Are iPads worth the extra money?

longwalks1

Ive got a google nexus 7 but every seems to be ranting about ipads, are they that much better? And if so, what ipad is the best to go for?

No. Just more expensive as they are regarded as a 'designer' brand.

You know, the must have item.

I don't think of Apple as a designer brand - it's just a brand like any other.

Having used products from many manufactures, I prefer Apple for build quality and intuitive software.

That's my preference, others will think differently. But please don't assume I'm an airhead and only interested in labels because I choose to use a certain brand.

What do you want the iPad to do that the Nexus 7 can't?

Well, I think so, as I have one & love it - but I respect others' wishes to have a bit more autonomy & a lot less "walled garden".

Mine's WiFi only so not much use outside the house (an aspect I regard as a feature not a bug) & old enough to have a rather ropey camera so the lads aren't seized with a desire to talk it on walks.

It's all a matter of preference.

I (or rather my wife) has an iPad 1. I have a Nexus 2012. I much prefer the Nexus. My wife no longer uses either.

As tablets go the Nexus 7 isn't bad, it's more of a case that the iPad can do things better. For example the screen quality on an iPad gives much sharper/clearer text. The Nexus screen I found a bit wishy/washy.

I found scrolling web pages on the Nexus was frustrating, as the page never scrolled at the rate I was swiping. It was as if the webpage was being dragged through treacle.

There are more tablet dedicated apps available for the iPad, and they are generally higher quality.

I think the iPad feels better in your hand. It's a rock solid device.
