Recommend a tablet PC please

[John Young]

I would like a Tablet PC so I can show my portfolio to customers and maybe browse the web a bit on it (not as important as the photos)

I have seen all the craziness :shrug: with the HP Touchpad but to be honest I don't care about make etc as long as it has a good screen resolution

I have seen loads around and I am totally lost. I want to spend under £200

What about this one

Any help appreciated

I've no idea if it can be used as a photo gallery and it's only a 7" screen, but launched today the Amazon Kindle Fire looks VERY promising at £130.

Thanks, yeah but there is a lot that it does not have plus I would prefer a 10" screen

I was looking at THIS with the android it comes with its not great but people say its easy to upgrade to android 3 which makes it excellent and good alternative to an ipad and all for £160

Have heard good reviews of the Hannspad after you put on a custom rom. I think on ebay they had some refurbished ones for about £140 with the 12 month warranty.

I'd be very wary of that Amazon one, it seems to have an awful lot for very little money, but one thing it's lacking is a capacitive multitouch screen (important if you want to show off photos). Of the two the Hanspad seems the better value even though it offers less. One downside is the battery, 3500mah is not great for a pad that size and I'd expect 3-4 hours use max out of it.
Trouble is for less than two hundred pounds you're not going to get much, consider that most branded tablets that size are more than double the price.

Yeah I think I might go for the Hannspad, in reviews they say you should get 8 hours use from it and its a capacitive screen.

I reckon this would be better than the HP Touchpad as for one its cheaper, you can actually buy one and its got plenty of support (Android)
