Nexus 10 should be a great buy.

Me personally want the ASUS TF700T since I've tested the TF300T and i loved it! :D

What are you going to be using the tablet for? I have the iPad for media consumption and web surfing and I have a nook tablet for my ebooks. If you're going to be doing more serious stuff on it I would wait to see what Haswell windows 8 tablets bring to the market.

Well I'm on a binge on recommending Sony products today so how about the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, it's got a fairly modern processor and probably the best 10" Android tablet until the new Asus Transformer comes out.

Otherwise there's nothing wrong the iPad so if you want that it'll serve you well

I suggest you wait, there really are not many good tablets out there unless you look at the Samsung Ativ Q which can dual boot to either android or Windows 8, not the crappy RT version but the full one. It also has got impressive specs, the display is at 3200x1800, Haswell core i5 with 4400 HD graphics and 4GB of ram.

Actually from what i saw i believe android is virtualized inside of windows 8.

So i is not dual boot? I am gutted.

Yeah it looked like they made it a Windows 8 app because they launch it with a live tile and hit the home key to get back to Windows. 

 

So it is just virtualisation? Rather get a surface pro and do it with that.
