Estranged Reality Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I need a tablet for basic use - primarily web browsing, YouTube, and book reading. I specifically need one with access to the Google Play store apps (so Amazon Fire is out of the equation), because i use their music and book apps. Leaning towards this: https://www.amazon.com/Android-PixelMaster-TouchScreen-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B01FGCXUDU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1494189052&sr=1-2&keywords=asus+tablet ...but thought I'd see if anyone has a better recommendation or would steer me in a different direction?

-W.A.R- Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) You can put Google Play on a Amazon Fire by manually installing it. but i'd only recommend if you're looking for something cheap as its a bit too restrictive for my liking.

I'm pretty certain i bought that one for one of my Grandchildren for Xmas just gone, It's really good value and does everything he needs it for, music, games and youtube. Works as well as an iPad. I was lucky enough to get it on Amazon daily deals for cheaper than usual so i got him a case for it too. #reviewedbyGrandma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I would recommend https://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Google-7-Inch-Black-Tablet/dp/B00DVFLJDS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495408525&sr=8-3&keywords=nexus+7 more money sure but it is the best tablet i have seen at that price range. I own one and could not be happier with its performance for everything. If you read a lot I would purchase an ereader anything else will over time fuck your eyes up being backlit. An ereader doesn't. The Nexus 7 is loaded and they didn't cheap out on the components, it was issued by Google themselves and is killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Even though you can fuck with Fire Tabs, just get an Android. My recommendation would be to make sure you have more than a gig of RAM. The ASUS is probably a safe bet, I've had good luck with them. When my boss asked me to get us a tablet at work, I actually settled on a Fusion5. Off brand Chinese crap, right? Pleasantly surprised. Full size USB and HDMI out. https://www.amazon.com/Fusion5-10-6-Android-Tablet-Marshmallow/dp/B06XQM92B9?th=1&psc=1 Something to consider.
