Best Android Tablet for the money

At the office we have a few and the ones I like the most are the Asus Transformer and the Nexus.

For reading books, etc I like and use a Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 plus. Samsung doesn't update system software often if that is important, maybe twice in three years. For games, data entry and video watching I I like and use an ASUS 10.1 MEMO. I haven't barely tried 8" tablets, if they fit your hand that might do for reading, but 7" size may fit in your pockets slightly better or however you plan to carry it.
I would recommend a resolution above 1024 x 640 for 7" size and 1280 x 800 or above for 10" size. Your taste and eyes may vary. If all your doing is reading documents and reading e-mail, and lite web surfing a dual core cpu is fine.
If you are into gaming, encrypting your data or other things that makes the processor a quad core cpu would probably be better. If you can borrow several of different sizes and and the like it may help you narrow in on what is best for you. This is not a one size fits all situation.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 which I've been happy with. It's not the latest any more, of course. Not necessarily the very best tablet, but very reasonably priced, so I found it a good value. You can get the newer tab 3 version for less than $150 on sale. I like the 7 inch size; it's big enough to see, but still fits in my pocket. You can get the 10" for a good price too.

Some people may think the $ 800 Samsung Pro is the best tablet for the money because of the huge screen. While other love the smaller Kindle Fire because of it cost. I myself like the Samsung Galaxy Note because of the big screen and the pen (it was around 500).

Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 is worth Android Tablet for your money, which is world's slimmest, and lightest waterproof tablet with its own specifications.

For me Sony Xperia Z Tablet is the best,as i am using it , it is fulfilling their paunch line of being Faster,lighter and more colourful, it has great vivid display
