| 1359959 | 2013-11-15 23:15:00 | Hi all, sister is after a 10 or 11.1" tablet, it's primary use will be for displaying sheet music. Ideally an Android tablet, but after looking around a lot of the Windows 8 tablets seem to be better value. The main issue I see is the screen - a lot of the windows tablets only have a 1280*800 resolution, which I imagine would be a bit on the small size. www.pbtech.co.nz That's the best I've come up with - Price isn't a biggie at this stage (anything under 1k) but she's happy to spend money to get the right one. In my mind the main criteria would be high resolution screen (1080p or over) and a very good PPI (say over 220?) Interested to hear others thoughts on the best thing for the job, especially if anyone is using a tablet for this purpose. Maybe a Nexus 10? Can we get the new one in NZ yet? Thanks! |

Or I got an e-mail yesterday with this on it www.pp.co.nz name brand, super high res, quad core tegra - sounds great but I've never seen one in person. Only 1yr warranty though. Personally I own a Nexus 7 and a Transformer TF300T and both are great, the nexus is a bit smoother overall. |

| 1359961 | 2013-11-16 06:20:00 | must agree with dugimodo. I too own the tf300t and it has served me well for about a year now. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1359962 | 2013-11-16 10:59:00 | That toshiba had some so so reviews, pay to read up before picking that one. I'm a little disappointed, just tried antutu to benchmark my tablets and phone and the phone wins, followed by the nexus with the TF300t trailing along behind - guess which one cost the most. I guess it is also the oldest of them. | dugimodo (138) | ||

The new iPads have the highest screen resolution followed by the Android tablets. |

| 1359966 | 2013-11-17 10:20:00 | the performance in tablets has certainly increased quite a bit since the tf300t. If its the quality of the screen you want i woud go with an iPad, it has one of the best pixel densitys and a good quality LCD with none of the crazy over saturation that some android devices have. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1359967 | 2013-11-17 18:56:00 | Ummm Nexus 10 is 300ppi, iPad is 265ppi... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1359968 | 2013-11-17 19:07:00 | The toshiba I linked is 300ppi as well, may have some issues according to reviews but the screen isn't one of them. | dugimodo (138) | ||
