thequietman Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hi guys, Anyone bought a tablet for their kid and are more than happy ?? I know nothing about these so be gentle. Sons birthday soon, so I want to get him one. What model will I buy. Any advice is appreciated. Saw one called Hercules SP0718 with 8 gb memory that seems ok. 2900 baht wifi cortex A9 dual core 1.5 Ghz (what ever that means) Advice is greatly appreciated. As you know, it will probably only be used for games and surfing the net. Many Thanks in advance. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijb Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It'll spoil the surprise. But, it might be safer to ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borovik Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Legend from Ainol.It is simpler then the one you have seen- but also much cheaper.-good price is 50 bucks.It plays all games 7 inch.I am using it myself now.quite good.You will not get mad when he breaks it you will buy him another one.same model.You have to buy cover for it sort of wallet to protect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeBKK Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 take a look at the WeGO Tablets - they go for around 60 $ 2500 THB and are quite good. But i'm afraid if you kid is anything older than 7, you'll probably get the "worst dad of the world" award ! it is a pity, seeing kids abuse 64GB mini-ipads! Yes, they look sleek. Yes,they make you king of the castle! DAD - I broke it. Buy me a new one please. ups, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeniau96 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Niece of my wife has been living with us for the past 3 years, is now almost 4 yrs old. Got the Google Nexus 7 when it first came out, received it last June. Loaded it with many Google Play apps (alphabet, numbers, art, stories). She uses it every day, has learned the alphabet and numbers, now starting reading. Greatly enjoys it and respects the device. I got a cover for it, as I have for my own. Just have to teach them how to treat electronics. The Nexus 7 is simply great, and it is being upgraded as well as had some price drops. Much recommended for 11-yr old because of the wealth of free and paid Android apps that work so well on the Android 4.1 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have an Aigopad M80 that I bought just before the Nexus 7 was launched. I've had no major issues with it, but the one thing that the cheap Chinese manufacturers seem not to do is release software upgrades. I can run Jelly Bean on my ancient Samsung Galaxy S, but seem to haveno option to upgrade the software on the tablet. The manufacturer doesn't seem to release softwareupdates, and it never reached the volumes where it would be supported by groups like Cyanogen. i.e. Before buying a cheap Chinese tablet, I'd definitely check their website to confirm they've released updates for older models.

borovik Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have changed my mind.Now I am recommending 4core Crystal2 also from Ainol. you can buy it for just 100 bucks which is steal. It is more then 4 Times better comparing with Legend, which is 1 core only. Your son is big boy, 11 years old he will not kaputt it inone week. Look another thread in Internet Mobile Devices where you will find link to100 bucks price(free shipping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borovik Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) It looks like the perfect choice! Did you know the review(very extensive and pedantic!) in www.notebookcheck.net?(German site) You will also find there - my recommendation:Ainol Cristall(just small story,not review - very fresh-just today!) I have Crystal now.It lacks GPS,BlueTooth .and some other small things like mike input,8G only,mono speaker. The most important is - average time between fails.Ainol is not very good at it.(statistically) Where will you buy your choice for 4000B?

wolf5370 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have Blackberry Playbooks, an Ipad2 and an Android tablet - my kids prefer the Ipad2 (but not cheap) - I prefer the Playbook. Android is OK, but doesn't compare to either the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008bangkok Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Iv got a android 10.1 and a ipad 3 and the kids will literally stand on the android to help them get on the bed to play on the Ipad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) iPad mini. Best of the iPads and also the cheapest. Tons of fantastic apps for kids, just make sure to enable the parental controls so they can't buy stuff... My 5 year old can barely write but he managed google for octopus videos... and subsequently watch them on youtube... I was blown away... he mis-spelled octopus but Google fixed that for him...he's also pretty close to figuring out my passcode just by watching me enter it from time to time, I don't think it'll be long...
