Anybody on here got an iPad or able to give an opinion on them? I know this is the phone thread but didn't wanna start a new thread for something trivial.

Basically I've been considering buying a tablet for about 6 months/a year. I have always been one of those anti Apple guys and swore they would never get a penny of the vast Benteke fortune, but the iPad mini with retina looks decent. Basically it's the full iPad Air, same specs but smaller in size and I wasn't looking at 10 inch tabs anyway, wanted the Nexus 7 originally but cos I have the Nexus 4 it feels too similar and I don't want my phone to feel redundant if I got the N7. So I don't think I will get that.

Tablet will be used mostly for the viewing of documentaries and films & the iPad mini looks better for that. Bit of browsing t'internet too. Don't need a 3G model as I've got my phone.

Basically from what I've read online and saw on reviews:

Internet browsing - equal
Build - iPad
Videos - iPad
Customisation - N7
Value for money - N7
Battery - iPad
Specs - N7 (I've also noticed Apple's products are not equal to contemporary rivals, the iPhone 5s has exactly the same spec as the Galaxy S2 which is 3 years older, all current flagship rivals being released with dual core/octa core processors)
Apps - iPad
Gaming - iPad
OS - Dunno, not used iOS but apparently iOS 7 is not as good as the previous version

Basically the iPad seems overpriced but better, N7 - best bang for buck 7 inch tab.

My wife has one and I use one for work. I'm not the kind of person who would buy a tablet simply because I don't see a lot of use for them in my life aside from my work, but that said I think that iPads work well, are easy to use, seem to hold a charge forever. So I'd recommend them.

The new OS is mostly fine, by the way, though I do think they've made the music and iBooks apps worse in it.

If you are anti apple then stick your ground and don't buy into the hype.

Also if you already have a nexus phone why not get the N7 so that you can sync everything up.

The battery might not be as long as an iPad but the charger charges the device so ****ing quickly. I even use the N7 charger to charge my S2 because of how quickly it charges devices.

I've had both an iPad and a Nexus 7 and I ended up selling the Nexus because besides reading, I found doing things on the Nexus 7 to be very hard. I think a tablet really does need to be 10" in order to be useful for other things. My first gen iPad is starting to get pretty dated but for the things I use it for (Netflix, ebooks, comics, basic browsing, etc.) it does the job just fine.

I'd honestly give the Microsoft Surface a look. You can attach a full keyboard to it and use it just like a laptop so it becomes far more portable and I have a feeling Windows 8 becomes bearable if you use it for what it was actually designed for.

You can connect a keyboard to an iPad as well. I have one for the one I use at work.

Doesn't the Microsoft Surface have that shitty Windows 8 on it? Or is that OS better on a tablet?

Windows 8 is far better on touch devices.

Okay, I've only used it on a computer. And as far as tablets go I've only tried iPad and Android.
