can anyone recommend a better/cheaper tablet(don't really want anything under A4 size) and maybe a better ssd for the same price or cheaper

*im looking at you stulid and rjc*

Just looked at some reveiws of the Samsung, its performance is just as good as the rest(was the 256GB model) so if you wanted something in stock, and that you would struggle to tell the difference in speeds, then this will save a £10 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-047-OC&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

Agility are end of life, and they probably have a crap old Garbage collection algorithm.

completely forgot about the new Crucial - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-008-CR&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

Yes. New tech plus sata 3. Delayed to the end of the month/begining of May due to them not being able to meet demand. It would be nice if OCUK put the new date up like other retailers have.

The new Vertex 3 is even faster although more expensive.

i don't think the date matters as much to me, as long as it comes by june, because thats when i will be ordering

I think that you should ask in the monitor forum (if you havn't already) about that monitor.

You are looking at the Iiyama ProLite E2410HDSD for £144
Iiyama do a Prolite E2473HDS for £168

One would assume that the latter is better.

If you look at the OcUK 24" you will notice that it is an E2473HDS only it costs £135. The only difference is the warranty being 1 year as opposed to 3.

i think i will take the extra 2 years warranty over a £9 difference, thanks for the suggestion though

Fair enough, but it is also a different monitor, so could be better and cheaper.

tablets, you get what you pay for. Using a wacom intuos 4 large atm and its heaven.

stick with the wacom brand in my opinion.
