Looking for a new Android tablet. Probably 8 inch screen. Got an old fire tablet but does not support bbc player now. Budget is 150 quid tops.

Had a look at this one. Should I go for the later Android 5 system, or is the 4.4 system fine ?

What do you want to use it for?

The odd game, mainly surfing the Web. The odd tv programme. Definitely no spreadsheets or anything techie.

Well you don't need a top of the range with nobs on for that, the one I linked from Argos should suffice - the wife has one and it's a solid tablet.

Don't ever buy an @Tab tablet though, they're as fragile as Villa's defence and the replacements they send are dire refurbishments.

Been lots of problems with the Hudl 2. I know because mine keeps packing in and my daughter's and cousin's too.

Google nexus one is decent

I'd go with a Google Nexus but they are pricey.

Have a look through these - http://www.finditforless.co.uk/search/8-tablet

Id also have a look at the Asus Zenpads (page 6 onwards)

This package is quite good - http://www.finditforless.co.uk/offe...re-tablet-bundle-with-bluetooth-keyboard-3712

Had to factory reset mine twice and my daughter's once. I do like the thing, but had a few problems.

My daughter's now just has the battery suddenly going down to zero and switching off now. Mine's done the same several times too.

Factory reset is easy enough though. Mine seems to be fine at the mo.
