Hi all, I'm wanting to buy my older sister a tablet device. I've never owned a tablet device before and neither has she so I don't know what I'm looking for.
I just want a good bang for the buck tablet.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that my sister has never used a PC/tablet/iPod before! With this in mind, which is the easiest OS to use? Is Android easy to use?
Probably the Nexus 7 (2013).
I'd definitely go Nexus 7. I bought a refurbished 2012 model from Centralfield and absolutely love it. I paid $129 for the 16GB model, that's currently out of stock but you can still get the 32GB model for $159.
Nexus 7, Sero 7 pro or Acer Iconia A1. Also, any operating (windows, android, ios)?
Everybody above is recommending the excellent Asus/Google Nexus 7, but given that OP is apparently a pensioner and is looking for a tablet for an older sister, a 10-inch screen is probably a better idea than a 7-inch. Those of us north of 60 don't have the eyesight that we used to, unfortunately.
I'd suggest the 10-inch Asus MeMO Pad FHD, which will likely cost $350-400.
If you're a costco member, you can get it for $280 at the moment.
And if you're looking for a Win 8 tablet, there is the ASUS Vivo 400 (64 GB) for $299

Thanks for your replies guys!

There's not much of a learning curve for modern mobile OS's these days. An Android device is just as easy to use as an Apple device.
How much is your budget?
The Asus Nexus 7 is probably the best all round device. Current best price is $289 from The Good Guys (or pricematch OW).
