Hey guys, looking for $350 tablet.  I don't mind going refurbished.  I see that I can get a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 or a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 refurbished for around that price.  What should I get?  I am leaning towards the 10.1, however I like the density and 8" size as well.  Any one have an 8 and 10.1" and prefer one over the other?

I personally really want the Tab S. Most people are gonna recommend the Nexus 7 but the screen on that Tab S is amazing.

I would say the Note 10.1, an iPad 4 or a Dell Venue 11 Pro (if you can stretch that far) would be a pretty solid bet.

Nvidia Shield Tablet. 

 

 

 

Nexus, Shield Tablet.

 

Considering OP is looking at 8-10 inch tablets at the moment, I think it would be safe to assume that he wants a larger screen.

Only suggested because it has a 8 inch screen

 

I guess then the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 with the intel atom processor, although it is refurbished.

I think I am going towards a 10 inch tablet now, I just think I'm gonna want that more.  Most likely not going to get anything better than a refurbished Note?(Unless the nexus 9 is crazy good and comes out soon)  I really like the Shield Tablet, but again, bigger screen.
