I am looking at buying my first tablet, budget around £250 for a 10" screen model. I could spend more but I am not sure that I need the extra speed to be honest. I am not interested in an Ipad and like the idea of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as I like my Galaxy S2 phone. It's main use will be web browsing in the house and possibly watching the odd film if I take it somewhere. One review I read stated that this device can stutter with 1080p playback. I am not bothered about watching 1080p on a device so small but I have quite a lot of 1080p films on my HTPC and could not be bothered having to re-encode them or whatever down to 720p. I could stretch to the Nexus 10 but the lack of no SD micro slot puts me off a little. I just want something with a good screen that is not shite to use. I am not bothered if it is not the fastest device at all. I just wondered if there are any other decent alternatives around the £250 mark as I haven't a clue. Are there any tab 2 users that can clarify the 1080p video playback of MP4 or MKV files please?
