Her indoors wants her own laptop, but she only does emails & web browsing, thought this should do the job

I have not tried the cheap ones. The reviews are mixed. But I would invest the £50 towards a Nexus 7.

I have got one of those (the Mk. I) and it is excellent.

The Nexus 7 16GB is £160 at Argos. Not sure whether Mk I or MK II.

Read this review on the Avoca.

It does not come out well, but, for £50, you don't expect ipad quality.

Or a Kindle fire HD.16gb is the same price £159.

Check out the hudl from tesco. Its very well specced (similar to the mark 1 nexus 7) and £120. If you have club card points then you can get 2 for 1 vouchers and get it for £60.

Have you got a hudl nickjb? Joe was enquiring about them the other day.
Just checked out Curry's and they have a Kindle Fire Hd 32gb for £139.

Got to admit that's a cracking price and the Kindle's not a bad piece of kit either.

32GB as well.

I suppose they are all much of a muchness and its down to your budget, at least no one as mentioned the over inflated fruit thing.

 

[securespark]

I might have done....

but, for £50, you don't expect ipad quality.

I shall self-flagellate before bed. Will you forgive me?

 

[enyam]

I missed that,they are no better though.

Seems to be a few budget tablets being released at the mo, as well as the tesco one asda and argos have just announced theirs

If you want a budget tablet, maybe to do some 'on the move' work stuff like me then these are ideal

you'd be hard pushed to beat this one:

Expandable memory and a reasonable camera too...

You can get 10inch models cheaper than that with better spec.
Trouble with most of the cheapies is a high failure rate when it comes to charging, most use cheap chinese chargers and ports causing early failure.

Don't forget that many of the cheaper ones will probably never get OS updates.

 

[crank39]

Yes there is that I suppose, galaxy nexus or Samsung it is then
