Hi,
I am planning to purchase a tablet for personal (me and my wife), office use (documents, emails, browsing) and kids educational use. We are not yet decided what
to get. There are some tablets from local companies like HCL for 10k. Then, there is samsung tab 2 p3100 tablet at 19.3k. And finally, we are looking at ipad 2 wifi only model that comes to around 21.5k during some offers... We plan to buy in 1 or 2 months time.
We want to keep cost down if possible. Obviously, the local makes are the cheaper of the three, but are there any models which are really good in terms of build quality, customer support, performance, etc. Good build quality is important for us because (3 year old) kids will be handling it. Personally, I am not fully convinced of going for brands like Micromax, iball, etc - the only bigger player in the Indian market is HCL but that has a lot of negative criticisms as well...
We are looking at the following usage:
1. For office use - to add prestige value when dealing with clients - adding diary (appointments), notes taking during meetings, etc. The ipad2 will add more prestige value than samsung tab2 even though it is older.
2. For personal use - browsing, adding reminders,for chatting etc.
3. For kids educational use - playing educational games strictly under adult supervision.
If the local models are not upto mark, I feel the ipad2 will be better than tab2 even though it is older model due to bigger screen and better integration of hardware, OS and apps... Please let me know your comments.
Please give your thoughts...
Thanks in advance,
Arun
