Looking for a new tablet

[Deleted]

On the lookout for a new tablet to replace mine, which was stolen. Only looking for a cheapie, minimum 7 inch screen. Was wondering if anybody had tried one from the fasttech range, if they are any good or would I be better just buying one from the uk. I'm not too tech savvy so any advice and recommendations are welcome. Looking to spend about £70/£80.

Fasttech tablets have poor construction. A small drop, a yank of the charger and it could be game over. Had three from there, two of them full of crapware and virus'.

this one is the only one not to give us problems, but I would still reccommend a solid case to give it a chance at lasting.

If you are looking for something to last a while, or to handle a bit of bashing about, look elsewhere howerver.

You can get good tablets from china for around 150-200
anything new on EBay for under 100 is garbage
Take a look on Freaktab forum to find a decent one that some has done a CUSTOM ROM for several tablets made by CUBE are very good, quality wise and performance, but flashing a custom ROM is usually needed to rid it of Chinese apps, Iron out some andriod issues and replace the stock Chinese recovery with a decent English one so you can use a backup, without the need for a Chinese translator.

I have a CUBE X9 U65GT look it up you'll be surprised by the reviews. Their new one the T9 both use latest i pad high def screen aluminium chassis and 10,000 mAh battery in something that is 4 mm thick T9 is upgraded to 64bit 8-core and has 4G i have the pre 4G one Tinydeal are good to source from when you find the one you want that is well supported with ROM.

I'd have a look at the kindle fire, my kids have one each and they take a real hammering and both still work brilliantly. Ones even gone down the stairs and didn't bother it one bit. Good price and if my sons can't break em that's a great advert

Company based locally called novatech they do some very reasonably priced tablets
Cant do link I'm afraid
Just Google them, cheers glen
