I use an Asus Transformer at work. It is one of the company’s higher end models. It has a Tegra 2 3D processor, which is great for gaming. However, I do not use it for gaming that much. I found that, because of the mini-HDMI output, it is easy to use it as a media player. The price is kind of steep if I use it solely for the media player function. I set out to find a low cost Android tablet for my personal use. My criteria are: Android 4.0, mini-HDMI output, USB port and 7 inch display.
Here is a short list I found. I like the NOVO7’s low price and large storage. However, the company has no US service center. It would be a hassle if you need to contact their support.
Which one you think is the best? I’ll update the list once I find more tablets meeting my criteria.
