So the topic was previously about getting rid if my phone and tablet for a Note 2, but after using Splashtop to play a desktop PC game on my tablet...I definitely want to keep one for the screen size. Unfortunately, the tablet (Toshiba Thrive 10" 32GB) isn't fast enough to play games adequately smooth (and I know its not my connection as same game/settings are much smoother on my Galaxy Nexus). Seeing how much they go for and all the accessories I have and recently purchased, I can easily get at least $300 for it, maybe as much as $400 if I'm lucky.
Anyway, I'm definitely looking for a powerful, quad-core tablet here, and I know the Nexus 7 is the go-to tablet to recommend, but I may want something a bit bigger in screen size (although the 32GB version at the $250 price sure is nice...). That being said, it doesn't have to be 1080p or have amazing viewing angles - basically as long as its not an utterly bad screen.
Right now, I'm leaning toward a Note 10.1 16GB 3G since it can double as a phone, and the pen input would be nice (although no real use as I don't take handwritten notes outside of school and don't do any graphic design and whatnot), but for that same ~$600 I can pick up an ASUS Infinity 64GB or a 32GB plus keyboard dock. And $600 is a lot for something when I already have a tablet that can do basically everything I want it to other than remote desktop gaming.
The Sony Xperia Tablet S doesn't really appeal to me, but feel free to try and sell me on it, whenever it goes back on sale, since I don't know what it has over the competition.
Acer Iconia tablets don't appeal to me when ASUS seems to be the better option a majority of the time.
I wouldn't mind the Toshiba Excite 10 or especially the 7.7, but the lack of support has me worried (although Toshiba seems good with support - granted, it took a while, but the Thrive 7, a tablet that sold poorly, still got an ICS update recently).
Any suggestions?
