Replacing My iPad Mini

[Blenderite]

Hey Guys,

 

I have had a iPad Mini for a couple years now and am getting quite sick of it. I am completely underwhelmed by the iOS software.

 

I am looking to replace it with a Android tablet, but I have not been following the latest Android tablets recently. 

 

I would like to find a device that is fairly powerful, has good battery life for standard use, solid construction, etc. If there is one with a SD slot, that would be great too.

 

As far as price goes, I am not quite sure what my budget will be just yet, definitely under $500 I'm sure. If you could give me a couple in different price ranges, I would appreciate that! 

 

Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4"  $399

 

Nvidia Shield Tablet  $299 

 

 

Those would be my picks

This is what I am seeing for the Shield Tablet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00LM6KF7O/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

 

Anywhere else where they have them for cheaper? I see on the NVIDIA site it is listed at $299, but it's out of stock.

Tab S is also a great choice
