In the market for a tablet however not really sure what I should be looking for (processor,memeory,storage space etc).

Looking at anything bigger than the 7" screen as it look really small but there are so many companies making tablets nowadays I seem to be spoilt for choice.

Budget is upto about £300

No Apple vs Android vs Windows (has anyone bought a Windows tablet?)fights please ,I don't care about benchmark tests or anything like that as I will be a casual user just using it for surfing and Xbox Smartglass app

Check them all out and get which one YOU think is best for you not what anyone else thinks I know this may not help much but every one on here as there own opinion I have an old iPad and now a Samsung 2014 like them both but was time for an upgrade

If Google ever release the second generation Nexus 10 then it could be worth a look. Maybe wait for a bit.

I'd like a big screen tablet and if I had to choose now it would be between the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition or an iPad Air.

Yep

Have to own up to having bought an Asus VivoTab running FULL Windows 8, not the crappy RT version. Now upgraded to 8.1 it is very much like having a small laptop and is able to run all sorts of esoteric software as would any PC. Which works for me in my job. Portable too and together with an iPhone Hotspot is a very lightweight/travel friendly way of being able to remotely admin a Windows network.

It was £400 though, so out of budget.

I bought a Nexus 7 (1st generation) when my netbook started to play up. Took me about 2 weeks before I ordered a replacement battery for the netbook.

I just can't get on with them for internet browsing. I am actually considering buying a decent laptop now. I just don't get the whole 'tablet' thing.

I bought a Hudl - with it being so cheap.
Its handy - I'll give it that, but its no replacement for browsing via a laptop.

I bought a Windows tablet - XPS 18 and it is fab. Core i5, 8GB RAM. Out of budget for this thread though.

Cheers guys...budget can be made a bit more just means I don't get one right away which isn't really a problem.

John I believe I may have seen a similar spec one in John Lewis and yes just a bit out of budget

Puff what's the difference between RT and proper Windows 8.1?

Limited app selection, still shunned, small user base

Android ios are the only options in reality

Android's not a lot better, if you're going to buy a tablet buy one that developers actually support, that leaves you two choice, a Windows Tablet running full Windows or an iPad.

If you buy Android you'll waste your money just like Gear Head. They're door stops.

But unless you're spending for a laptop replacement ie XPS example, it basically a toy

So go cheap as possible imo , with as much as you need

You cant go far wrong with a Galaxy Tab 3 8"

Fast, easy to put your videos and music on, pull out memory card copy across put back in.

I have an ipad since they came out, but the Galaxy is my travel companion.

Mine is a 4G set but a wifi only is well within your budget

But the general UI is not a patch on the IPad

(I have windows 8 running on a HP Elite pad)

Just the little things, like the keypad obscuring the Google search box - so you have to type blind

The user experience for web browsing is simply cr4p compared an IPad imo

I reckon I am twice as quick surfing, editing, posting, cutting and pasting on an iPad than the Windows tablet (both using touchscreen obviously)

I much prefer it to my iPad with no such problems.
