$350 Tablet

[Overload]

What would everyones reccomendations be for a tablet in the $350 range?

Looking for something that'll be used in lectures primarily but also for content consumption. Needs to be light and rugged as I'll be carrying it around most of the time. Idealy I want a high res screen but if everything else suits I could survive with a more regular resolution.

Thanks guys

Nexus 7 Gen 2 or Surface RT

When you say used in lectures do you mean typing notes or writing them via digitizer pen/stylus

Kindle Fire HDX? 8.9 inches. http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Fire-HDX-Display-Wi-Fi/dp/B00BHJRYYS/ref=sr_tr_sr_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1380425514&sr=8-2&keywords=kindle+fire+hdx

You should be able to install custom ROM if you are into such kind of stuff. But this is high res.

.

Great suggestion, actually hadn't seen the HDX yet but unfortunately I need something relatively soon.

Surface RT is definitely worth looking at. I believe you can get them now for $350.

surface 2 is worth checking out (when its here). It will have a full HD screen and have the tegra 4 so it should be good. however i am still iffy about the app market.

Hate to post what others said but another vote for Nexus 7. It's a great little tablet.

Nexus 10 or Nexus 7Gen2.

 

Do you want 10" 2560x1600 screen or 7" 1920x1200 screen?

 

Nexus 10 has front facing speakers, 7 does not.

Nexus 10 has LED flash, 7 does not.

Nexus 7 should be slightly faster than Nexus 10.

Nexus 7 or a refurbished Ultrabook (they go as low as $350.) I tried Surface RT and it can't do anything I ask of it

if you want to do anything productive get a notebook

 

watch this before you think about getting a surface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXe8v7GvVic

 

you can buy an RT for $350 if you want the keyboard thats another $100, you can get a brand new Acer S3 Ultrabook for $400
