[TriLUG] Android Tablet advice.

[Matt Pusateri]

Thanks everyone, I was hoping for more hardware specs recommendations, like you want X processor and X memory to run Android 4.x or otherwise it will be dog slow, etc.  I've got a iPad first gen that crawls.  Fortunately I didn't pay for it :).

My concern is that I haven't really been following hardware/software in this area, and don't want to buy a under powered device.   I know it's a fine line, you get what you pay for, so if I buy cheap I get cheap.   So what specs am I looking for?  Ideally I'd like it to perform well now, and with the next couple of Android updates if possible. Probably going for a 7" tablet, maybe a 10" if I can find the right balance of performance and price.
