Budget Tablet?

Looking for a budget tablet how about giving the the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 a try a very capable tablet under 13k. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 measuring 7 inches would be able to perform the basic demands a tablet user would need with full access to the android market unlike other tablets like the amazon kindle fire that has very restricted android access which is also a 7 inch tablet unless your into rooting your kindle fire but if you want android running out of the box why not give this tablet a shot.




Here are some specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

7-inch PLS-LCD screen with 600 x 1024 resolution

1GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU

This is a huge step Google made i guess they saw that there is a huge market for an affordable but capable tablet. I beleive this tablet would be one of the best in its range a full version of Android os and the latest at that and lots of other features not available to the other tablest which are priced the same like the kindle fire that a controlled version of Android. This tablet may not be perfect but the basic things that an average user would need would be here and this tablet may not be as great as an iPad or other android tablet but this tablet has just set the bar higher for the tablets in its range. I only hope that the rumors about this tablet not being available outside the united states are not true and that Google would also launch it here in Asia specifically in the Philippines. 

here are some pros and cons i found based on the tablets specs.

PROS

competitive price

operating system this is the first tablet to have jelly bean 

ips screen

1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU
