Wife has a kindle fire. I want something larger screen size. I like the nexus 7. Anyone have some opinions to help me out. Using this to surf the web don't care about apps or storage. This is for web surfing and won't leave the house. Holiday budget of 250$ Max. Help me out guys. Pros/cons. What do u have.

I have a lenovo but it's really more of a technical pad.. it has all the windows office programs plus adobe and an autocad program... surfs well also... the wife has the IPad 3 and seems to play games and surf pretty well... after you figure out what you want look for refubs tho... most brands will have a clearance page or you can look at auctions...... 😟

A refurb iPad 2 from Apple is going for $319, free shipping, + tax. The things are bullet proof, and the best surfers on the market.

Finding a 10" below $250 complete is a bit of a tall order. You won't be getting the best interface or battery life - make sure you play with it before you buy.

The Nexus 7 seems like the best 7" buy at $200

This market has been changing fast, so a lot of web research is in order. Get on that suits your needs,,,,,,

Seems that you get what you pay for on theses, play before you pay.

BUT, if all you will be doing is surfing/posting then you will find the bargen is a Walmart netbook. Not great for streaming video, but the full key board is nice. And I'll bet you can get out the door for >$250.

I say dig up another hundred bucks and go for the iPad. You won't regret it . . . . .

You said just for home but if it's capable of 3g you can pick up data plans pretty cheap these days... that's what they said on tv anyway.... 😟

Just get an iPad. You may say you don't care about the apps but lots of sites have apps built for ipad and there are a lot you may just not realize you wanted (like live sports on watchespn and such).

I've tried a few different tablets and none have the support, either from apps or from the manufacturer releasing updates, nor the build quality or resell value of the iPad.

I have a Motorola zoom, love it, hate it , typing on a virtual keyboard sucks at times, other times it's great like right now, the room is dark I am horizontal on the couch.

Pretty fast, good screen, good battery but this was about 5 bills when I bought it 2 to 3 years ago. I am sure it could be had for half that now.

Like the android platform personally.

Yup. $20 for 1gigabyte/30 days. That's Verizon... I think AT&T is the same.

Just wanted to add (for some of the readers) that all iPads don't come with cellular capability- it's an extra $130, plus the pay as you go monthly. I've had it on a couple of my iPads and without on some others. It *really* comes in handy, regardless of the ability to tether from your cell phone or wifi everywhere you go, but it is a pretty big additional cost for the connivence. If you're considering the cellular addition, the model becomes more important, since iPad 3/4 also has LTE capability. I've clocked it as high as 40/5!

Hey bat, just make sure you post here and let us all know what you purchased or didn't purchase, when you make up your mind, most seek advice only NEVER to be heard from again, ignorant bassards. 🙄
