Ok, techie people, a little help
Since it's that time of year again, we're looking at presents and Beloved, very kindly, wants to upgrade my tablet.
The thing is, I'm not convinced that a newer tablet is especially necessary given my current - so I need people more technically minded than I to counter Beloved's shiny addiction.
My tablet is
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
One of these: http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/galaxy-note/tablets/GT-N8010EAABTU
Beloved is thinking of the new google Nexus 9
One of these: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_9_32_GB_Wi_Fi_Indigo_Black?id=nexus_9_black_32gb_wifi
To my untrained eye, the difference between the two appears to be pretty negligible - and certainly not worth £399.
Other things to note:
The smaller screen doesn't bother me
I do not need 3G, 4G or any number of Gs.
My current tablet DOES have a damage screen (all the colours are wonky after being dropped) which means I want to get this one repaired anyway... which may end up cheaper.
By all means do run in and say "no, forget Samsung and google, you need this one!" but I do prefer Android over IOs and Windows
So techie people, help me out - is Beloved being wise and prudent as well as generous? Or is his shiny addiction overcoming reasonable common sense?
