| 1359970 | 2013-11-17 20:20:00 | Thanks guys - in this situation I imagine PPI is far more important that outright resolution, it seems well over 1080P is standard now in the higher end tablets so that's fine. The 'Retina' display is nothing fancy anymore, it looks like there are quite a few Android tablets with at least as good of a screen. No one in my family will touch an Apple device (trained them well). :p Yeah I love the Nexus line, the Nexus 10 screen is gorgeous! :D pricespy.co.nz Thanks Chill. Girlfriend has the old Nexus 7, that's an awesome tablet. I like the look of the Nexus 10, sister prefers the Galaxy Note 10.1 (www.pbtech.co.nz) (seems more square, would probably sit on a music stand better?) As I haven't actually seen either device in the flesh it's a bit hard to comment on that. The specs on that look very similar to what the new Nexus 10 is supposedly going to have. The price cettainly jumps up over the Nexus. I'm keen to see the new Nexus 10 when it comes out (Next week in the states I think?) I personally really dislike Samsung's 'overlay' for android, vanilla is much much nicer. As well as getting updates sooner etc too. The toshiba I linked is 300ppi as well, may have some issues according to reviews but the screen isn't one of them. Thanks Dugi, I did see that, it looks very nice. Will certainly keep it in mind, I've always been a Toshiba fan. |

When it comes to apple products you can usually just asume stuff will work whereas with my android tablet there are constant hiccups. And you also have a Nexus tablet? I wouldn't think so, or you wouldn't be saying that... "User Friendly" is also incredibly subjective. Case in point my mum wanted to give me a couple of photos she'd taken to put up on a projector screen. No easy way for her to get them to me, she spent over half an hour trying to figure it out. She re-takes the photos on my dads Nexus 4. Taps the share button on the photos in the gallery, and instantly can either email it, Hangout it, G+ it and more to me... User friendly... sure... The 'Retina' display is nothing fancy anymore, it looks like there are quite a few Android tablets with at least as good of a screen. Yeah the straight size helps too when you're playing music I'd imagine you wanna be a little more than 30cm away from it No one in my family will touch an Apple device (trained them well). :p Yeeeeah I'm a big fan of the Macbooks though, you can't beat those laptops. iOS still bugs me but I dual boot Win7 on my MBP. (seems more square, would probably sit on a music stand better?) I personally really dislike Samsung's 'overlay' for android, vanilla is much much nicer. As well as getting updates sooner etc too. Can't comment on a square device standing better, though an A4 page isn't square and it's been used by musicians for decades so probably a non-issue really :p Definitely not a fan of Samsungs TouchWiz either. Especially given Kitkat is already out on N10, it's great! Manually kicked off my dads N10 within an hour of it being released, upgrade was dead easy and there's a lot of small subtle improvements. Even on the current N10 though it's *fast*!! Thanks Dugi, I did see that, it looks very nice. Will certainly keep it in mind, I've always been a Toshiba fan.[/QUOTE] |

Even on the current N10 though it's *fast*!! I should have said 'flat sides' rather than square - the Nexus seems to be slightly rounded on the edges, where the galaxy is very straight. Seems like (from the photos) the nexus may not be 100% stable sitting up in portrait mode? |

| 1359974 | 2013-11-17 22:48:00 | Mint. Thanks for that. :) Looks like the Nexus 10 will be the go. Might wait a few weeks to see the new one, just in case it's worth waiting for. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1359975 | 2013-11-17 23:11:00 | If that's all it's going to be used for, I wouldn't anticipate much. The N10 is pretty damn solid all around, except for the camera being relatively mediocre. It'll be faster better stronger etc, but unless you're gaming it ain't gonna matter a lot. It already has one of the highest resolutions you can get on a tablet, I'm unsure they'll increase it, so it'll likely just be gaming performance / battery life / weight etc |

| 1359976 | 2013-11-18 01:51:00 | Nice, thanks. I can't actually see anyone in NZ with it in stock at the moment, where would you buy one from? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1359977 | 2013-11-18 03:51:00 | www.einfo.co.nz I've bought from them a few times before :) |
