1, iPad mini (269 pounds)

The iPad mini is the most undisclosed product in the field of technology and is constantly appearing on the Japan Forum and China’s news website. However, the excitement that the product brings to people is enormous. Because of this, many savvy consumers prefer to wait for the product to come out. As a result, Apple’s market share in the tablet PC market has fallen by more than 15%.

iPad mini November 2 finally listed, equipped with aluminum housing and glass screen, internal and iPad 2 the same, 16GB Wi-Fi models starting at 269 pounds.

Before the iPad mini was listed, Google Nexus was the most complete owner of the 7-inch tablet crown, and the Nexus 7 was the first device to use the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, equipped with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB of memory, And obviously cheaper than iPad mini, 16GB version of the price of 159 pounds. The 32GB Wi-Fi version costs £199, and the 3G Wi-Fi version costs £239.

The Valley Singer head has a very good product, and today developers need to recognize this and create more and more applications for larger screens.

3. Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ (£159)

The third name deserved to be awarded to Nonet HD+ tablet PCs by Barnes & Noble, an online book retailer in the United States. Barnes & Noble may not be a household name in the UK, but its new 7-inch tablet is one of the best products on the market. NOOK HD+ is equipped with a 7-inch screen, a resolution of 1440x800, higher than the iPad mini, more importantly, the product has some smart features, such as the use of multiple user accounts.

Nook may be a perfect home tablet.

4, Amazon's Kindle Fire HD (159 pounds)

The Kindle Fire brand debuted this year with a 7-inch HD screen, dual-core processor, and access to Amazon’s huge content directory through a customized, Android-based operating system. As Barnes & Noble did for Nook HD, Amazon has developed its own software and has removed access to Google Play. All content and applications are provided by the retail giant itself, which means that with Nexus 7 and other Android tablets In contrast, the Kindle Fire is relatively lacking in applications and games, but the Kindle can provide a large number of books, magazines and newspapers, which is unmatched by other devices, and based on this, the device can also be among the top five best 7-inch tablets. .
