The candidates are the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, LG G Pad 8.4 GPE, Nexus 7 and the Apple iPad Mini with Retina Display. Battery life isn't too much of an issue, as I'll mainly be using it at home. Storage also isn't really an issue. I want it to be fast,fluid and intuitive and being able to browse the web while watching YouTube videos is a huge bonus for me. I'll also consider the 10" variants of each (Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, Nexus 10, iPad Air) if you think that would be better and back it up. Thanks!
I would not get anything other than the Nexus 7 (2013) at this point. Maybe an LG G Pad if I was desperate (though I would probably end up ROMming it).
I like the Nexus 10 a lot, but it is about to undergo a refresh...which means the new one will be much better hardware and the old one will be much cheaper. The old one is still a great tablet though....my boss has one. The display on that thing is still excellent, even by 2014 standards.
