| 1394147 | 2015-03-11 01:44:00 | For those with Android tablets - how much storage space do you find you use for apps? (My music + photos + docs will be handled through Spotify, Play Music, Google Photos, and OneDrive) The price on the 16GB Nexus 7 is tempting, but is 16gbs enough for most people? |

| 1394149 | 2015-03-11 02:00:00 | I also go for the bigger capacity version but I think that it is probably overkill if me. The 16GB ones would be big enough unless you are going to load in a lot of PDFs etc. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1394150 | 2015-03-11 02:04:00 | My Nexus 7 is only the 8GB one and I've never run out of space on it. It'd be different if I wanted to store Videos or a large audio collection on it but I don't so it's fine. I'd go 16 or more just to be safe but you really don't need too much for apps really, it's files that seem to take up the most space. I just tried CCleaner for android on my phone and it cleaned out about 500mb of cached stuff, might try that on the tablet too. I do think tablets with a micro SD slot are better just for the versatility it offers though. |

| 1394151 | 2015-03-11 02:20:00 | I picked up a S/H iPad Mini 2 for $250, but if I was to buy one new I would be going 32/64GB. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1394152 | 2015-03-11 10:24:00 | If I run into issues on all my previous 16GB devices, it's been because I've recorded a bunch of 1080p video from the camera. I have auto-backup on so I just go delete the local copy every couple of months. That said, just threw a 64GB SD Card in to my Xperia Z3, have zero worries about space now :D |

| 1394154 | 2015-03-11 21:24:00 | Sounds like 16GB should be enough, I'll look around and try to get one for a good price. Thanks for all the advice guys :) iPad was just a bit too pricey for the extra it offered over the Nexus 7. I'd rather get the cheaper Nexus 7, and then if I need it grab a cheap netbook like the one mentioned earlier. |

| 1394156 | 2015-03-12 09:13:00 | Kinda unrelated/off topic, but... After being at University for a few weeks, I've found that the best device you can get is the Surface Pro 3. Perfect for lectures, the stylus is super handy - you don't even need to spend $$ on coursebooks, you just download the PDF's and take notes on the tablet itself. It replaces your laptop and is a tablet at the same time. Pretty much every single thing you need to do can be done on the SP3. I currently only have a desktop, but next year, if need be, I'll probably pick up an SP3 or maybe SP4 by then. |
