Buying a new Dual core tablet

[Gareth2061]

Hi everyone

I am looking at getting one of the below three tablets in the near future as they seem to have the best specs for the money overall.

SmartQ T20 £265 total

Cube U30GT £200 + custom fees

Window N101 £210 + custom fees

I like that they all have dual core and 1200 x 800 screens.

From what I have read here the T20 probably has the best performance. I hope they drop the price a bit soon as I could get an Asus Transformer for £330. Is the SGX540 that much better than the Mali400 dual and quad GPUs?

I am interested in best performance, build quality and screen over other things, not so interested in the camera etc, what does everyone think is the best option?

personally the only one i would consider buying out of the three you have listed is the SmartQ - T20

the other 2 are to new imo, i would wait awhile to see what kind of bugs they have first before considering a purchase.

i would also consider the Asus transformer or the Acer iconia A-500, hell even the HP touchpad, plenty of support and there are Rom's available ....just my humble opinion..

Only thing is I dont really want to go much over the £200 mark if I can help it, A500 is £355 here or there abouts.

i hear ya, you could always consider a refurbished model.....or just wait until some reviews come in here to the forum on the Window & the Cube models to get a better understanding...they both do seem like outstanding models by their specs, yet the proof is in the hand of the user.

Wow, SmartQ T20 is so popular! Wait a little more time for CubeU30 GT, an awesome tab from the spec, and presell price is much lower than T20

I think I might just do that Alicebingling, hopefully the price will come down a bit too. I'm sure that the CubeU30 GT should have a metal back too which I prefer. I don't know why but plastic just seems a bit too flimsy for my liking.

The SmartQ T20 would be the best choice. In terms of performance this is dual core tablet than the other two.
