    The Best Android Tablet Under 200 dollars is...?

    I would love your suggestions. This is for my mother in law. I was thinking of the Nexus 7. It's being sold at Walmart for right at $200 bones. Suggestions?

    Surfing, e mail, games and reading is all she will be using it for.

      If Nexus 7 is $200 that is going to be the best bang for your buck. I have a Nexus 4 and have been very happy with it. My only complaint, is the battery dies fairly fast.

            I just picked up my first tablet a little over a month ago to take to the hospital when my wife went into labor instead of dragging the laptop. Picked up the Hisense Sero 7 Pro from Walmart for $129. It's VERY comparable to the Nexus 7 with the addition of the dual cameras, microsd slot, and cheaper. No problems so far.

            1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core
            1GB DDR2 & 8GB on board memory.
            1280x800 resolution
            NFC, Bluetooth, mini HDMI, USB OTG
            and a fairly long lasting battery.

            Looks like the price went up, but I'd check in store. My local store still has a bunch at $129.
            http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hisense-Se...70BSA/25427874

            I'd definitely recommend it for the price.

                  I've had the Nexus 7 for about two months now. I like it except:

                  1. The wifi kept dropping out - the fix was an app called wifi fixer;

                  2. It came with 4.3 Jellybean. When I upgraded to 4.4 KitKat, I could no longer watch Flash videos.

                            even with 4.3 it didn't play flash directly. I had to download the apk and install it manually. FYI, I purchased the Photon browser because its supposed to play Flash in 4.4, but the lag in Flash videos makes it worthless. Not playing Flash has always been my gripe with Apple, now it looks like Android has followed suit.

                            And its not like there aren't plenty of Flash videos and sites out there. I've been hearing about HTML5 being the new standard for almost 10 years now. Simply never happened.

                              Agree. I have the tab 10.1 and just got my kids the 7.

                                  I just bought my parents the Kindle Fire HD today on Amazon's one day only sale (seen on their homepage). Cheap, amazon integrated, so easy for my mom to use and understand, and plays Flash videos, Netflix, Youtube, etc. Everything a mom and pop would want to use it for...Great price point. One word of advice is to pay a little more and buy it without the annoying ads.

                                      If I didn't end up with the Kindle Fire HD I would have gone with the Nexus 7...But for what my parents need, the price point and integration with Amazon won me over...Especially with the sale they are offering today.

                                        I think KitKat is the version my wife recently upgraded her SGS4 with - and it fouled up several of her phone/contact features.

                                            I bought several for the family at $79 each over the summer from a WallyWorld in Wisconsin.

                                                  Do not get the nexus 7. I have one and it has all sorts of screen problems. Google it. Alao battery time is pretty bad.

                                                    I use my Nexus 7 as a remote control for my Chromecast... that's about it. In all fairness, I never gave it a solid chance yet, I prefer my iPad mini and my wife uses our regular iPad. The next trip I go on, I'm making a point to take my Nexus 7 and give it a real solid chance.

                                                        Except the wifi range on ipad minis sucks serious balls.

                                                            I just received kitkat 4.4.2 and installed it. Hopefully it will fix the flash issue, but im not counting on it. im on the road today, so ill give it a full workout tomorrow.

                                                                I avoided installing the upgrade after hearing the grief my wife had with it. She still doesn't have it fully sorted out. Might take a factory reset.
