Thus, there is a fine mess thins the tz the jungle with the many tablet offerings.
The right brand
a choice of Apple’s iPad, the tablet with the Google Android software, Microsoft Surface 2 and the Kindle Fire tablet from Amazon. The current iPads are the most expensive (from 389 euros for the mini, from 479 euros for the larger Air), but also offer the most. For example, in the journal are the chip leaderboard four iPads forward. Most enticing alternative is Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX, from 229 euros significantly cheaper. The Android Tablets can be found in all price ranges starting at 100 EUR ordinary to good equipment. For Microsoft speaks mainly because of the lack little app.
The right iPad
For smartphones the competition is on par long. But with the Tablets Apple has the edge still well ahead. Reason, in addition to the elegant aluminum design and ease of use above all the apps. There are 475 000 programs specifically for the iPad. And even on the purchase, you get a free one all-inclusive package, from the photo program iPhoto to office software iWork.
The new iPad mini (7.9 inches) with a sharp Retina screen is technically now on par with the iPad Air (9.7 inches), which Apple has slimmed down to 180 grams. The tz preferred the handy mini, the screen is big enough for all purposes. Best Buy is why the iPad mini retina with 32 GB of memory, unsubsidized for 479 euros. The old mini (from 289 euros), and the iPad 2 (from 379 euros), both with unschärferem shade, remain in the offer. But their technology is obsolete, at these prices the competition offers more.
The right Kindle Fire
Because Amazon has to earn his tablets no money, but only later on with downloading, the Kindles are spectacularly low. The older Fire HD 7 inch you already get for 99 euros. But here is the storage capacity of 8 GB clearly too small. Much more fun to make the new HDX models, the tz has just tested. Conclusion: Excellent Tablets with crackling sharp screens and lightning-fast inner life. Design, operation and app selection can not compete with the iPad though. But for that you save a lot of money. There are two sizes: 7 inches from 229 euros and 8.9 inches from 379 euros. The tz recommends the Kindle Fire HDX with 7-inch screen, 32 GB, unsubsidized for 269 euros.
The Right Android Tablet
A not quite dewy Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 already received around 130 euros. Google’s new Nexus 7 (sold under google.de / nexus) offers speed and a first-class screen from super low 229 euros. When the chip Nexus 7 is the best non-Apple tablet. Very popular are Samsung’s Galaxy Note Tablets (from 300 euros), on which you can do with a pen notes. Many of the Android tablets are top notch, in terms of the Apps you need against the iPad but make compromises.
The right equipment
16GB of memory are simply all tablets too little. High resolution movies and photos need lots of space, and some apps swallow 1 GB and more. Therefore, you should treat yourself to the 32 GB variants. Even more storage needs but hardly anyone. For most users, the Wi-Fi models range from no additional mobile. At home and in the office you usually also have Wi-Fi available anyway. And the move with a pinch the so-called tethering. Here, the tablet uses the mobile wireless connection on your smartphone, iPad & Co. go piggyback on the internet. Without LTE mobile you save when buying around 100 euros and need no further data contract. Jörg Heinrich
