I started out with a Sony 10" tablet, which was nice. I then bought an Asus Zenpad 8" for use as an in car navigation screen (which I never got working). However the Asus was an all round nice bit of kit so I ended up using that as a daily tablet because it was faster than the Sony, more portable, and also had very good music capabilities.
A while back the Asus suddenly failed, displaying what I assume is the backlight without any content on the screen. Can't be arsed to take it apart and try to fix it. I suspect the chance of success may be fairly low anyway.
So I'm looking at a new 8-10" tablet. Turns out this is not easy.
Requirements:
Full HD (or better) screen. SIM card support (to avoid relying on phone as a hotspot).
Would like SDXC card support.
Budget - lets keep it to 3 figures, eh, lads!
From initial searching there seem to be loads of no name Android tablets around the £100 mark which have SIM cards. Are these now mature enough to be worth a punt?
Some nice Samsung tablets, but pricey.
Some nice Apple tablets, and the lower end seem affordable, but I've never used Apple kit (at least, not this century) so I don't know if what I don't know will come back to bite me.
Any experience and recommendations welcome.
Cheers
