Help in choosing a tablet

[hexden]

I'm new to tablet computing and I'm looking at buying one of 4 different tablets: Sero 7 Pro with 8GB, Acer Iconia 8GB A1-810-L615 Tablet, Asus ME-102 Memo Pad with 16GB, Dell Venue 8 with 8 GB of memory. These are all Android tablets. I have no interest in a tablet running Windows and I can't afford a IPad. My price range is approximately $200. I took a look at the Sero 7 Pro at Walmart and while it was nice I think a 7 inch screen looked small for me. The 8 inch tablets' screens seemed better. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. The 10 inch tablets screens looked nice as well. Most of the things I'd want to do with a tablet is surf the Web, run a variety of apps and maybe watch a movie or play a game or two.

The 2nd gen Nexus 7 32G is hard to beat. The screen is 7", and my eyesight sucks, but I have no trouble reading anything on the screen. Being a Nexus device, it runs stock Android, has the Google Play store built-in without a hassle, and gets regular updates.

If you see this response in time, there are a few holiday discounts on the current Nexus 7 that could bring it down to $199 or less, which would make it a definite buy. For example:

If you miss out, consider something like the MeMo Pad HD 7. Either way, I wouldn't be a huge fan of those three tablets you've chosen... if I had to pick, though, I'd definitely choose the Sero 7 Pro. The best balanced and reasonably quick of the three.
