Just got a new nexus 9 out of the box and Not really gone right over it enough to give a decent impression but blow me is it quick Great tablet but not for me as it has a 4:3 screen ratio so you get letter boxing when watching videos and fikms in landscape. Looked into that before I ordered it- decided it's not an issue cos I don't watch films on a tablet, watched a youtube vid in currys and I was more than happy with what I saw so went ahead with it.

Its a cracking tablet. Imo one of the best around at the moment and stock android which is a big yes for me. Still debating on selling my lg g3 phone for a nexus 6.

There has been a lot of talk recently about which ones to get.
I thought the nexus was the best, but if you want excellent graphics, long battery life, and superior sound ..........
I bought the Lenovo yoga a week or 2 ago.
Had it on it the go now for 19 hours and battery is still going without re-charging. I'm into music so use headphones but even without, the sound is the best I have heard from any tablet.
If you are after a tablet with these features I can not rate it highly enough. Plus it has it's own stand.
Which Yoga?

Which Yoga? I got this one, which is on offer at argos -, my requirements were cheapish, good sound and long battery life. I'm well impressed, especially for the price. Since owning it, I am especially pleased with the sound quality, the battery life, and the speed, its super fast for what I use it for. I also like the stand, and how you can hold it like a book. I can only presume the more expensive ones must be top of the class. www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1415807.htm
edit just to say, I have access to a nexus 7, ipad mini, ipad , and ipad air, but I wouldn't swap the Lenovo for any of them.

If you are after a case, they are £29.99 in argos, but I got one from amazon for £14.99 which is perfect, fits like a glove and all ports etc have perfect cut outs.
Celicious = make, seller is tech doctor, and if you want funky colours think the price starts at £10.99
