Hi guys

I'm looking to get a 10 inch tablet, have seen this one and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on other ones to consider, my budget is around £100.

Thanks everyone!

    Depends on what your going to use it for?

    When it comes to tablets you get what you pay for a tablet that costs £76 isn't going to be lightning fast at doing anything.

    Looking at reviews of it, they all say its very slow and not a very capable device, still if your not looking at doing anything quickly then it maybe the device for you.

    Also your link says its a grade a product which means its a refurbished product.
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    Thank you - will be used for internet, emailing, social network, maybe uploading some photos and basic games. Any other suggestions?

    Does it have to be 10"? The Nook HD+ is phenomenal value, but is only 9".
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

    no camera built in to the nook though so skype and / or taking pictures to upload to facebook etc will be a no-no.

    Ah, I'd seen the "uploading pictures" but hadn't made the leap to taking pictures as well, sorry! :)

    Thanks guys; it doesn't have to be 10 inch but ideally I am looking for something a bit bigger than a 7 inch tablet. I'll have a look at the Nook HD. Any more thoughts?

    Nook HD is 7 inches, Nook HD+ is 9 inches! Don't forget the plus! ;)
