Which is the best pc tablet for the least price?

[marlakay]

for my husband but we are on tight budget. He is retired and not techie, not on FB or any blogs like me.

Just would use it for words with friends, checking email and internet when traveling and maybe netflix if I can find one cheap enough that will do it.

I have ipad since i have a mac, but he has a HP pc windows 7 and I should get a tablet that can sync with his.

Hoping to get something $150 or less if possible.

I thought it would be easy until I went to Amazon and saw how many are out there. My husband gets frustrated easy with his touch cell phone so I was afraid to pick something that wasn't easy to work for him.

Here's a direct link for your inquiry of "tablet under $150":

Hopefully this will give some idea for further inquiry

5. i'm really liking my kindle fire..

i got it for xmas. don't magine i'll be using it much as an e-reader. i've set it up as more of a tablet, and have been sideloading apps from my android phone. i've installed gmail and the android market, though the market force closes and i haven't been able to successfully download any apps. was considering rooting it, but that would prevent me from accessing amazon's content.

6. Kindle Fire vs. Nook Tablet: Which Should You Buy?

$150 is probably not realistic right now. Obviously the Apple is out and so is the Samsung so you're left with one of these two: The $200 Amazon Kindle Fire or the $250 Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet. Any lower than that and you're getting into ereader territory.

Here's an excruciatingly detailed comparison from pcworld:

Which is a better buy? I tried both for a wide range of tasks--reading books, buying and watching movies, listening to music, browsing the Web and answering email--and found that each has its own strengths and weaknesses. As a result, the right one for you may depend on what you want to do with it. (I pick my favorite for each task below.)

If you're in the market for a color e-reader, the Nook Tablet has the clear advantage, with its superior layouts and more readable, less glary display. But if you're committed to buying and renting media from Amazon, the Kindle Fire may be what you're looking for, despite its shortcomings.

To bring their tablets in at a relatively low price, Amazon and Barnes & Noble had to make sacrifices. As a result, neither tablet matches the versatility of the Apple iPad 2, or even the capabilities of a well-appointed Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Though the Nook Tablet has slightly better specs than the Kindle Fire (including 1GB of memory versus 512MB), they didn't deliver dramatically different performance, and both have their share of glitches.

But a tablet's overall performance may not be as important as itd ability to do what you want it to do well. Here's my take on which tablet is better at various tasks.
