Size Matters
Whether you need it for the office or for movies on the go, size does matter. You mainly have 2 options out there, the 10 and 7 inch ranges. The 7 inch ranges are pocket size, easy to carry around, conceal, hold in one hand and are still capable of finishing up that last minute presentation you forgot on the train to work. These are also its limits; the 10 inch versions provide a bigger screen for media and movies in addition to allowing for a larger onscreen keyboard, those extra 3 inches turns a tablet into in effective laptop replacement with a keyboard that makes touch typing a breeze.
"7 inch for leisure, 10 inch for professionals is a good route to take."
A Tablet Never Forgets
Memory is paramount in buying a tablet, worst case scenario is you buy and amazing looking 10 inch tablet for watching movies in high definition on the go only to find it doesn't have enough memory to hold a digital blue-ray. Most tablets come with 16 to 32 GB memory; both are very good and are good buys.
"As a rule of thumb don't go for 8GB versions, it's worth forking out a bit more for a little more memory."
Ice Creams Sweet, but not as Jellybeans
Android systems all have names, generally the higher the number the better the system because it's more update. Basically the difference between Android system 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Android System 4.1 (Jellybean) is the different between Windows Vista and Windows 7. Going into 2013 both are good but if you want access to the most up to date apps on the market, you're going to need that latest system.
"Don't bother with anything under Android 4.0, if you are to buy a 4.0 model, check out if it's capable of updates to 4.1."
Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
With better deals being offered on the internet most people go straight for the PayPal option. With a tablet this is a terrible idea, find something you like and head off into your local electronics store before you buy it online. Any electronics shop worth its salt will have a few tablets on show for you to get hands on with.
"Ask a few questions as well and who knows you might even be able to get a better package in store if you're lucky."
