What tablet to buy?

[MetalDevil]

Okay so let me start this off with this: I'm a big fat phony. I don't actually want to game on the thing contrary to the forum name..

So hai,

I was looking for a good tablet to buy for under 200€ and I am from a country that is in a serious economical crisis, so I don't have much choice tbh. I was looking for a tablet to consume media, I currently have a 1300€ PC, Galaxy S4 and a HP 250 G2 laptop, which is .. well.. meh. I want to buy the tablet because I can't comftorably use tha laptop on my bed without it overheating and making loud noises, and the phone screen is too small to do anything with it, oh and also my eyes are really screwed, since I can't see that well on a 5" screen, but still. I was thinking of getting a LG G pad 7.0 or a Samsung Tab 4 7.0, but than I learned that holy crap, Microsoft is selling Windows 8.1 x86 tablets, WOOT! I want that, inside my body, I love the metro UI, I have win 8.1 original on my laptop and PC, I have a xbox, dude, a x86 tablet! And sure enough I can get one fairly cheap ( https://www.pricaraj.si/lenovo-miix-3-z3735f-2gb-32-w8-1-8-xga-b-nbi1749) but here is where problems start 

(also Gtab 7 https://www.pricaraj.si/tablicni-racunalnik-lg-g-pad-7-0-8gb-crne-barve-lgv400-ahunbk )

(and galaxy 4 https://www.pricaraj.si/tablicni-racunalnik-samsung-galaxy-tab4-sm-t230-8-gb-v-beli-barvi-sm-t230nzwasio )

 

So the windows tablet is great and all but after the windows install you are left with around 8gb space to play around with, and currently on my PC I have 42gb of 111gb free on my SSD that I don't install anything on, so I'm screwed because of the size of the disk, everything on the thing is superb, just the display is a bit horrible, but the same thing goes with the LG tab and Galaxy tab, they are both 8gb, I can't do anything with 8gb, but I surely can do more than with 8gb on a Windows machine..

 

So I'm stuck here, should I buy a Android tablet with a full out amazing play store, and native support for google apps, which is what I use most, basically all I use plus Reddit, but is lacking space to install apps plus won't get new updates soon

 

OR I buy a windows tablet that supports w8.1, on which I can install apps I use on a PC, has a bad display (not THAT bad surely..) and can actually play things, that will run slower because it's not based on a simple small OS like Android and that won't have native support for a lot of things, but DUDE, it's Windows 8.1 x86, what's not to love.. but I am really scared of the size.

 

But like I said, everything here is expensive, I would be paying

161€ for Galaxy Tab 4 7" (8gb)

133€ for LG Gpad 7 (8gb)

162€ Lenovo Miix 3

 

If you understand anything in slovenian, here is what I'm dealing with

Buying from Amazon is impossible, I would have to pay 40-70€ shipping, buying from ebay is hard since I don't possess a credit card.

Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact ?
 

Sorry the price is high on this one.

I'm personally waiting for the Nvidia Shield refresh. I don't plan to game on it much (gonna use as a daily driver), but the hardware is amazing for the price you pay. Little over your budget though.

wait for shield tablet refresh

[xavouine]

as said, wait for the new shield but then buy the "old" shield which should drop in price.

 

Either that or get something like a Nexus7 2013. It still runs well, is incredibly cheap and will get (or already has?) Lollipop. If the size is too small, maybe a Nexus10 would do. However, the Nexus 10 has a bit more dated hardware that, although still very capable, would not be able to do much more than browsing web, consume media and play casual games
