Which Tablet? help please

Can someone recommend a decent "cheapish" tablet?
I want to use it for browsing the Internet, eBay etc and maybe emails. Also, will only be using it at home.


Don't know much about Tablets but liked the look of the Nexus 7. Only thing is, I would like a 10 inch one or thereabouts.
Can anyone recommend one please

    Ten inch Nexus is a good tablet .
    Drop to 7 inch and you have Nexus 7 and Hudl 2 .
  • Dont know if they do a 10" nexus tablet but I see they do an 8.9" nexus 9 with android 5 (lollipop) on amazon for £299 and argos for £319 but If it was me I would get a hudl 2 for £129 with 8.3" screen

    Hudl 2 is an 8.3" tablet (not 7") and is brilliant, great sound and screen - gets a very good report from Which compared to tablets twice the price: "This is a fantastic tablet that misses out on a Best Buy by the narrowest of margins."
    My wife had one for Christmas and I'm very impressed.
  • Currys currently have sales on tablets. There is a 7" Samsung one for just £79. I bought the Samsung galaxy tab 2 for around £159 two years ago and it is still working without any issues even though it is used by an 8 yr old constantly. There are also bigger screens if don't want the 7" ones.
    SPC 08 - #452 - £415
    SPC 09 - #452 - £298

    Depending on what you are wanting to run and your budget - Linx 8 or 10 may be worth a look. For a bigger budget the Surface Pro 2 is an awesome bit of kit.

    Staples might do the linx 8 for £49 again, got one and its excellent for the price, using one now. Not really touched my surface pro or asis t100 since.
