Hello, I am being planning to use my savings to buy a new tablet for my birthday which is around 29th June, but I being stuck in the decision making process. Here's what I wanted to do on my tablet:
My preferred tablet specs:
One of my obvious choices is the Surface 2 (don't mention the Pro 2 because Microsoft decided to skip the Pro 2 and give us Malaysians the Pro 3 instead). I being wrestling between the Surface 2, iPad Mini with Retina, ASUS Vivotab Smart and Acer Iconia W3.
I being reading up reviews saying that those Intel Atom tablets (i.e. ASUS VivoTab and Iconia W3) is not as snappy as those like Surface 2, etc. Then between the Surface 2 and the iPad Mini, I being wrestling between the sizes between the two (iPad Mini won that one) and the multitasking capabilities (Surface 2 won that one unless iOS 8 bring multiwindow snapping). Now I am lost in the decision making, so I need some help.
P/S Is there any alternative to those expensive (it costs from RM 300 to RM 600, definitely blowing my budget) to the touch and type covers ?
- Browsing the web+Skype
- Sketching
- Casual gaming
- Comics+book reading
My preferred tablet specs:
- 8 to 10 inch
- no Google please. So Androids are out of the picture
- Cheap (because Malaysian Ringgit is 3 times worth less than USD)
