One of the kids tablets needs replacing as only 4.4 android. I don't want to spend too much as the kids are still pretty young. I tried a Huawei T3 tablet as a starter but ended up taking it back as keeped crashing watching Netflix. Looking at a Samsung 7 inch tablet but only has 5.1 android or the Lenovo 8 inch which is 7.0. I think. Is it worth considering the Samsung of too out dated? . Is the Lenovo a good option? .All I need is for the kids to play games and watch lightbox Netflix ect. Any suggestions ?

How about an Amazon Fire Tablet? We have a couple here and for the money you can't beat them. Nice screen and seem to work well. PB tech have them but am not sure if you can play with them before buying.

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

I might pop down and have a look I wasn't sure if they had all the android apps. The other option is a new Samsung 8 inch but they are nearly 400. Thanks for the suggestion

Installing the Google Play store on them is pretty straightforward. This should give you pretty much everything you need.

The Lenovo Tablet is a good option, I bought one & am very happy with it.

I think its the same hardware as the Amazon Tab, but without being crippled like the Fire .

This one is the same price but with better specs.

We recently purchased the Lenovo 8" rather than the Samsung after testing both in landscape mode.
Charger port in a bad central position and try to avoid those right hand side fixed position touch buttons!

The lenovo is becoming the leading option over the Samsung thanks for the advice

Fire HD 10 is pretty good for the price (US$150), 10inches, full HD. You'd have to get from US and Youshop it though. By the time it gets here it'll be about the same price as the Lenovo mentioned. Occasionally they reduce the price to US$100.
