Tablet for Dad

[RCuber]

hey guys, My parents anniversary is coming up next month and I have to give some gifts to them.

Mom wants a watch so that part is covered.

Now for my dad I want to gift him a tablet. he uses a Android phone, so he should be a little comfortable with it.

primary use: watching youtube videos/movies over network . music, web surfing (Indian Rail official page should run flawlessly ) . please note display clarity should be good on webpages.

Budget : 7-10K not more.. I cannot afford more than that in August month

I think only 7" tablets are in this range.

I have seen a couple thread and most of them are yet to release.

im considering Micromax funbook, but I think it has issues when it comes to web page rendering .. please correct me if I am wrong on that part.

I have to get this before 18 August max (considering shipment delays etc) so that I can present it on their wedding anniversary

EDIT: please do quote approximate cost of the product. if possible a link to a product page

what can go wrong man...
is actually/mostly the same hardware as funbook except a 10" screen

well i m little skeptical on this.. as last tym also almost 40% of people know to me who purchased FB are suffering audio problem..

i wish this time they launch a long life product.. bt i think you should w8 for some time..

[akkib89]

which problem u faced?

Lag, lag, lag. Well it was a phone and not a tablet experience.

Lag, lag, lag. Well it was a phone and not a tablet experience.

The funbook is based on a pretty good VFM SoC. It doesn't lag. It is not like the phones that Micromax makes.

I need to reconsider my budget.. cannot go for 10K tablet.. shifting back to 7K . real disappointment for me.

BTW how does the EMI work on snapdeal? should I have a credit card? I only have debit cards

Iberry Auxus AX02 if you've reduced your budget

[R2K]

Its gonna be a waste of money if you go for cheap tablets. Most of those chinese made tabs are not good if you look for future reliability.

[RCuber]

^^ the iBerry Auxus has got the #1 spot for budget tablets from thinkdigit review.. I can afford a iPad 2 next month, but as this will be the first time I am buying a table ill take a cheaper option first. if I do want to upgrade then I can sell it form the Bazaar section in this forum

How is Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II Dual Core 1.5GHz 7 Inch IPS Touch Screen 1G RAM Android Tablet ???

[tkin]

Go for Funbook, you'll get warranty support, not for chinese tabs, no matter what everyone says.

[RCuber]

after thinking a little bit, I still feel funbook is a right choice, I still got about 10 days to decide.. ill gift a better one to my dad couple of months later.. may be a iPad or galaxy tab.

Placed order for Aurora II from MP4Nation.. im more impressed with the Panel and resolution.. Damage - Rs. 8583.78 ($149.50), paid via debit card. free 2 day shipping via Fed Ex. Taking a risk.. I recalled that I didnt gift anything to my dad on his birthday last month.. so order today itself before I changed my mind .

Thanks everyone for the input.
