W workdad Member Dec 6, 2015 #3 Had a look at this one. Should I go for the later Android 5 system, or is the 4.4 system fine ? PUSB

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.

Nick Administrator Dec 9, 2015 #10 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)

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.
