Reply to: Question for the experts: Which Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

[Le Rosbif]

Evening All,

I want to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the Mrs, obviously having a Samsung Galaxy SII myself and enjoying the benefits of a more open platform, shockwave flash, and not being tied to ITunes I won't be buying any Apple products.

But I digress, back to the question,

there seem to be so many Galaxy Tabs, 7300, 7310, 7500, 7510 etc etc

which one is the latest and bestest ?

Thanks experts,

Oh yeah, I need the answer asap like ja

Asus Transformer Prime

I had a good look through them in the shop the other day. Galaxy tab feels the most like an ipad, the asus one (TF101, not the new one) is OK but a bit plasticy, the lenovo K1 felt cheap. the Acer Iconia one was actually cheap so might be worth considering if cost is a factor.

looks good

have you got it ? do you recommend it ?

Milan.

Yes I have. It's running ICS with absolutely no isses and is very quick. Build quality is top class. Nice metal case. I got the darker one.

This does look like a sweet piece of kit and certainly fills the void that was worrying me about getting a tablet. Will be ordering one of these soon.

my thoughts too

I really fancy the Asus myself, but no 3G is a problem.

Sorry I can't help on what galaxy to buy - I am very interested in that myself so please let us know what you choose and why.

Or get a 5 incher and be Jack of all trades.

Why get the Galaxypad over the Asus Transformer Prime? I've got a Prime and would highly recommend. Has a proper keyboard as well. It's replaced my laptop as well as being a tablet.

Anyone bought the new iPad? I went into an aPplestore on Saturday to have a look and wasn't sure if I was looking at the newer one or not. I assume it was, but was hoping to be impressed by the screen resolution, but wasn't.

Following antisheep is just the same as following sheep.

Buy the best thing that does what you want it to do that you can afford. The brand is irrelevant.

I buy Apple goods because they're the absolute best for my requirements. Your requirements may vary. For example, I have friends who feel that Free Software is a moral imperative and will not use anything that fails to comply with the GPL; that is their prerogative, and I would not insult them by suggesting they obtain either an iOS or Windows 8 device.

If you are, however, sane and reasonable and are buying this device for a non-techie partner: get them an iPad. If you don't you'll suffer in the short, medium, and long run. To a normal person, being able to recompile the kernel is irrelevant compared to an inability to run some silly gubbins that all their friends are running on their iPads.

EDIT: oh, and that silly Flash stuff? Last year's flash in the pan. Adobe killed it; they realised they couldn't make it work. It's no longer supported on devices. Let it go.

Flash = unstable mess.

Didn't apple report that 44% of all software crashes on a mac were directly related to flash.

Which proves what?

I suggest the Andromeda Galaxy. Mind you, not as portable as the ones you've mentioned and most certainly the oldest!
