Tablet Clearance, which would you choose and why?

Are these still worth it?

Galaxy Note 2014 16GB - £120

Xperia Z2 tablet 16GB - £160

Which would you go for?

Really? nobody has an opinion on this?

Good prices for both. Are they new?

I'd go for the z2.

I don't think so, but they are both boxed and packaging looks as good as new, plus it's John Lewis so quality should still be good.

another vote for the z2.

Went with the Z2 and got them down to £140, it looks brand new but was returned as unwanted apparently.

Can't see any issues, cleaned up quite nicely with a micro fiber cloth so quite pleased.

Nexus 9 is down to £200 on Argos and Amazon.

I'd go with the Note. Have a 12.2 here and tempted to get the smaller one for out and about.

It's been down to £200 for a while now, I will be using the tablet for video, light gaming, some surfing and controlling my desktop remotely, so the 4:3 ratio is not going to work for me.

Don't really get why that would appeal to anyone to be honest.

I was put off by the high resolution display, Exynos 5420 and it's weak GPU, the weight and the fact touchwiz on tablets looks even worse than on phones.

Because it's a better ratio for doing things other than what you've listed, maybe? :rolleyes:

I guess if all you use your tablet for is reading books and comics then I guess it's perfect.

It better for web browsing too IMO.

Not sure about that, I quite like browsing web sites in landscape, especially with the navigation bar gone in full screen.

Having the whole screen display on a 9" display is hardly ideal, or good for my eyes.

Each to their own I guess
