Finding the Best Small Tablet

When you decide to sell your iPad online and shift to a smaller one, you may be afraid that there are not too many options. But on the contrary, there are actually a number of choices from many manufacturers. French manufacturer Archos and bookstore giant Barnes and Noble are just some of the firms that have their own versions of the small tablet. 

If you have plans to sell used iPad to shift to a smaller tablet, here are some of the more popular options you have:

Google Nexus 7 ($199) 

This 7-inch tablet is touted to be the challenger that iPad has long been waiting for. Google and Asus paired up to produce this tablet PC that has been reviewed (at least initially) as reliable and fast. It already runs on the latest Android Jelly Bean (the first device to run on this operating system) and comes pre-installed with a couple of apps from Google Play. Some of the setbacks of this tablet PC include that it has a weak display contrast, comes with a limited storage option (does not have provisions for USB or SD card connectivity) and there are not many Android apps to choose from. 

 
Kindle Fire ($199) 

This is another 7-inch tablet available in the market today. This is made by Amazon as an e-book reader with a few other extras snuck in. It’s got a good solid built feel that will make you think that it is a good value for your money. Using it is easy as the interface is very user-friendly. It also has a great pre-installed web browser, the Silk, which makes purchasing books from the Amazon site really easy. There are a few setbacks though, one of which is the lack of a camera. It is also reported that it performs erratically probably because it still runs on Android Gingerbread. Also, storage is limited as well as the apps since it does not have access to the Android market. 

 
Samsung Galaxy ($199.99) 

This tablet PC still belongs to the 7-inch market. It has a nice solid feel to it. As with the other similar-sized tablet PCs, it is comfortable to use yet the screen is big enough to appreciate most apps. It runs on Android 2.2 which is common among many tablet PCs. Since it has Wi-Fi and 3G-network access, you are sure always to be connected to the Internet. Since it has 3G access, you can actually use it as a phone. You just have to be wary of the lagging performance as well as the weak battery of the unit.

Think hard before making your decision to sell your iPad and shift to these tablet PCs. If you are someone who is not that particular about screen size, these smaller tablets should satisfy you, as they are handier and less of a hassle to carry around. Otherwise, if you are into lots of detail of what you are watching on your tablet PC, then it might be better for you to stick with a tablet PC with a larger screen.
