    The thing about Chromebooks is they cut costs to the bone to get to the cheap price point hence a recall of overheating chargers on some current models.

    Faulty charger yes but due to Chromebooks being cheap? I think I recall Apple had it's own issue with overheating charging cables not that long ago and Apple wouldn't typically be tagged with cheap.

    As if Apple doesn't have the same problem with iPhones?! My 3G was such an awful experience, I would never own another iDevice again. I haven't heard so much about issues on iPads, but its pretty easy to find a lot of evidence of people complaining about it on iPhone (If you google "iPhone slows down" the second choice "iPhone slows down over time". There's also plenty of anecdotal evidence. Even if this happens with my Nexus 7, I can upgrade it more frequently due to its much lower cost. Sure it has some problems, but apple has hardly been a leader in the smaller tablet space.

    Nope.

    Great, thanks for stopping by, pick up a complimentary peppermint candy on the way out (Take only one), and never come back.

    And somehow a google search is proof of something, huh.

    Really? That’s funny. Nexus 5 is as or more expensive than the iPhone.

    Shut up and go away. If you’re going to troll, don’t, but at least don’t insult our intelligences with this tripe.

    Proof that iPads suffer the same problems with iPhones and getting slow over time, it seems to be more a problem with upgrades to software (that don't appear to be sufficiently tested for anything but the latest hardware).

    This thread has has 288 THOUSAND vies and over 400 replies, if thats not indicative of a real problem, I'm not sure what is. Look, its facts!

    Oh, look, a “discussions.apple.com” link. That’s certainly proof of anything¡

     

    ….it seems to be more a problem with upgrades to software…


     

    NO REALLY. JUST LIKE EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE EVER WRITTEN. If you think a 15 year old computer is going to run modern software as fast as it ran its original software, you’ve a serious misconception about how technology works.

     
    …sufficiently tested…

     

    Now THERE you go. THAT’S how you troll. It has to be subtle.

     

    …if thats not indicative of a real problem, I’m not sure what is.


     

    Well, facts would be. Any sort of meaningful evidence beyond “views”, I’d think. This, however, isn’t.

     

    Look, its facts!


     

    Where?! WHERE?! I want his autograph! I’m a huge fan.

    Confused in choosing which tablet to buy?  I'm looking for a tablet to buy, before I'm planning to get Nexus 7 but with all these reviews so confused.  Any suggestions which one is the best one on the market with a decent price?

    This is an Apple oriented website, so you are likely to get iPad Air or iPad Mini as an answer. With only one post and your signature points to a website advertising a book, I do not suppose this is a form of spam is it?

    Give him the opportunity of a second post at least. Perfectly reasonable first one.

    Nope. It’s a spambot. Not a real person.
