What tablet should I buy?
 
Im tired of lugging my laptop when I travel and want to get a tablet.
I am NOT getting an iPad, its too expensive and it doesnt have flash which I need.

What would you guys recommend for something cheaper but good

Roald 05-05-2012 08:58 AM

Get an iPad anyways ;)

BAKO 05-05-2012 09:05 AM

iPad :-)

Sid70 05-05-2012 09:10 AM

iPad is one and only. Unbeatable experience.

tony286 05-05-2012 09:15 AM

Ive had the nook tablet,the galaxy tab and now went back to the iPad. I got the lastest one. I read alot so the display is kind to my old eyes.the galaxy wasnt bad. Laptop replacement I would look at the Asus prime they got a cool keyboard add on for it.

suesheboy 05-05-2012 09:16 AM

Fuck Ipad.

I love my Motorola xoom. Has never crashed or hung up, compatible with every web site i have surfed so far and love the aps.

Seamless with my android phone as well and when I realy want to type up a storm, I use a wireless keyboard.

Have used my 1 year old laptop 2 times in 6 months.

3 people replied that you should get an iPad, although you don't want an iPad.

Here's an interesting link: reviews of best 5 tablets:

Samsung Galaxy Tab series all the way. Don't even look at inferior shit from Apple.

It's a different thing. I'd suggest to have both.

Pink Misfit 05-05-2012 09:31 AM

I have the galaxy tab and really like it. I have a kindle fire for reading, checking mail etc but when I need to do more I use the galaxy.

AllAboutCams 05-05-2012 09:35 AM

ipad ...........

Theo 05-05-2012 09:39 AM

Ipad, yet i wouldnt mind a linux tablet

arock10 05-05-2012 10:17 AM

ipad though I still have no idea how it would actually replace my laptop

gumdrop 05-05-2012 10:28 AM

Anything other than an iPad.

Sid70 05-05-2012 10:28 AM

I am to withdraw a tablet review i posted, go for Macbook air.

uniquemkt 05-05-2012 10:29 AM

Got a HP Touchpad with cynaogenmod7 on it. Much better for me than an ipad. Flash support, real bluetooth, great battery life, support for any video I throw at it, fast and a great screen.

baddog 05-05-2012 10:36 AM

Happy with our Xooms.

DWB 05-05-2012 10:37 AM

A device that can't even play flash videos is the #1 pad even though there are alternatives.

That is some amazing marketing.

Agreed.

I have not tried the new Ipad but stacking functionality and compatibility my Motorola blew away the previous Ipads.

Notice not a single Motorola in any of their reviews. Now that is biased.

I was not a tablet fan before I bought one which was only to check my web sites and how well they function. I am hooked spending a good 4 hours a day on mine.

Can't even begin to say how much I like it in client meetings, classes and conventions.

Same thing here, but I'm running CM9. Best $99 I have ever spent.

That's not just a marketing. That's religion. It doesn't matter if your god is a faggot, you still have to pray him.

PR_Dave 05-05-2012 11:30 AM

Get an ultrabook.

fuzebox 05-05-2012 11:51 AM

I couldn't travel with an Ipad only. In an emergency I'm just not fast or efficient enough on it, and there's fundamentals that just inconvenience my daily workflow. 15 minutes in the morning on vacation with my netbook would turn into an hour with an Ipad :(

I have the exact same thing but some of its quirks are starting to get to me so I'm going to sell it and upgrade to an actual native Android tab.

ContentPimp 05-05-2012 12:04 PM

Ipad3 is the best. i own also galaxy 10.1 tab and some chinese one and ipad blows them away... take it from someone who hates apple ...

SilentKnight 05-05-2012 12:24 PM

The wife and I bought a pair of Acer A500 10" 32gb Iconia tabs last month. Added another 32gb with the micro SD.

Love'em!

I will buy your Touchpad when you are ready to sell it. My kids love em too.

Let me know.

Mr Pheer 05-05-2012 12:31 PM

Whatever you get isnt going to affect me in any way. So get which ever tablet you want, or comes in the prettiest box.

uniquemkt 05-05-2012 01:30 PM

I'm excited to see CM9, once they add support for the cam and mic...

DaLord 05-05-2012 01:53 PM

If you don't want an iPad my choice would be Samsung. The prices are not THAT much apart. I paid the same for my iPad 2 as I should for Samsung.

HomerSimpson 05-05-2012 07:03 PM

iPad or Galaxy

Babaganoosh 05-05-2012 07:55 PM

Just bought a 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. It's the perfect size. I'll probably never use my 10" tablet again.

HandballJim 05-05-2012 09:55 PM

Buy black one :pimp

vdbucks 05-05-2012 11:05 PM

I'm personally waiting for the Asus Transformer Infinity TF700.

georgeyw 05-05-2012 11:15 PM

Samsung galaxy pad. Using it now and love it. :thumbsup

venus 05-05-2012 11:23 PM

I have both the ipad and the Motorola Xoom, I hate the ipad. Basically its made to work, and work one way. There is a limited number of email clients and browsers you canget for it, and the ones you can are all pay. Android has a ton of different email clients and browsers. ou can also add widgets to your home screen on android, widgets are app's you don't have to open, they are up and running on your screen. Ipad used to run smoother, but not any more, now android straight up smokes ipad. Heck even apple has started stealing ideas from android.

Any one which at least supports flash :2 cents:

adamneve 05-06-2012 01:06 AM

after using both for quite some time, i can say only iPad!

clickhappy 05-06-2012 02:48 AM

This is the second best selling tablet on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-TF...s_3063224011_2
this looks good, great price too

BIGTYMER 05-06-2012 02:59 AM

IPad. The kindle fire is cheap and great for surfing.

DudeRick 05-06-2012 03:26 AM

Ipad! I have owned both the Ipad and an Android based tablet. The Ipad far superior! :thumbsup

Well said, same here. :thumbsup

I do not mind the tablet when traveling, or watching TV where I need to do some level of hit and miss, or minor tasks. However, when I have to get actual work done, I need a real computer. I can bang it out, with proper spelling in a couple of seconds what would take me 5 on an iPad.

Each have their pros and cons. But I simply work much faster on a desktop/laptop.

:2 cents:

I wouldn't even attempt to get any work done on a tablet. For me it's mostly personal enjoyment - watchin' the occasional movie or game playing in a comfy chair.

I also keep some original photography on it to carry with me to show potential clients, friends, etc. Better than squinting at the tiny screen on my Motorola 'droid cell, lol.

Galaxy 7" tablet is perfect size. Been using one for almost a year now. With Teamviewer, I can access my desktop for anything. You will be happy and you won't be on the Apple teat.
