My mum wants to buy my dad a 7-9" wi-fi tablet for Christmas but I have no idea which one is best in this price range. Can anyone please offer their advice here? Thanks.

Nexus 7

Nexus 7.

You get the idea

Be sure to get the 2013 model.

Ok, thanks guys that's pretty conclusive lol.

Also, as far as larger tablets go what is the Nexus 10 like?

A speak and spell..

(N7 2013).

I am late to the party but I have a N10 on it's way to me. Don't get me wrong the N7 is great but the 7" screen size is annoyingly small over extended periods of use, it feels not a million miles away from the size of my N5 screen. I took my N7 on holiday a few times and there it absolutely shines in this respect, it's the perfect size. But else where I crave a 10" display. Viewing PDFs on the N7 at 100% is not recommended!!

I believe the N10 is still a very capable device and recently got the Kit Kat update, others will step in here!

N10 is likey to be replaced soon. Can be had for £235 now. I am using it now and love it. I have the nexus 5 and nexus 7. All are great

N7! Getting the N5 Cos of this tablet being so good

Never being one to follow the crowd

Errrr...Nexus 7

(it's my first tablet and I love it)

_Jimlad_ · 9 Dec 2013 at 07:48

Its great. The nexus 7 is the only tablet I recommend andriod wise. Hate to say it but after that I flip to the dark side and say iPad mini

Save yourself £70 and get a hudl, perfect the parents.

snitcher · 9 Dec 2013 at 09:49

there was a samsung 7 inch tab for 99 on amazon recently.

DIABLO · 9 Dec 2013 at 10:09

The Hudl is a decent buy as well and cheaper just don't bank on getting any updates for it though.

_Jimlad_ · 9 Dec 2013 at 10:25

Nexus7 if you can afford. Hudl if not. Some of these other ones come with so much bloat crap it confuses the elderly

emu · 9 Dec 2013 at 13:35

hudl can be purchased for 99 pounds

9 inch screen great res and good speakers

battery life is also very very good

hudl is not 9" dude

it's like you are adding a couple of inches on.... done that before

Nor is it anything like the specs of a Nexus 7, nor will it have the same level of support! They're 2 very different tablets in 2 different budgets.

£100 to spend - Hudl
£200 to spend - Nexus 7.

Simian · 9 Dec 2013 at 15:49

Hudl is more like the 2012 (1st Gen) Nexus 7..

Which is still a nice tablet (pats 2012 Nexus 7 currently rockin' the KitKat)

Unicorn · 9 Dec 2013 at 15:55

I have 1st gen nexus 7 still running KitKat and its still an all powerful tablet i havn't seen the full potential of yet
