Best sub £200 tablet

[neilb]

My mother is looking to buy a tablet, she was looking at the Lenovo Yoga but reviews suggest it's not brilliant.

Anybody have any ideas on what's a decent tablet in that sort of price range?

Google Nexus 7 (2013) best resolution and the 16 gig comes in under 200.. just

We have had a couple at work to play with - full windows 8.1 for sub £200 is a bargain. Obviously it has a couple of issues but if you wanted Full windows on a 8" you cant really get cheaper.

They are end of life-ing them in the next month or so and will be releasing a new version soon (apparently keeping with a similar price model)

I'd buy another nexus 7(2013).

Does she want brand new? I'd look for a 2nd hand 32gig lte model if I was you.

I can't think of anything worse than Windows 8 on a tablet..

just my opinion of course

Or, I'd also stump for a Nexus.

Failing that, the Tesco Hudl.

Meeeeeoooow, saucer of milk for MsDG hehe ;-)

I got a Dell XPS 10 and its pretty rocking ;-) but as this was placed in the Android section I thought u after an Android device.

You sure she cannot be tempted by Apple... £209 for an iPad mini.

I think you need to determine what size screen she would prefer first. And determine what she is going to use it for mainly !

I thought about that but I think the conversation would end up getting nowhere, just the best combination of features/spec in the price range is I think the way to go.

For a mom I'd probably go for a kindle fire hdx, mayday button, kindle books etc

An iPad 2 is definitely achievable for [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
I've bought both my parents iPads and they love them to bits. Android tablets are for enthusiasts, not tech challenged parents.

For a lot of people especially the elderly a bigger screen is very important. GTI has nailed it with the iPad choice for none tech Savvy older people. I also bought both my folks iPads and they love them as they are pretty foolproof to use. I think my Mum who is 80 would struggle with an Android tablet to be honest. Again you need to look at the needs and the ability of the User.
