I was worried about the 1 GB of RAM not being enough for the tablet, can anyone tell me if this tablet would be a good buy or any other tablets of a similar price range of £150.

Can anyone give me some advice on a durable protective cases as they damaged the screen on the last cheap tablet I bought for them.

Also could you guys let me know if the laptop will be a good buy or any alternatives for £280 or less (preferably a lot less :rotfl:)

Thank you very much in advance guys.

All advice received is very much appreciated!

Regards

Andrew

Lucky Kids!
When I was a kid all I got was an orange and a block of wood!

Have a mooch around John Lewis as you should get good advice and a free 2 year (at least) warranty.

Don't go to Currys as they will just try and fleece you as much as possible on 'extras' you wont need.

I have had the 2012 nexus since it's release and have never found the ram to be a problem. I use it at home mostly for reading, games and face book. But have also used it on occasion at work for making notes whilst out and about.

I have this case, which has proved to be sturdy and is only now showing the signs of daily use.

As for laptops, I expect someone will be along shortly to advise.

1GB RAM for Android is OK.
I don't think there is branded tablet with 2 GB RAM inside your price bracket

the only tablet I could think of is
