Tablet for web browsing/Sports

dx052

I have read every review under the sun and I am still not decided on which tablet is best suited for me. At the moment I leaning to towards an Ipad not because I think they are the best but for some reason I like the shape of the screen. I have had a Nexus 7 and although I liked the fact that I could put it in my pocket, I found the screen a bit small for the length of time I tend to stay online. I have also have a Samsung Tab 2 10.1 when they first came out which was okay but I found the tablet a tiny bit heavy and I didn't like the shape of the screen. My uses are just really web, although I do like to watch a lot of football match's and sports events online (BT etc) hence the screen shape/layout is quite important to me. Any thoughts?

What is more important? Pocketability or watching at home? You basically need to decide if you want a seven or ten inch tablet.
If 7 inch and you're happy with Android, then the Nexus 7 has a beter res screen than the iPad Mini.

How does 8" grab you. Before Christmas I bought a Samsung Galaxy from Curry's/PC World who at the time were £179 I think (the cheapest) but if you look at https://www.hotukdeals.co.uk I'm sure someone recently posted they were cheaper now.

Anyway, this companies details/description/specification are in my opinion, better then Samsung's own:-

come back and let us know how things go. Coincidently I bought a cheapie wrap-around case from one of the phone shops.

PS, don't know why the link is showing the site super large, it aint of my doing.

A 7" screen is to small for my needs. When I go up to a 10" screen my options get smaller but I prefer the viewing experience of a larger screen.

I did actually look at that deal a couple of weeks ago and for the money its very respectable. Didn't get very good reviews though.

If you can afford an ipad get one. They're great and get updates regularly.

You're on your 3rd tab and you haven't got the hang of it yet?
