Should i get a tablet ?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Scott McD · 12-02-2012, 10:09 AM

My girlfriend is struggling for things to get me this year for Christmas, and i never like asking for anything anyway.

I have most things i probably need in here. She is thinking of getting me a Tablet though, since it's one thing i don't have. She knows i don't care for Apple, so an iPad is out of the question. I haven't really looked into Tablets much, but some do look pretty decent and you can get them here for roughly £200.

I just don't know if i have much need for one, or how much use i will get out of it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 fone and to me it looks like most the things i can do on the Tablet, i can do on that anyway. Obviously will a smaller screen etc.

Who has a Tablet here and how much do you recommend one? Or what kind in particular?

Gracias!

MaDalton · 12-02-2012, 10:15 AM

i have just ordered the Galaxy Note 10.1 after trying it out... even though the screen of my S3 is pretty big, a tablet is something totally different. and it saves me from taking a laptop with me when i travel.

we'll see how often i really use it ;)

pornguy · 12-02-2012, 10:15 AM

Been thinking about a galaxy tab myself. I have a motorola razor but actually could use something bigger.

Have you thought about maybe having her get you a gift like a trip to a spa with her. Massage sun relaxation together?? Most chicks dig that and its nice to get a day away some times. No sense in buying something just to buy you a gift.

BAKO · 12-02-2012, 10:18 AM

Ipad is the way to go the rest are fucking gay

Jakke PNG · 12-02-2012, 11:28 AM

I just got the Samsung's note 10.1, it's kind of nice..although I do prefer the win8 I have on my Lumia 920. IF I was to buy a tablet now, I'd probably get a win8 one.

I truly dislike apple's shit, gave my iphone to my wife too.

Galaxy tab all the way, or something with WIN8 if you want that direction in your hands

Wow, haven't seen you around here in a while...

kane · 12-02-2012, 01:39 PM

It really depends on what you like to do. If you read e-books (kindle/nook style) or plan to and you like playing games and using apps you will probably find the tablet to be pretty useful. I bought one of those HP tablets about a year ago when they were down to $99 and since I have been able to load android on it. I pretty much just use the kindle app and a few game apps for it, but it makes a nice reader and I can play Monopoly or Plants Vs. Zombies while on the shitter

Roald · 12-02-2012, 01:53 PM

Get an iPad ;)

SilentKnight · 12-02-2012, 02:03 PM

The wife and I both have Acer Iconia A500 tabs - expanded my 16GB internal storage with a 32GB microSD chip.

At first I didn't really see the need for getting a tablet - like you said my smartphone does everything a tablet does anyways.

But having the bigger screen is great - for viewing photography on-the-go...playing the occasional game...watchin' a movie. I also loaded it up with all my MP3s and wire it into my work vehicle sound system.

Good for showing potential clients photography samples, too.

madko · 12-02-2012, 02:46 PM

in my opinion .. Android all the way. here are some reasons: http://themesandgadgets.wordpress.co...o-buy-in-ipad/

Also i would recommend some Samsung Galaxy or a Motorola Xoom

seXXXhub · 12-02-2012, 02:55 PM

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is what i have, and im very happy with it, battery lifetime is about 3 days for normal use ... do that with your lappie or S2 ;)

Double trouble · 12-02-2012, 03:02 PM

livexxx · 12-02-2012, 06:42 PM

If you are going to get a galaxy tab 2 7" , then you better hurry up. Loads of stores all sold out of them last weekend, pretty similar this weekend as well. Samsung are also doing a £50 cashback so you can get one for around £120. Well you can when they are in stock. Don't know why they keep going out of stock, there must be some big party coming up that everyone is buying things for I guess.

xenigo · 12-02-2012, 07:05 PM

I'd go with both an iPad Mini, and an iPad 4. They're slicker and better made devices than any of the Android options. All you have to do is pick up the Mini to know what I'm talking about.

Samsung 10.1 is a great tablet.

Never had a problem with mine and use it far more frequently than I thought I would.

Also as MaDalton said, great replacement for a laptop when you take a trip. Not so great for work, however email / surfing / checking stats = perfect

epitome · 12-02-2012, 07:54 PM

I use mine a lot but mostly just for lounging and fucking around. It's good for that. Hate typing on it so for email and stuff I just use my phone.

mineistaken · 12-02-2012, 08:15 PM

you don't need it, its useless except for what epitome said, go with the spa or weekend away option for those 200 pounds. Memories are better than things

facialfreak · 12-02-2012, 08:16 PM

Android is one day going to make for a very slick tablet ... but they are not quite there yet.

Once you have tried the iPad, the 'droid tablets don't just quite cut it.

I sell both Android and iPad/iPad in my bricks and mortar store, and even though my profit margins are much better on Android tablets (especially HK brand names like Onda and Ainol), I always tell my customers, if you are kinda geeky and like to tinker with things, you will probably love Android, but if you want a tablet that everything 'just works' without any tinkering, then spend the extra few bucks for an iPad.

For now anyway.

2MuchMark · 12-02-2012, 08:39 PM

The Apple iPads are FARRRRRR better than competing products, and I'm not just saying that because I'm an Apple fan. A Full charge will last you for monts on the shelf, weeks with regular use, or 10 hours of non-stop use. The screen is perfect and there's millions of GOOD QUALITY Apps. It is also the fastest and most response of all of the other tablets.

Just one thing : If you already have a data plan with your cellphone, Just get the Wifi model without G3 or LTE. When you need Internet on the road, just tether it to your phone for internet instead. This will save you a cool $100.

facialfreak · 12-02-2012, 08:58 PM

In fairness to Android tablets, if you are going to go that route (for price factor or geekiness), look for a tablet that has a "RockChip" processor and quad core GPU ...

This will give you the closest to iPad experience you can get. There are several of the Chinese/HongKong tablets that are as good (and a few even better) than Samsung and Nexus tablets, and much cheaper too!

The new Onda Vi30 Dual Core is a very sweet 8" tablet (I love this format - big enough, yet still compact) that gets top marks for usability, build quality, and style ... and still comes in around $179 retail. It's clad in aircraft-quality aluminum just like it's Apple cousins, and as of this Wednesday, the new Vi30 Dual Cores will ship with Jellybean 4.1.1

So which ones do you recommend with quad core cpu?

By the way - why do you need so much power for a tablet?

Tablets are pressure-sensitive touchscreen technology, and a huge part of their appeal is the ability to "swipe" through screens smoothly ..

A jerky swiping motion -- or one that sticks/freezes in the center of the page momentarily -- will kill a tablet sale faster than running into a brick wall with a hardon!

Quad core GPU will also give you the best HD video playback quality - supporting up to 2180p

It's the same OS. If you like android phones you will like android tablets. The only difference between my phone and tablet is screen size and the ability to make calls and text.

Actually you can call/text on the galaxy note.. not the most handy of phones, but you can (if you get the SIM version).

I guess. But that begs me to ask why would I? My phone is always within arms reach... Even when I am sleeping and showering.

Jakke PNG · 12-03-2012, 01:00 AM

I don't use it..but I have my "sister" sim card for it, so I have the same sim for that and my phone and I had to call the telco to stop calls from being routed to the tablet's sim.. as it was annoying to have it "ring" whenever my phone rang hehe

Diomed · 12-03-2012, 04:58 AM

I didn't like my tablet that much at first.. Was difficult to use and took too long to do things. But now that I am used to it I use it every day and fucking love it. I do everything non work related with it, and I do a lot of simple work stuff on it too.

They grow on you, and then you love them.

Yup, and that's the main reason I made this thread. I always have my phone on me, so was wondering why I would also need a Tablet with me aswell.

Still haven't made up my mind though, haha. Wish I could just think of something else instead and make it easier...

CrocMint · 12-03-2012, 05:40 AM

My friend bought tablet, it was not possible to do anything useful on it, so he sold it and bought a laptop.

I didn't even bother to buy any - tried few tablets in shops, absolutely useless thing for work... and for the leisure, i prefer e-reader with eink screen.

You just love talking out your ass...especially when Apple is involved. The iPad mad is old tech in a pretty shell made for idiots like you. No one disputes this, reviews on sites not focusing on Apple shit all over it. As did a few apple sites.

Xoom is the worst tablet I have ever used, no idea how you can like it. We have 5 or 6 tablets in the office for testing and no one likes having to test things on the Xoom.

When I am just surfing I hate using my laptop and I get tired of my phone screen... even though it is a Nexus with a large screen. It's a happy medium. You don't *need* one but it is nice to have one.

Yes, I just love talking out of my ass. I have no clue what I'm talking about. I don't use a tablet on a daily basis. I don't own a whole array of mobile devices, from a range of manufacturers... or even have tested them extensively. You're right, I'm a follower... I only buy the things I think will make me look cool.

If I thought a Transformer Prime 700 would make me look cool, I would have bought that instead. I was considering buying the Kindle HD, but you know... it just didn't seem flashy enough for me. I can only own the most expensive devices, because I'm just that shallow. I love wasting money, because I have so much of it.

Someone's a bit overly emotional about this, don't you think?

The 4th generation iPad gets top ratings amongst modern tablets.

http://www.slashgear.com/ipad-review...peed-30254851/

http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/apple-ipad-review/

Here's some reviews that say it's pretty much top notch.

Let's see the reviews that say the contrary.

Oh and let's talk about "nobody disputing this". The iPad is the #1 selling tablet in the world. How do you think that happened, if the iPad is the super-old-tech shit-sucking device you claim it is?

Android devices use what's known as a Hardware Abstraction Layer that essentially acts as a mediator between the JavaScript OS and the instructions issued directly to the hardware. The reason Android devices need to bump up the CPU specifications and require more memory is because there is WAY more overhead occurring with the Android OS.

That's the reason you see so much stutter when you flick a page back and forth with an Android device... Nobody disputes that.

Speaking of stuttering... I took the liberty of doing a quick YouTube search for you, simply searching for "Android Stutter".

I'll ruin the ending for you... so you won't have to watch it:

Like:

* Screen Size
* S Pen - Notetaking
* Battery Life
* The Fastest Android Phone I've used
* Media looks great
* Games look great and play well

Didn't Like:

* Buckled under heavy processing
* Typical Android Stuttering did crop up
* Screen wasn't as sharp as I would have liked (text)
* Text flashing during transitions, animations (like while scrolling)
* Photos and video weren't as true to life as I would have hoped

Bottom Line:

* If you don't mind the caveats, It's a Recommended Device
* Compare only to SIII
* Compare with iPhone? Two different galaxies, literally

So, here's the summary:

iOS is a LOW LEVEL OS. It interfaces directly with hardware components giving you a robust smooth user experience that does not require mega specs in order to give you a great experience.

Android is a HIGH LEVEL OS requiring a Hardware Abstraction Layer (because Google does NOT manufacture hardware, they need to provide an OS that can function on many types of hardware). It is a Java OS.

Waiting till next year for some better tablets but just ordered two Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 as xmas gifts for my parents. Although not very powerful, it should be good enough for their needs and is probably still more useful to them than most of the toys on the market.

Once you have tried the iPad, the 'droid tablets don't just quite cut it. I sell both Android and iPad/iPad in my bricks and mortar store, and even though my profit margins are much better on Android tablets (especially HK brand names like Onda and Ainol), I always tell my customers, if you are kinda geeky and like to tinker with things, you will probably love Android, but if you want a tablet that everything 'just works' without any tinkering, then spend the extra few bucks for an iPad. For now anyway. __________________ Managed Shared Hosting starting at $4.99/mo Managed VPS starting at $29.99/mo

A Full charge will last you for monts on the shelf, weeks with regular use, or 10 hours of non-stop use. The screen is perfect and there's millions of GOOD QUALITY Apps. It is also the fastest and most response of all of the other tablets. Just one thing : If you already have a data plan with your cellphone, Just get the Wifi model without G3 or LTE. When you need Internet on the road, just tether it to your phone for internet instead. This will save you a cool $100. __________________ Custom Coding \| Videochat Solutions \| Age Verification \| IT Help & Support www.2Much.net

facialfreak Confirmed User Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Montreal Posts: 3,018	In fairness to Android tablets, if you are going to go that route (for price factor or geekiness), look for a tablet that has a *"RockChip" processor and quad core GPU ...* This will give you the *closest to iPad* experience you can get. There are several of the Chinese/HongKong tablets that are as good (and a few even better) than Samsung and Nexus tablets, and much cheaper too! The new *Onda Vi30 Dual Core* is a very sweet 8" tablet (I love this format - big enough, yet still compact) that gets top marks for usability, build quality, and style ... and still comes in around $179 retail. It's clad in aircraft-quality aluminum just like it's Apple cousins, and as of this Wednesday, the new Vi30 Dual Cores will ship with *Jellybean 4.1.1* __________________ Managed Shared Hosting starting at $4.99/mo Managed VPS starting at $29.99/mo Last edited by facialfreak; 12-02-2012 at 09:03 PM..

Diomed Converting like it's 1999 Industry Role: Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: The South Posts: 6,164	I didn't like my tablet that much at first.. Was difficult to use and took too long to do things. But now that I am used to it I use it every day and fucking love it. I do everything non work related with it, and I do a lot of simple work stuff on it too. They grow on you, and then you love them. __________________ 10 years of experience in: CHAT SALES - PAID TRAFFIC - CONVERSION - CREATIVES - CONSULTATION

I didn't even bother to buy any - tried few tablets in shops, absolutely useless thing for work... and for the leisure, i prefer e-reader with eink screen. __________________ Our Herbal Supplements for Adult Health - a New Revenue Stream for You - mike[at]crocmint.com

Although not very powerful, it should be good enough for their needs and is probably still more useful to them than most of the toys on the market. Last edited by MPGdevil; 12-04-2012 at 07:46 AM..
