AFAIK Surface Pro is out of my budget
So I am pinning on Yoga 2.
Any last minute suggestion?

I personally think android and ios tablets are waste of money. My friend recently purchased iball w32 . Its a full fledged windows tablet at 14k with sim slot 3g and HDMI out. Trumps ipad thousand times. Android and ios tablets are fancy consumer products until you encounter the awkward moment where the simplest windows task cant be handled by these. My 2 paisa.

Yoga 2 looks pretty decent
you should be able to use a basic leather universal tablet case for it easily or even a sleeve

You may have a look at the 2-in-1 launched by iBall,which is WQ149

The best part is that you can use it as a full fledged laptop,it has a keyboard + trackpad bundled as a case.
It has a micro-sim slot,so network on the go.
Full Windows-8.1 version not RT.
Definitely lower than YOUR Budget.

YOUR CHOICE & CALL,buddy.

Without undermining your comment or rather supporting it,you should know that notion ink and iball were plagued with issues before,but not now as time and days progress.
Do not just put a stigma on these companies,just because on the initial stage they had issues and problems.
Same thing also happened with Samsung,Lenovo during few years back on its laptop ,mobile etc.devices.
Since OP has a budget of Rs.30k, he has the ability and CHOICE to buy any product from any manufacturer according to his WISH.

Why just impose him with International branded products?
Today due to fate,Lenovo Yoga2 or HP omni might run into trouble after buying.
In the world of electronics one cannot be absolute certain and sure...even apple products built with dexterity and dilligence has issues with some of its launched products to some ill luck/fated customers.

If OP chooses to buy yoga2 or omni no problem at all. But he has the right to survey through all products.

^^yeah right,everyone said the same for brands such as micromax,xiaomi,xolo etc and then come back crying when the bubble bursts
going by your logic,we should buy cheap,poorly made unestablished brand products over a VFM,reliable proper brand
dont compare apple in such scenarios,the hate for apple in this forum is strong for no reason
after buying 3 android tabs and 3 ipads in my household,i can safely say ipads are much better built except for tabs such as nexus 7 which are more or less equal
i highly doubt youve owned an apple product and are just generalising
billions of people arent fools to buy stuff from apple ,dell etc
30k isnt a small sum of money and money doesnt grow on trees,why settle for an uncertain product when your getting something better in every possible way,even specs etc
im sure a Lenovo,HP,Dell,apple or even nexus is a safer bet than some uncertain brand like notion ink,iball etc
its like your trying to get someone to buy a nano instead of a Maruti

Again you are specifying things to some extent.
Not EVERYONE but SOMEONE'S might have issues with those so called cheap and crap companies as defined by SOME PEOPLE in this @TDF.
Look Friend, I am not resorting to start a flame war,nor do I have reservations aginst so called HIGH END and INTERNATIONAL BRANDED products.
It is @OP's prerogative to buy any product which HE chooses,which HE likes.
As per your comments a large no. of people(ordinary con man,not belonging in this @TDF)are fools to buy products from XIAOMI,Micromax,XOLO,IBall,etc. manufacturers. In fact I've known many people in our locality ,those who are quite FINANCIALLY SOUND buying Micromax Canvas A351/series or IBerry Nuclea X. Some are studying at Engineering colleges some others are not at all Tech. Savvy. So do we mean everyone to be foolish in choosing this products over the likes of Samsung,Acer,ASUS,LG,etc.?

My own Brother-in-law(An Engineer by profession) owns and is using apple i-phone and i-pad mini, but at the same time using another Tablet from Milagrow. According to his usage and liking and EXPERIENCE, apple products are supreme and reign the earth...TRUE,but the same MAN is saying Milagrow Tablet though far behind is not a crapware at all. He is also satisfied,withMilagrow's functionality and performance.

If you recollect,in this particular @TDF, ACER Laptops were considered to be crapware sometimes back,but not NOW!!!

I would have definitely gone for Nexus 9. However I must have 3G available. That would cost me Rs. 45000.

But I am looking into a theory. If I go for Nexus 9 16GB Wifi version, can I plug in a 3G dongle with sim to get internet connectivity?

which proves my theory that people often think cheap=best and get cheated easily
you assume apple and other brands are overpriced and bad well while they are pricey they are worth the extra mile
micromax etc arent good buys especially for someone who has a higher budget
im happy buying pricey reputed brand items once in a few years because guess what the failure rate,service etc is worth paying for
you dont believe iball,micromax etc arent good,well check out the numerous posts warning people against buying their products after getting cheated
acer is a different story altogether
you want a better example,people will try and push people to buy a desktop over a high performance gaming laptop just because they havent ever owned a proper laptop and like to generalise like this
if you buy the correct product,itll last years
its sad and lame when people "assume" apple << chinese brands just going by specs,alot of research goes into these products
in this case,take the Yoga 2 why should the op buy some unreliable product when he wants a reliable laptop replacement
Yoga 2 is a tried and tested product and is worth it
notion ink is a risk

people have done it with the nexus 7 before but if battery life isnt your concern,the yoga 2 is a better buy overall unless you want an android specifically
Nexus 9 is also pretty well built and i suggest waiting for a bit if you want to go in for one because intial pricing is always high
check out nexus 7 as well if you want an excellent tablet at a good price,itll drop to atleast 14k in 1-2 more weeks mostly

Ok.
So N9 costs 49k with LTE.
28 k with Wifi.

If Wifi is enough for you go with it.

Check Nvidia Shield tab.
Great tab and with all features at 28k.

Even the bundled keyboard+touchpad+cover is a class in itself.
It also comes with a slot for USB-3G sticks to be inserted.

As for iBall WQ149 is the fittest candidate.

@op my sincere advice is -
since you want a laptop replacement,stick to reputed,reliable products instead of risky ones
in the end its up to you to decide but if i were you -iPad,Nexus,Yoga 2,Omni,Venue Pro 8,Surface Pro 3
anything else will just disappoint later on
the ones i mentioned are tried and tested,excellent build quality and support,good after sales,parts etc will be easy for future and very low failure rate compared to other tablets such as notion,iball etc

@masterkd ,my brother.
Choose very wisely amongst the products discussed above.

I am not insisting you to buy any specific or particular brand,

IT'S COMPLETELY UPON YOUR CHOICE AND JUDGEMENT.
Before taking the plunge,study more reviews thoroughlly.

DON'T BE BIASED brother.

Your own HAPPINESS is your OWN. Take care brother.

Any Electronics product (BRANDED or UNBRANDED ; INTERNATIONAL or DESI) is a risky affair. LUCK FACTOR PLAYS an important part amongst all of us when we deal with these gadgets/devices/products by purchasing & using & maintaining them.
Disappointment is a subjective affair,it might happen with Branded ,tried and tested products also. Otherwise Micromax couldn't have reached the 2nd top position after Samsung at, business ,sales,turnover,etc. in India.

I again say BIASEDNESS destroys an important aspect of our lives, CHOICE.

Why should we go in for Apples only,when there are Pears,Bananas,Berries,Guavas,Grapes,Mangoes,etc.???

Yes,the Fruit must be Fresh,Tasty(Personal Choice) and obviously without any defects.

Hope you got my points,brother [MENTION=110560]masterkd[/MENTION].

+1,and very much true.
But [MENTION=159164]$hadow[/MENTION], I think relentless true Broadband is still not a reality for most of us,despite spending quite an amount per month on bills. That may be a dampener/con for most of us.
The storage(OFFLINE) should be minimum 32~64GB SSD (due to important file storage) ,according to my opinion,since every apps.,programs,will be processed and resided in and within the Cloud networks.

nexus 9 is very expensive! 16gb version is absolutely useless and the 32gb is crazy expensive at 50k~
you can get Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 at this price.

or you could go for 2-in-1 laptop for 35k ish

I am facing the same dilemma right now, I need to see the 15k digiflip 10 inch tablet to get the exact feel.

if your worried about battery life with hotspot-
get this-
Error 500 Server Error
i bought one and love it
dont worry about quality etc,its got LG/Samsung cells and Texas instruments power IC so its not got "chinese" parts

Re: Require 10&amp;amp;amp;quot; tablet within Rs. 30000 as laptop replacement

+1,and very much true.
But [MENTION=159164]$hadow[/MENTION], I think relentless true Broadband is still not a reality for most of us,despite spending quite an amount per month on bills. That may be a dampener/con for most of us.
The storage(OFFLINE) should be minimum 32~64GB SSD (due to important file storage) ,according to my opinion,since every apps.,programs,will be processed and resided in and within the Cloud networks.

If I am not wrong chrome books support pen drive and other form of modern storage.

Asus new eee laptop has arrived with full windows 8.1 at 199 dollars with more than 10 hours battery life. makes zero sense to buy a Chromebook at that price. finally a dirt cheap windows competitor to macbook air :D

For the first time I am kinda unsure suggesting N9. Even M. Fisher was saying about stutter and lag in the device. But still waiting for MKBHD review for even more actual take. OP might be better of with a windows tablet. Like [MENTION=123453]kg11sgbg[/MENTION] bought earlier. Didn't remember the exact model though.

if im not wrong android L does seem to have random bugs
i think op should just buy Dell Venue Pro 8 eyes closed,its got excellent support and is one of the most popular tablets out there
though i feel N9 bugs will be fixed with a software update very soon
or else he should give ipad a shot

Bugs will be fixed soon but if they were a hardware based bugs not software based. NVIDIA is hardly making any processor and we also know how much they are used to generate during heavy usage. Just for the sake of 64 bit they added that processor and now there is a continuous lag and stutter in simple tasks such as going from one task to another.

I am scared of a bit...my Friend.
Because I am a guy who purchases cheap Chinese crapware and FORCE others to buy the same,likewise accusations are bombarded to me ,by some Honourable,Geeky,Elitist Person.

Anyway just to remind you and not @OP,it was a Windows-8.1 based Tablet from IBall, the WQ32.

I am relishing the events of comments going on in here now. @$hadow ,my Friend the winter is setting slowly,so I am feeling the chill.:mrgreen:
Where on the earth did I mention that buyers or users of apple products are fools and those products are sub-par items???!!!
Does our Honourable Friend thinks I 've run away from some mental asylum?
I also want to point these comments to the Moderators and Admins.

I also request our honourable friend to show me the piece of evidence,link,comments,whatsoever that has been mentioned beforehand about apple products.

Re: Require 10&quot; tablet within Rs. 30000 as laptop replacement

So, finally decided to go for Nexus 9
When will it be available in Play Store?
Kinda skeptical to purchase it from Amazon as I have received awesome service when I have purchased my Nexus 5 from Play Store.

Also what accessories (case/cover/screen protector) to opt for for this awesome baby? I don't want a single mark on it.

Google play gives no questions asked replacement policy in case of hardware failure.

That's why many people prefer it over other retailers.

If you have a nexus device you have a no question asked replacement policy applicable for you as well.

hey, I have one doubt. What do you mean by replacement???

My friend also wants to buy tablet or touch screen laptop. I don't know anything about this.
He told me that he want full functionality like we do on desktop/laptop (windows 8/win 7), using office (touch), or other useful things touch/without touch. He wants touch screen is just in addition.
So which type he should buy? tablet, touch pc, laptop, hybrid? where he can use touch functionality in office, using windows 8.1.
