Nexus 7 get the cheapest one, they need to do their work not watch movies all day.

Waterkloof Afrikaans school will be launching e-learning for the grade 10's this year and they have recommended the following tablets:
Samsung P3100 7” or Asus Google Nexus 7”

Most of their books will be available in an e-format

Make sure you get a decent quality tablet whatever the brand - as far as I'm concerned the nexus 7 does not qualify in this regard - so it lasts the year.

Whats wrong with the nexus?

thank you boys. R9000 is too expensive but these devices will worth bearing in mind when their PCs become outdated. Stricken thanks for this info- it's something i'll have to look out for when buying.

will all operating systems be compatible with the south african school books which are supposedly being made available online?

More than likely they will be either mobi or epub, all the tablets will have apps to read those types of files.

Bwana's nexus7 grievances are well documented. I never had any issues with mine but then I only had it for about 2 days.
