    The 10' is $5 cheaper than the 8'. Lol

    Is this good for browsing? (Eg speed/screen) I've bought cheap tablets in the past (Pendo) and they've been pretty awful, I'm not sure if I should just save my cash and get an iPad… (but yeah, if either of these are decent then I'd happily save the cash!)

    • Peace Maker on 17/05/2015 - 17:22

      I bought one for Mum less than a month ago. Pretty decent build quality. No speed issues. I have an iPad 4, and the I would happily use the Tab 4.

      I paid $289, which I thought was good, so this is a pretty good deal IMHO.

      I would honestly just go for an ipad if you don't need android features. While Android tabs are catching up (the galaxy tab s 8 and 10 were quite good), you're always going to encounter micro lags and such with browsing etc.

      In saying that, I own galaxy tab s 8.4" and it's the best android tablet I've had. I've only ever played with friend's ipads and they've always been the smoothest and slickest I must say.

        As an iPad and Android user of 10 inch tabs, I agree in part, but the price gulf is still pretty large. I agree that the cheap and nasty android tabs are not worth the money, but the Tab 4 is at the top end of android tabs.

        • nuchalis on 17/05/2015 - 17:47

          Awesome, thanks! Do you think the $139 Asus will have a bad price/usability tradeoff? (The Pendo was terrible, but this might be OK?)

        • murkywater on 17/05/2015 - 17:51

          Tab 4 is hardly "top end". More like mid-range at most.

          The high end is Galaxy Tab S, Xperia Tablet Z2/Z4, Nexus 9, etc.

        • Peace Maker on 17/05/2015 - 17:52

          @raven2000: Okay, mid top then.

        • iridiumstem on 17/05/2015 - 17:59
          +2

          @Peace Maker: It's a budget tablet, if you want to bring top end tablet, something like Tab S or Note Pro would fit the criteria. Something that's in between mid to top range would be something like TabPRO, which has less RAM than Tab S.

          Snapdragon 400 is not a mid-range SoC, it's used in budget phones. Since tablets are slightly behind phones in terms of the SoC, I think it may be considered as a mid-range, definitely not something that's close to top range though. Something like top to mid-range would have Snapdragon 600 at least, imo.

          As others have said, the Tab 4 is Samsung's low-end range.

          From Samsung:

          Low-end: Tab (insert number)
          Mid-high: Note (insert number)
          High: Tab S, Note Pro

        • iridiumstem on 17/05/2015 - 18:07
          +2

          @AXiS: Note and Note Pro are almost the same though, the only difference being the naming. Note 8.0 and Note 10.1 2014 was before Note Pro, Note Pro 12.2 is pretty much similar to Note 10.1 2014 in terms of spec.

          Samsung naming team should get fired for causing this much confusion.

          Budget tablet is the Tab line (They might've changed the naming around, judging from Tab A and Tab A with S-pen)
          Mid-range I think should be TabPRO (since it does have less RAM and less software support at the moment, compared to Tab S)
          High end tablets are Note tablets and Tab S line.

          @AznMitch: I base my comments comparing it to an iPad 4 (yep, I know it's getting old now) and the Tab 4. Doing all the normal stuff like watching video, browsing, games, I think it performed pretty well. There was no area where I feel I wanted more like increased screen resolution, extra mega pixels on the camera etc.

          I'm not in such a hurry and so micro lags are hardly going to be an issue for my Web browsing.

        • iridiumstem on 17/05/2015 - 19:26

          @Peace Maker: It's more of classification thing. Tab series is a budget tablet if you look at other tablets by Samsung and Android tablets in general and Samsung tend to not give it a lot of software support on them. Though, for personal usage, I guess there are things that Tab series would do fine in.

          @nuchalis: my suggestion is get an android tablet which has at least 2GB of ram.

        • nuchalis on 18/05/2015 - 08:07

          @fchis: Thanks! Do you happen to have a particular recommendation? There's so many!

        I'm not so sure that ipads are the smoothest. My ipad 2 has gotten really slow lately, in all apps including web browsing. Don't know if it was due to an iOS upgrade. I have mid-level Android and Windows tablets that were comparable in speed but are now much faster (both Asus). Also for the websites I visit I find Chrome and IE11 to be much more stable than Safari.

        • doubleclutching on 17/05/2015 - 18:15
          +2

          I'd say that's due to the fact that the iPad 2 was released in 2011 and is outdated compared to newer tablets.

          The worst thing I did to my ipad 2 was update. When from brisk to a slug in a click. I also have an ASUS Memo 8, now that thing lags.

        • fchis on 17/05/2015 - 22:43

          @ilikeit: I understand the frustration so I sold my memo 8. now waiting for my Chuwi VI8. Im sick and tired of a laggy tablet.

    • ChrisLevo on 18/05/2015 - 10:30

      I have the Samsung, as well as a couple of smaller tablets.

      The Samsung is my go-to browser if I can't be bothered to turn on the PC or laptop, and it functions very well as a browser.
      The screen is perfectly fine for casual browsing, and I really have not noticed any lag.

      I also use it daily to read e-books (with FB Reader), and it's an absolute star for that.
      Great resolution, really quick page changes and more than enough storage room for me.

      It's streets ahead of the (not much) cheaper Chines eBay jobs.

      I also paid more than $244, IIRC.

    1.5GB RAM, not sure it is enough.

  • slackme on 17/05/2015 - 18:47

    It charges $5.95 for delivery.

      That's weird it's free for me, where do you live?

      • slackme on 17/05/2015 - 18:54

        When I used PayPal, it added delivery cost. If I use account it is free. I don't have a account though.

        • TRENT86 on 17/05/2015 - 21:53

    We bought this tablet last year for $249 and very happy with it. We are not power users by any means, gets used every day, it's just used for web browsing, fb and viewing media. Having the microsd expansion has come in very handy when we have been away. It even survived a tumble from the couch when bubz knocked it over. Big thumbs up here.

  • auna on 18/05/2015 - 10:51

    I love Samsung but this Tablet is clearly not very good. Not when I am staring at a 1440p 5.7" screen. It's not even AMOLED and is TFT. There is no S-Pen either.

    What is strange about Android Tablets is that low powered or not there is still problems and lag that has not been overcome to a level that splurging will fix it. What this means is that the main difference I see is gaming performance (Really high ones struggle) and general responsiveness multi tasking.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2015 - 14:50

      This isn't a 1440p 5.7" screen homes

  • juzdownunder on 18/05/2015 - 14:34

    "Unavailable online", so should delivery be removed from the title? All my local stores are showing "Call to confirm" for stock.

  • Storm on 18/05/2015 - 14:51

    Both tabs (Samsung Galaxy and Asus Transformer) have similar specs. Both have low resolution screens (250ppi minimum is recommended and these are both 144ppi):

    http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Asus-Transformer-Pa…

    http://www.colourmylearning.com/2014/11/top-12-best-budget-1…

    http://au.pcmag.com/asus-transformer-pad-tf103c/12725/review…

    Out of these two, I'd go the Asus as it's $100 cheaper for similar specs.

    But, how do these compare to some of the more decent (but still budget) new Chinese tablets??

    • iridiumstem on 18/05/2015 - 16:39

      You mean the ones that use baytrail CPU? Those are better in performance, at least in the areas of benchmark scores, most baytrail CPUs used in those cheap Chinese tablets are comparable to Snapdragon 600~800. They usually have 2GB RAM as well. Most of them come as a dual OS tablet (with Windows and Android), which is a plus as well. At the very very least, they are almost always better than this on paper (so anything that's not on paper, like build quality, colour accuracy, support, optimisation etc etc, I cannot really say)

    • Sunford on 18/05/2015 - 19:13

      To me looks lots of difference - phone functionality, weight, TFT screen, front and back camera, geo tagging, processor, system memory, speakers and many more…I would go for Galaxy

  • Kenb0 on 18/05/2015 - 15:40

    I got one just to see what Android devices are capable of. Only ever had IOS devices, so reckon this will be a good cheap budget introduction.

  • Storm on 18/05/2015 - 15:47

    Apparently, due to the Intel chipset, the Asus Transformer does not have the best android app compatibility (hence some crashes). So may not be the best intro to Android.

    Personally, after having an iPad 3 for years, I HATE iTunes. Android is SO much easier to put files on.
