KittenKong Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think the Samsung Galaxy Tab is in your price range. I dont imagine you would find anything better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Whatever you do, don't buy a knock-off - something that pretends to be a brand name. They generally fail within a week and you will have zero support from the vendor. Personally I'd buy a Google Nexus over the Internet, but Samsung tablets are fine, just very expensive here, I doubt you'll find a current model Galaxy Tab 10" in your price range. Alternatively there's a local i-mobile range that have some reasonable tablets at very reasonably prices, And as this is more technology-related than Pattaya-related let's move it to the technology forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmicheald Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have bought 3 tablets from http://www.aliexpress.com/ . One seven inch with GPS and two 10". Both 10" have Android and were under $200 (6,000) . I haven't had ANY problems with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2004 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I bought a Nexus 10 for 9,900 baht in Central (at Winners 4th floor) which is a great tablet (and now has 4.4). I think that was a special offer though so maybe more now. Well worth paying a few extra baht though. I agree don't buy a copy, gives poor performance and a short life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 ^ I think the Nexus 10 mentioned above is still the best deal in the price range you mention. Google for some reason hasn't released a successor, which is a bit strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Bought a "Ainol Novo7 Legend" for 3.000 ThB, very satisfied with it, however I only use it to download and read books. Edited November 24, 2013 by luckyluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Bought a Onda V972, never uses it, now collecting dust. Nice screen, wi-fi is crap can't use it out on the patio in my house but smart phone and Kindle readers no problem. Well well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10in Tab 2 is advertised at 12,900B so at most only 900B more than his budget, maybe less. To my mind there isn't much (useful) difference between the Tab 2 and the Tab 3, and so the Tab 2 should be fine for his needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Possibly so but I'd still take the Nexus 10 at 9,900 if it was me. I am not a great fan of Samsung's software - and more importantly, delay in updating same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You purchased a Nexus 10 here in Thailand? AFAIK, Samsung Thailand never localized this model here. What, or where, is "Winners 4th floor? In a particular Central mall? 9.900 is a lot cheaper than the Play Store in the U.S. I guess it could be some grey-market unit which somebody wanted to unload? There were some N7's in that price range. The N10/2 is due to pop any day now, maybe on Black Friday. The Samsung Tab 2/10.1/3G+WiFi is 10,500 - 12,900, the latter being the MSRP.

wimpy Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I bought a NookHD+ 9" on eBay for about $100. Rooted it and installed plain Android. Makes for a nice tablet at a bargain price - assuming WiFi only and no camera is OK. Excellent screen.

Sent from my BN NookHD+ using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I think you must have been quite lucky to get a 9" Nook for $100. Checking Ebay now, the only ones I find in that range still have weeks left of the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpy Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I stand corrected. It was 139.00 for a 32gb new with free shipping in the US. Buy it now. The same seller now has them for 199.00 Sent from my BN NookHD+ using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuteguy Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Is there anything bigger than 10" available ? don't know for sure, but I think going in the 11"+ territory you are talking netbook, laptop, touchscreen laptops there are some 10.6-11.1" listed here - sort by screen size on the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a older 3.5" smart-ish mobile (and a pair of glasses) for my pocket on an everyday basis, and a 24" LCD TV for my room, so I'm looking for something in-between which will be easy on my old eyes.
