Tablets have now become the number one choice for the perfect Christmas gift. So which device is the best buy for you in terms of price and specifications?
Market experts predict this festive season, tablets will see a record-breaking sales hike with manufacturing giants fighting for a spot in the race to top Christmas sales.
Tablet biggies have been dishing out attractive deals, offers and discounts to attract consumers in their direction for Christmas. According to a report by the Guardian, eBay reported the 32GB Google Nexus 7 to be its top-selling tablet while reports have also come in mentioning a huge number of sales of Amazon's Kindle Fire HD.
"We tend to see about a 200% increase in December on iPads," said a spokesman for eBuyer. "With the release this year of the iPad mini we're projecting more of the same."
For all those who are confused about which device to buy this season, here's a comparison on which one would be the best buy for you and how cheap they are available.
iPad mini: While Apple doesn't offer discounts and customers usually end up paying headline prices, the design and "content ecosystem" of Apple's iPad mini is what makes it worth buying. So if price is not an issue, the iPad mini could be your best buy.
Kindle Fire HD: If reading and listening to music is basically all you do on your tablet, the Kindle Fire HD would be your best bet. With various discounts offered by Amazon, the device is available at a reasonably cheaper rate.
Google Nexus 7: The Google Nexus 7 has been touted by many as an "all rounder." It provides its users with nearly as many applications as the iPad Mini and comes a lot cheaper than the Apple device. The only drawback when compared to it would be the storage space, while the iPad mini goes up to 64GB, the Google Nexus 7 comes with a maximum of 32GB in-built storage space.
