Sony Xperia Z Tablet

[Sugar Ape]

Anyone got one? Thoughts on it? And if so, does anyone know how easy it is to read Graphic nove...ok, comics, on it?

[Byrnie]

I bought one. Never read graph....comics on it. But I'm mightily impressed with it.

 

Really fast, processor is superb. It has a full hd screen. Pretty flawless for what I need to use it for.

 

Only downside is I expected the battery life to be better for the price and it is slow to charge too.

Sound, looks perfect for what I want it for so think I'm going to take the plunge. Have you had the bottle to submerge it in water or use it in the bath yet?

[Byrnie]

I have used it in the bath for Spotify, but I wouldn't have the balls to submerge it underwater.

 

It's great for browsing, music, watching movies from an sd card or usb stick. It's really light for it's size and the full hd screen is great. There is also a way of putting flash player on it manually, but I haven't got round to it yet.

 

I got a great cover/stand from eBay for 15euro. I also got a HDMI and an on the go adapter for a few euro each. You can connect a ps3 controller to it as well.

I am thinking of selling my IPAD 3 and getting one of these. Is it worth it?

[Sugar Ape]

I haven't ordered mine yet, but after extensive research it looks the best bet for me by far. The Nexus 10 has slightly better specs, but it doesn't have an option to fit a memory card, which is a deal breaker for me.

 

To be fair, I'm only going to be browsing the net, watching XBMC and Netflix and reading some comics on it. I like the fact it's waterproof as well.

What about word processing and using powerpoint etc on it

[stringvest]

Sony are pulling out of PC and laptop production, hopefully to concentrate on the stuff they used to be really good at - sound and vision. Incidentally, there's a 21 inch android tablet from hp - don't know whether it's any good, but people I know use it. With a Bluetooth keyboard and Microsoft office over the cloud (can't remember what that's called) it becomes a decent cheap PC

I don't know mate as that's something I wouldn't use it for. I'd imagine it's fine for it but some research in Google should tell you.

 

Yeah Stringy, I read they've sold their PC making section off and they're restructuring the TV division. This tablet is meant to he great, as is the phone version, and obviously the PS4, should be the markets they're focusing on.

[redheart]

Any idea how much you would expect to pay for one of these wifi only or wifi + celluar?

[Sugar Ape]

£350 wifi only on amazon. Don't know about the cellular one.

[redheart]

Ok.

 

I have been offered £250 for my IPAD 3, blck, 32 gb. It will be 2 years old in August.

 

Is this a reasonable price

[slimjim75]

I have one for sale if interested. It's this one.

Apologies it was armchairfan.

[redheart]

It would appear that a new Sony Tablet will be announced in the next couple of weeks in Barcelona so I will wait awhile

[Tony Moanero]

Did you get one Ape? Thinking of getting myself, can't find any better alternatives.

[Sugar Ape]

Not yet, just haven't got round to ordering it but I will do soon.

 

Incidentally, the price seems to have gone up on amazon and most places are £380 for it. I'm ordering mine from very.co.uk which has the 16gb version for £350 or the 32gb version at £399. You can also buy now pay later, up to a year, with them at no extra charge if you sign up for an account or pay it in 3 monthly instalments.

I may just do that. Was going get it with littlewoods over the course of a year so Very sounds much easier and cheaper!

[Sugar Ape]

Very and Littlewoods are the same company I think, but Very is cheaper on loads of stuff. I signed up for an account on the internet and without phoning me or anything they gave me an account limit of £3,600!

 

There is normally a £4-5 charge for delivery but everything I've had off them so far has been sound.

[Elite]

I don't think its worth £50 for an extra 16gb.

[Sugar Ape]

Not when you can put an extra 64gb in with a memory card, be cheaper just to buy a memory card.
