Comparison of best 7" Tablets - Page 3

Not much of a selection of cases for the Toshiba. frown.gif

Either the Vangoddy (which I ended up ordering) or the Toshiba original which frankly looks like a poor design. The Vangoddy cost me $41 after shipping, the Toshiba was $40 + Shipping. Not sure what Toshiba was thinking with this design. Anyhow, hopefully Blurex or Koretech come out with a decent case for the tablet eventually.

Updated chart on first page.

I got rid of the Acer A100 as it is being discontinued. Added the Kindle HD Fire (7" only). Added a few updated details.

Nice to see they provided a micro HD out on the Kindle Fire HD although for some strange reason, they forgot the micro-SD slot...

The Toshiba AT270 is currently on sale for $299 on a couple of US sites making it easily the best choice in the $200-$300 price range. Not sure how long it will be at that price.

Added updated specs for the Nabi 2

I'm waiting to see the kobo arc to change my kobo vox.
I really like the 7 inch format/price, but I really want to try 10 inch...

It's funny, I had a couple of 10" tablets (and still have an IPad 2). They are great for video and web browsing but I find them far too bulky for reading for extended periods.

I had a couple of Kobo Vox's at one point as well. That is one line that needs a hardware refresh (and hopefully a much updated android OS, 2.3 is brutal).

My Toshiba AT270 so far is the best compromise between sizes that I have found.

The kobo arc is coming for that.
I'm waiting to see if it's better executed than the vox (which had and still have lots of issue).

Wow, the Toshiba AT270 is pricey.

It's the super AMOLED Plus screen that makes it expensive.

Mind you, it's on sale in the US through a couple of different sites for $299 currently. That's only $40 more than the Nexus for a much better tablet.

Bestbuy has the Nabi 2 in stock. If my daughter were a bit younger it would be a great gift. Micro HDMI out, Tegra 3 and a Micro SD slot. Pretty solid hardware for a kid focused tablet.
