BUY IT FROM £159 for the 16GB model from the Google Play Store
Google made its tablet debut earlier this year with the Nexus 7, and despite stiff competition from the likes of Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, is shifting close to a million units per month. There's good reason for these impressive numbers: the Nexus 7 is the ideal entry-level tablet. It’s affordable, beautifully-made and runs on the latest Android software - 4.1 Jelly Bean, which gives users access to a raft of nifty features and apps via Google’s Play Store (the Android equivalent to iTunes).
Apple iPad 4
The original and, some would say the best, Apple's iPad is undeniably the most popular tablet around. The fourth generation model is better than ever, pairing an incredibly high resolution 2048x1536, 9.7in display with a dual-core A6x processor. Quad-core graphics make it up to twice as fast as last year's model in games, and UK customers now have the option of 4G mobile broadband as well as Wi-Fi models. Storage capacities range from 16Gb to 64GB, so you shouldn't run out of room in a hurry, although the iTunes App store has such a massive selection you might fill it up faster than you think.
