Question

ipad 2 vs Galaxy tab 10"

Mar 19, 2014 10:19AM PDT

I'm looking to buy a tablet and I'm looking to spend $400 or less on it hopefully. I've been looking around and I have seen these 2 in local stores and they seem pretty comparable. I'm wondering if there's any advice as to which one to get? I"m also open to others but I'm looking to stay under that price if at all possible.

You want to know which is best between iPad2 or Galaxy tab 10". Its my suggestion go for Samsung Galaxy tab 3.10.1 whose costs is around $329.99 which is nearby your budget. It offers thinnest and lightest large screen to users with its unique features. Cool Shocked
