I'm after a 12" tablet for a particular 2 apps I use for shares so need to see the charts as big and clear as possible. I have an ipad mini retina 7.9" screen and its excellent.

Can anyone recommend a decent 12" tablet please up to maybe £450? I'd rather hear it from actual owners than a salesperson in PC World
Thanks in advance

    I have a lenovo yoga 2 11 (ideapad) running win 8.1. it's not the ideal os if you like plain vanilla windows but it does have multi functionality.

    Not many people own 12" tablet.

    I can say if the spec worth the money, but I can't say anything else.

    why not upgrading with Win 10?

    Do the 2 apps you use have Android (or Windows) equivalents?
    If not, then you are limited in your choice to probably the iPad Pro (which is more than £450).

    Why not an 11" or 13" netbook? Several available with full HD.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Thanks all, after looking at netbooks/chromebooks I think im swaying towards one of those instead, seem to get good spec for a lot cheaper than a 12" tablet. Am looking at the 11" screen versions so open to any recommendations, currently looking at:

    Acer Travelmate B116-M
    Asus Transformer T100HA
    Asus TP200SA
    HP Pavillion X2-10-K007na

    Any stand out from that list?
