What do you guys think of this tablet?

[chickibum]

Im looking for a cheapish tablet, trying to keep it at $250 and under, its important that it have an sd slot, I don't care too much about size.

I found this deal on kijiji, but I've never heard of the brand so I'm worried about reliability and if its actually a good deal.

Or would I be better with the ebay Xoom deal?

And I'm also considering the Acer Iconia a100.

Would really appreciate everyone's thoughts on which is best. Thanks :)

If you don't care about size, why not go with a used Nexus 7?
If you do care about size, you can go with a Window N101 form Aliexpress, safe and fast shipping, you don't release the money until you get the tablet.

The N101 has a dual core that is as fast as a Tegra 3 in real life and is 10.1". The cost is about $200 with $30 3-7 day shipping.

If you go for kijiji then look for a nexus 7

get a Lenovo K1" ...you can find them cheap and now upgrades to ICS

I wanted the Nexus 7 but I thought it doesnt have an Sd slot? Thanks for the other suggestions guys, I'll look into those

That N101 looks pretty good, im just worried about it breaking, and what's the chances of it getting any updates? Ugh I don't know what to get, I'm so tempted to buy now lol

Edit again: they use UPS :(

You can setup the nexus 7 in USB Host Mode and use the USB connector to mount an SD card, USB drive, USB Hub. Only problem is it isnt discrete like a mSD slot.

rooted is required.

If you don't mind a demo unit and a bit older hardware I'd highly recommend you look at the Motorola Xoom in thread below. You can set it up to run pure jellybean 4.1.1 just like the nexus. You get a well made machine, bigger screen, 2 cameras. Best of all, with it on 4.1.1 you now have a 'Google experience device', that means you get os updates as soon as they are released. No waiting :-)

I'm almost ready to click buy it now on the xoom. There's just so many choices I cant decide :( and now im trying to figure out if I should get one with 3/4g as I can get a sim and data plan for $10 a month. So confused lol

The N101 just came out a month ago. The same company has the N90 which is about 8 months old? They just released Jellybean for the N90, so chances the N101 gets updates is really high.

Apparently the build quality is good, it has aluminum back and all that stuff, I think its 32GB N101 for like $230 with shipping in

Oh yea the Xoom is not bad, and for the price too but just remember that the processor they use RK3066 is way faster than the Tegra 2, although a Tegra 2 should be enough for your needs

[chickibum]

The only thing that stopped me from getting the n101 was that they ship UPS. The $230 is great, but after UPS adds all their fees it'll end up being like 350 or something

I don't need a lot on the tablet, I dont play many games anything, just surfing and basic stuff
