In the market for a tablet.

Discussion in 'Tech Talk' started by Owainn, Dec 2, 2011.

  1. The T Prime has the newest Android 4.0 which works really well and is very fluid. The docking station is a big bonus if you want to do any real typing and it greatly extends the battery life (something like an additional 6 or 7 hours), it has a really nice design, its incredibly thin, it comes with a Tegra 3 quad core CPU so it has a huge amount of processing power, it also has a higher resolution screen, and a larger screen by a little bit. Plus it uses Gorilla Glass which is quite strong and resistant to breaking, bending, and scratches. Its estimated life is 12 hours (18 with dock) even though it has a quad core in it. Better than an iPad2's battery even though it has a slower dual core processor.

    So ya IMO it is still the best by far even if you never want to use the dock.

    so i was in the camera department of Target. They had android tablets there- big 10.1" ones from large brand names for under $275. Just thought i'd share since I was under the impression 400 was the average going price.

    What brand? There are alot of companies that tried to get into the tablet market and did not do so well with them even though they do very well in other gadgets.

    Nice. Toss that employ discount my way for one of these! What makes the Prime so much better in actual use from the galaxy- enough to make you return it and pay the extra?
