Which Tablet Should I Go For? by Nobody: 8:51am On Jun 29, 2013
I want to buy an affordable Tablet (not more than #100,000) and these are the basic features I would love it to have;

Long battery life, not less than 6hrs

Sim Card Use

Making and receiving of calls without problems

Memory card use

Compatibility with Phones and computers

Reliable customer care service in Lagos

Good RAM of about 4GB

Effortless streaming of videos without buffering

Camera Mega Pixel of 5-8MP; front and back camera

Compatibility with a keyboard case

Generally, a Tablet I can use to surf the internet, watch/stream movies online without problems, take high quality pictures, skype etc. Not really for any "serious" work. I'm thinking towards Android, but I would love to get first hand experience from people that have used or still use any of these Tablets.

Can anyone here recommend one for me with the specifications and price? And also the best affordable network (GLO, MTN, ZAIN, ETISALAT) to go with it.

No Marketers please. Just people with first hand experience. Thanks.

Go for a note 2 10.1 or 8 inches. The highest RAM you can get is 2 with a 5mp camera

Perhaps the Samsung Note is a good choice, my problem with it is that it doesn't have a regular USB port. You won't be able to directly transfer content from a flash drive.

If you weren't particularly bent on android I would have recommended the Lenovo Thinkpad 2. It has mobile broadband, USB ports(3.0 I think) and runs on Windows 8, an OS that many desktop users are familiar with. Its practically a full PC in tablet form. Problem though is its steep $800 price. sad

^^^ Thanks a lot for that info. Didn't know Samsung note doesn't have regular USB port. That is something I really can't do without. But Bros, that your $800 eeeehh. . . lipsrsealed grin

Please, can u recommend any other affordable one with a USB port? Thanks again.
Re: Which Tablet Should I Go For? by Bawss1(m): 7:57pm On Jun 30, 2013
There is the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity. In addition to the features you listed it has a USB port. Price is less than the Thinkpad 2 - somewhere around $400-$500, i.e still within your 100K budget

EDITED

The Dell latitude is a good tablet for a good buy. Also it is important to get authentic Dell tablets and laptops, and with the Jumia/Dell partnership you can be rest assured to get the best Dell laptops and tablets.
Re: Which Tablet Should I Go For? by Bawss1(m): 9:37pm On Jul 03, 2013

That's a weak sales pitch right there. Provide reasons why people should go for Dell tablets. What are its features, what OS does it run on, stuff like that and not because of some partnership with Jumia.

That is quite affordable. Will see if I can get it here in Nigeria. Does Motorola have any customer service here in Nigeria?

I don't know if they have. I think GT card can pay on Amazon. If you have one, you can use for the payment also if you have a friend to ship to in US. Amazon do not ship electronics to Nigeria.

When you are ready, maybe we can find a way around it on how you can get it.
