Tablet for Dad · DIGIT-ARC

hey guys, My parents anniversary is coming up next month and I have to give some gifts to them.

Mom wants a watch so that part is covered.

Now for my dad I want to gift him a tablet. he uses a Android phone, so he should be a little comfortable with it.

primary use: watching youtube videos/movies over network . music, web surfing (Indian Rail official page should run flawlessly

) . please note display clarity should be good on webpages.

Budget : 7-10K not more.. I cannot afford more than that in August month

I think only 7" tablets are in this range.

I have seen a couple thread and most of them are yet to release.

im considering Micromax funbook, but I think it has issues when it comes to web page rendering .. please correct me if I am wrong on that part.

I have to get this before 18 August max (considering shipment delays etc) so that I can present it on their wedding anniversary

EDIT: please do quote approximate cost of the product. if possible a link to a product page

Iberry Auxus AX03G

ill check online reviews of one device per day till next week, and by second week I should be able to decide on which device to order.

Lag, lag, lag. Well it was a phone and not a tablet experience.

The funbook is based on a pretty good VFM SoC. It doesn't lag. It is not like the phones that Micromax makes.

I need to reconsider my budget.. cannot go for 10K tablet.. shifting back to 7K . real disappointment for me.

BTW how does the EMI work on snapdeal? should I have a credit card? I only have debit cards

Iberry Auxus AX02 if you've reduced your budget

Its gonna be a waste of money if you go for cheap tablets. Most of those chinese made tabs are not good if you look for future reliability.

^^ the iBerry Auxus has got the #1 spot for budget tablets from thinkdigit review.. I can afford a iPad 2 next month, but as this will be the first time I am buying a table ill take a cheaper option first. if I do want to upgrade then I can sell it form the Bazaar section in this forum

@sharang.d : whats the current price?

7,999/-

How is Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II Dual Core 1.5GHz 7 Inch IPS Touch Screen 1G RAM Android Tablet ???

Go for Funbook, you'll get warranty support, not for chinese tabs, no matter what everyone says.

after thinking a little bit, I still feel funbook is a right choice, I still got about 10 days to decide.. ill gift a better one to my dad couple of months later.. may be a iPad or galaxy tab.

Placed order for Aurora II from MP4Nation.. im more impressed with the Panel and resolution.. Damage - Rs. 8583.78 ($149.50), paid via debit card. free 2 day shipping via Fed Ex. Taking a risk.. I recalled that I didnt gift anything to my dad on his birthday last month.. so order today itself before I changed my mind

.

Thanks everyone for the input.

+ Micromax funbook pro @ 10k

^^ I have already ordered Aurora II

@Mods : Need to update members on the tablet. Please "DO NOT" close the thread.

ok will do

Yeah even i need a review.

update... got the tablet Monday (3rd) afternoon, I used it for about 6 hrs on Tuesday(4th). its a good buy for the budget. screen was the surprise, it was quite crisp. Build quality is not great (plastic) but doesn't feel cheap. Google Play is fine but not all apps are compatible.. Tablet get a little warm on the left side, but its manageable. Camera is nothing to write about. Coming to the actual use of the tablet.. the apps were snappy and didn't lag at all. I did notice app crashes when I was using Voice Search. 3 out of 10 voice search attempts would crash the application.

I will do a review on this tablet in a separate thread. Please let me know what all points I should cover..
