Im asking for a dad Who is buying it for a boy of about 11, I know they arnt GREAT tablets, but for his age, and price, but their does seem to be a choice, just wondered if anyone had an idea of the BEST one in or around that price range.
 
Refurbished Advent Vega definitely, a great tablet when it was £200, now it's £130 you can't do much better. Put Honeycomb on there and you've got a nice little tablet.
 
Apart from the screen viewing angles, I can't fault my Advent Vega. Decent mod community behind it, really gives the device some value.
Vegacomb and some of the updates make it great to use, battery life is decent and performance seems more than adequate. Until the next line of Android tablets come out, I'll be sticking with this.

If you really want a budget tablet, there aren't too many other options.
 
I would agree with that about the Vega. For me though, I felt the screen was so bad, it put me off using it at all :(
 
No idea about tablets so no idea if they're any good or not - but but I saw HMV selling arcos 101's for £100 (from £249)

:confused:

The Vega's viewing angles where so bad, one part of the screen that was perpendicular was fine but the top or bottom would look odd because they were at a slight angle.
 
I think the main problem around viewing angles becomes apparent when using Portrait.....certainly that seems to be the concern with the Vega ?
 
ipod touch 4th gen at £100 (used/refurbished) is much better.

might as well get a mobile phone then? only advantage of a tablet over a mobile phone is a bigger screen so doho he wants a bigger screen not 3.5" off "goodness"
