I am looking to buy my son (13) a tablet for his birthday he uses my work ipad at the moment but I don't really want to buy into apple!!
we use windows 10 at home so something compatible but he wants an Android os cos there are more games apparently!
Anyone any ideas or recommendations up to about £150 really
The choice is just to big and bewildering
TIA

Hudl from Tesco is good value

iPad mini 16gb used from CEX is £172 grade A, which is boxed, with accessories, only minor cosmetic marks. And (importantly) a 1 yr warranty 

Potential option depending on how much he wants an apple vs "something new".

The cheaper Android will all be hampered in some way.

Apple expensive new. In that price range, 2nd hand will be getting EOSL with no further security updates.

Surface expensive, and probably still a bit too niche at the moment.


You'll need to sit down at work out exactly where you are prepared to compromise, sorry.


(And this is why I don't have a modern tablet, just a couple of HP ones when the SAP idiot buggered up HP, and they sold them to staff cheap - obviously now WebOS is dead, they now run Android...  ...but I still never use them)

Have a look at a Lenovo, I haven't got one, but a friend has, I was quite impressed.

It was running Android.

Daughter gave me a Time2 android tablet a few weeks ago, think it was around £80. Worked fine at their place but i couldn,t get it to connect at mine. also now my Ipad has dropped off my wifi but laptop still fine. Thinking of getting a new router.

I did look at those but a bit more than I wanted to pay really, but on the maybe list.

I should also say he would like a 10  inch (wouldn't we all) oo eer

Tesco started off well with the Hudl2, it's a good device. But screwed it up really, I think because Tesco canned the project.

They have started rolling out the 5.0 Lollypop update to the Hudl2's but they seriously cocked up the implementation, I think only around 75% of the Hudl2's will actually get it. As they will stop the rollout because they basically shut down the entire team.

That's as good as any for around that price. You won't find that much difference betweenany of the ones running android, as long as they are modern and not dirt cheap.
