Tablets – Buyers Guide

Brands to choose from

Konka tablets have established a growing market share in New Zealand in recent years and are a popular, affordable, entry level option. Like their Android peers, they feature quality components but the screens aren’t as large or as high resolution as their competitors. A Konka tablet is a great option for a family that wants to buy a young child his or her first tablet.

They have all the google apps you would expect to have, access to google play store and also use basically the same Android platform as Samsung and Lenovo.

Our Lenovo tablets are usually available (depending on demand) with 7, 8 and 10 inch screens. They have high quality components, good battery life and a range of apps.

We have Samsung 8 and 10 inch tablets plus the S6 light. The S6 light comes with a stylus pen, where the premium range S7 tablet includes the ultra-low latency S Pen, 120Hz display, keyboard and keyboard covers. Similar to the iPad Pro, the S6 can almost be considered a laptop replacement - it’s a step up in storage, battery life and screen quality – it competes very well with the iPad Pro series.

Chrome Tablets, like Chrome laptops, use the Chrome Operating System which is browser based and app based. It has a detachable design and comes with a keyboard that attaches to a tablet screen. Similar to a 2-in-1 laptop, you can use a Chrome Tablet like a laptop or just remove the keyboard and use it as a tablet with an impressive 10.1 inch screen.

Graphic Tablets

Graphics tablets or pen tablets are used for digital drawing, retouching photos, animation, design, 3D sculpting and a whole lot more.

Unlike your mouse a graphics tablet gives you the benefits of pressure sensitivity. This means like using a real pen, the harder you press, the thicker the line gets, or the stronger the response from the software. Many tablets come with multi touch as well, which means you can use your fingers to navigate, scroll and zoom when using your computer.

Accessories

Our Tablet and iPads accessories range includes universal keyboards, keyboards covers, replacement stylus pens, screen protectors and a large variety of chargers. If you lose something important for your device, we’ve got you covered for a replacement.
