Title: Lidl £79 Offer - Versus 8GB Wi-Fi Touchtab 7V Dual Core Tablet
Post by: zirk on 25 April 2013, 15:25:53: One of the mini zirk's has decided he wants to pop out and buy one today, asked for my opinion and I said its probably a load of crap but then what do I know Im just Dad.

Thought I'd ask if anyone has one or similar and any views please. ;)

Post by: fastandy36 on 25 April 2013, 15:36:31: we took a chance and bought tablets for our kids for xmas gone from china, on eBay for £70 each.. they worked fine and even supported flash player, which meant we could stream live tv, and football, but they werent 'sturdy' enough for a 3 + 6 year old, and typically got broken.... Recently I bought a samsung one for myself, and its a tough little tablet, but doesnt support flash player, so no live football for me on it. To be honest, once its got wi-fi, and you can download from google play, it'll be fine. Usually if its from fidl, or mouldi, its gonna be an efficient, German product.

Post by: cnj on 25 April 2013, 17:27:16: lidl's quality, have always found quite good for the price, if it does what it says on the box for the price you want to pay then you can't go far wrong !

Must admit forgot about Bluetooth, that would be the killer for me.

Spend a little more and go for Nexus 7 :y

Someone in work uses the nexus 7, I have the I pad and I actually prefer the nexus.

Far more user friendly it just means apps are through google play :y

Post by: D on 25 April 2013, 21:58:21: Nexus 7. Made my ipad look overpriced and underpowered. In fact the only apple product in my house I sold was the ipad. I really like the current nexus line up. got a Nexus 4 phone as well.
