Toshiba Excite 7.7 16GB - I can get it for about $350 with tax/shipped through a friend, and it seems like a pretty good choice in every department (screen particularly) except for support (locked bootloader with small dev community) So I slimmed down my options to the following (all under $400, which ideally is my limit after considering my uses and current financial standing):

I wouldn't mind the Toshiba Excite 10 or especially the 7.7, but the lack of support has me worried (although Toshiba seems good with support - granted, it took a while, but the Thrive 7, a tablet that sold poorly, still got an ICS update recently). The Sony Xperia Tablet S doesn't really appeal to me, but feel free to try and sell me on it, whenever it goes back on sale, since I don't know what it has over the competition.Īcer Iconia tablets don't appeal to me when ASUS seems to be the better option a majority of the time. And $600 is a lot for something when I already have a tablet that can do basically everything I want it to other than remote desktop gaming. Right now, I'm leaning toward a Note 10.1 16GB 3G since it can double as a phone, and the pen input would be nice (although no real use as I don't take handwritten notes outside of school and don't do any graphic design and whatnot), but for that same ~$600 I can pick up an ASUS Infinity 64GB or a 32GB plus keyboard dock. That being said, it doesn't have to be 1080p or have amazing viewing angles - basically as long as its not an utterly bad screen. Seeing how much they go for and all the accessories I have and recently purchased, I can easily get at least $300 for it, maybe as much as $400 if I'm lucky.Īnyway, I'm definitely looking for a powerful, quad-core tablet here, and I know the Nexus 7 is the go-to tablet to recommend, but I may want something a bit bigger in screen size (although the 32GB version at the $250 price sure is nice.). Unfortunately, the tablet (Toshiba Thrive 10" 32GB) isn't fast enough to play games adequately smooth (and I know its not my connection as same game/settings are much smoother on my Galaxy Nexus).

Tablet to replace my Toshiba Thrive 10"? So the topic was previously about getting rid if my phone and tablet for a Note 2, but after using Splashtop to play a desktop PC game on my tablet.I definitely want to keep one for the screen size.
