We've been kind of looking at tablets for my wife. She uses her phone probably 90% of the time for browsing the internet, email, Facebook, etc. She only really uses her PC anymore when she needs to do something she can't on the phone.
We recently upgraded our phones to Note 4's, which are great, but still kind of small-screened for her. We want something decent enough, that isn't a terrible disappointment going from the Notes, but also don't want to spend very much.
We've been looking a little at some of the Samsung offerings (8 & 10.5, probably older models at $180/250), the iPad mini 2, and I've looked briefly at the Nexus 7. She also found earlier that you can get an Amazon Fire HD 7 for just over $100. I haven't really looked at those, as we had issues with an older Nook Color, but as I understand these are built as tablets first. I've also seen some Dell and Asus offerings that are pretty decent.
So, what is the best bang for the buck? I'd like to be as cheap as I can, but still get a good unit. I'd consider up to $300, but I think that's going to be the limit. I would consider iPad or Android, although I don't know if she'd do Windows I'd at least consider it. My dad picked up a Lenovo tablet a while back under $200 and thought it was interesting.
