E FUN Think you can t afford a tablet? Think again. E Fun just announced the, a 7-inch Android tablet priced at just $79. I know what you re thinking: At this price, it must be junk. For a decent entry-level tablet, you need to spend at least $139 on the likes of a Kindle Fire HD. Think again - again. On paper, at least, the Nextbook delivers a surprising amount of bang for the buck. In addition to a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, the tablet includes 16GB of storage (most sub-$100 models have just 8GB; some just half that much) and a microSD slot for expansion. Other surprising…

Apple was first to hit it big with tablets back in 2010, but Android wasn t far behind. Four years later, the company faces more competition from Android tablets than ever. So how do you decide? Here are three great reasons to choose an iPad Air or iPad Mini with Retina Display over their Android counterparts. 1. You want the best apps first. Android is catching up to Apple as far as having many of the best apps. But Apple’s App Store is still the first platform of choice for many developers. The latest and greatest are often found there before Android, such as the new Monument…

Instead of jumping ahead a full version number from 4.0 to 5.0 with Android this year, Google has wisely decided to slow down the new feature freight train just a little, instead expanding upon the solid foundation introduced with Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich last year. We saw the first version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) in the middle of 2012, and we ve now updated our review to cover the latest incarnation of the sugary treat - Android 4.2 - so feast your eyes on what the latest version of Google s OS has to offer. Although this decision may have more to do with slow adoption…

Samsung Electronics’ newest Android tablets might as well be called “the Galaxy Air” series. They are the company’s thinnest and lightest yet, and could offer an attractive alternative to Apple’s iPad Air 2. The Galaxy Tab S2 will go on sale starting next month. To improve over the previous generation, the company has sought to trim down the product, at the expense of taking a few fractions of an inch off the display screen. As a result, consumers will be getting two sizes, one at a 9.7-inch, the other at 8-inch. The larger tablet weighs 389 grams, while the smaller one comes…

With the arrival of the iPad Pro, the tech world is talking about enterprise tablets. Which model is best for you? 1 of 9 iPad shipments have tumbled since the first fiscal quarter of 2014, when the device peaked at 26.4 million units shipped. This fell to 10.9 million units during Apple s most recent fiscal third quarter, marking an 18% drop in devices sold from the prior year. Apple seems to hope its broader iPad lineup and engagement with an enterprise audience will help make the tablet relevant once more. But will it work? Apple isn t the only tech company with tablet troubles…

Check out our for more savings, and get a deal on the Amazon Fire HD below: The Amazon Fire is a 7-inch tablet that, even though a year old, remains one of Amazon s latest devices.

Tablets have rapidly emerged as one of the most in-demand personal electronics items. By providing the portability of a smartphone along with some of the more robust functionality users expect from a laptop, tablets make great productivity tools. Many business professionals who spend time outside of a traditional office setting find that tablets are the best choice for an on-the-go computing tool. Android, a mobile operating system (OS) from Internet giant Google, has several version iterations and includes many desirable features. Business professionals should get to know the…

Until recently, kid-friendly tablets have been held back by cripplingly slow hardware and half-hearted ecosystems built for children. The original Fuhu Nabi Kids Tablet was no exception. Fuhu has learned something the second time around, and has made great strides with its successor, the Nabi 2 ($199.99 list). Powered by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and preloaded with plenty of compelling children s content, the Nabi 2 is fast, responsive, and a joy to use. It bests the other kid-friendly tablets we ve tested, but it s also a great full-featured Android tablet that has…

Asus ZenPad 10 cheap tablet review The ZenPad 10 has a low price, a nice design, a UK keyboard, great sound, microSD support and okay battery life on its side, but it’s also slow and running old, bloated software. It can’t stand up to the best Android tablets, but at just under £200 it may well do the job. Let’s have a closer look at the Asus ZenPad 10 ZD300C. Also see: Best cheap tablets 2016. Asus ZenPad 10 review: Price and UK availability There are two variants of the Asus ZenPad 10. The Z300C is simply the tablet, while the ZD300C reviewed here comes with the AudioDock…

Both the Slate 8 and Slate 12 are running KitKat and include a handful of pre-installed HP apps. Though HP is marketing them as business-ready tablets, that s primarily because HP is ready to sell you an entire ecosystem of business accessories if you want them — otherwise, they re fairly standard tablets. The other standout feature of these tablets is that they re bundled with HP s new Duet Pen, which allows you to write on any surface and have that writing automatically appear on your tablet. The two tablets are fairly expensive for the Android world, with the Slate 8 selling…

I ve been salivating at the thought of getting a Nexus 7 for quite some time, as I really just wanted to test out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Do you remember when the 3DFX Voodoo Banshee video card came out, and it arrived with Half-Life: Day One? I was one of those people that literally rang every single retailer in my state (this was really pre-Internet) to get my hands on it. When I want something, I want it bad. This is how I felt with the Nexus 7. I didn t want a review sample of the Nexus 7, I wanted my own, so I purchased one last week and I have been having the time of my…

Amazon s new Fire HD 8 looks a lot like last year s Fire HD 8, but there are a few key differences, the biggest of which is the new lower price tag. Much lower, in fact: $90 or £90. (It s not available in Australia so far, but the US price converts to about AU$115.) By comparison, the similarly sized costs $399, £379 or AU$569 and the costs $269, £239 or AU$369. Both now start at 32GB capacities, but you could literally buy three or four Fire HD 8s for the price of once Mini. The previous generation Fire HD 8 started at $150 (£130 or AU$215). That model came with only 8GB of…
