Hello
I am really not good with technology at all. My 9 year old has a v. limited budget for a tablet. He really only needs it for games such as minecraft and some music. He has seen two he likes but I am not sure which is better, so would really appreciated some help. He has seen ;
Archos 110426 - 9.7" Android Tablet 16GB WiFi 1080p at £99.99
or
NEW 2014 TABTRONICS 9" Q9ICE Android Tablet PC - ANDROID 4.2.2 Jelly Bean - DUAL CORE CPU - 1024 x 600 HD Capacitive Touch Screen 1024 x 600 - Dual Cameras- BLUETOOTH - HDMI in WHITE
Are any of these any good for him or is there a better alternative. Any ideas or help would be really appreciated,
thank you

Hi
I can't comment on those 2 particular tablets but I bought my 10 year old daughter the Hudl from Tesco. It might only be 7" but I can't fault it. The touchscreen is super sensitive just like an iPad. I think the resolution is higher than the original iPad mini. If you can use Tesco points so if you double them up you could get it £60 otherwise it is £119.99. She plays minecraft on it with no issues at all.
Two big benefits are it's a quad core processor and you get full access google play store. This is something the kindle does not.
Cheers

I second the Hudl, plus you get tesco pointsIn The Silence Of The Night, We Still Hear Their Screams...0
-
personally, I'd go with the second... got one similar last year and it's stll fine now... at a third of the price, it's saving half the cost of a replacement in a couple of year's time right from the start
Also, Jellybean is newer and slightly better than ICS ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
