Thinking of buying Yve a tablet - to provide an alternative to her laptop. Mainly, surfing the web, skype, looking at photos etc.

The Samsung Galaxy Pro 10.1 seems to get fairly good write ups - do not like Apple products - suppose ideally max £250 but happy to go to £350 for the right product. Any thoughts?

I would have said an iPad. But it's Apple so you rule it out.

Gill has a Kindle (the sort that is a tablet rather than just an e-reader) but she doesn't use it a lot. When she does, it's for the e-book element or watching Lovefilm stuff (except the latter is in the past now, as we don't subscribe any more!)

My mum has an iPad, which she hardly ever uses. When I look stuff up on it for her, must say it's a pain when you are used to Windows,plus typing anything is a nightmare!

I have a Galaxy S Tab which is very good. Smaller screen than the iPad but fits in my hand nice and not heavy (I have an old iPad). Had some issues with quick discharging when bought but a few discharges and full charges later it performs well. However it was irritating at the time plus there's lots of people on the net with the same gripe. I did wonder if I had a duff one!
