I want to buy a tablet, but which one?

by ASG00 - 5/23/12 6:00 PM

I want to buy a tablet, but I am trying to figure out which one do I get? My reuqirements are the ability to store media files for later use, I want to be able to write documents on it and store them. one with alot of games to play and other apps. I also have a 1tb storage device that i can only access wirelessly and i want to be able to acces those files on the tablet. So which one fits the bill?

Many folk make big assumptions that tablets run the Windows games or Office apps.

And most tablets have 32GB storage and some don't have the slot for another 32GB memory card.

It gets worse from here. What tablet have you used? If none, do not buy till you lived with one for a week.

Ye, I think maybe many people have this trouble, because tablets exist here and there. But i think "b76c Tablet 7 Inch Multi-touch Capacitive Allwinner A10 Android 4.0 ICS 1GB RAM 8GB Dual Camera HDMI" is not a bad choice.

iPad is the best tablet available. With the kind of display, apps and interface, other tablets cant compete with it.
You can go for 64GB ipad 3

A friend just purchased a Toshiba Thrive, I played with it for a couple of hours and was pretty impressed. It has full sized ports including a full sized SD slot. The thing I really liked is the fact that the battery is removeable/replaceable.He paid a little over 500.00 for it. it is the 32gb vesion. The wireless hook up from his home network (router) was excellent compared to an iPAD that was being used in the same room, that hook up was fair, the iPAD was running similar parameters. Plus the iPAD cost over 100.00 more.
