At last: A sensibly-priced, quality tablet that comes with a proper instructio­n book that makes using it a doddle – custom written for this very model

-

There are two reasons why you might want to consider this particular tablet… and two reasons why you might not.

Firstly, if you’re after a sensibly-priced, quality tablet, this might be perfect for you.

It’s not the very cheapest tablet ever made, true – there are cheaper. (But I wouldn’t recommend buying the very cheapest – you end up with a screen that scratches easily, waiting ages for it to do anything and a screen that’s hard to see.)

Want to spend £969 on a tablet? Me neither!

On the other hand, for most people, you don’t need a very fancy profession­al model, either. Sure, if you want the latest, top end model, be my guest. But you’ll pay through the nose for the privilege – I’ve seen £709, £769 or even “from £969”. Ouch!

No, for most people, what you need is something sensible that works well, does what it should and lets you browse the web, check emails, make video calls, do your shopping online, maybe play a few games and so on – which is exactly what this tablet is.

(But if what you want is the very cheapest or the very top end model, this isn’t for you. Just be prepared to dig deep for a top end… or to give up in frustratio­n if you buy the cheapest.)

The second big reason (I haven’t seen this before)

I said two reasons why you might want this tablet though... and here’s the other: it comes with a proper manual – an instructio­n book, specifical­ly written for this very model.

Now, I’d agree that shouldn’t be particular­ly unusual. But I haven’t seen any other tablets that come with a proper manual, specifical­ly written for them. Not one. Sometimes you get a little flimsy bit of folded up paper that’s next to no use. That’s not what you get here: this is a proper, 77-page A4 book, with pictures of the screen showing you exactly where to tap, swipe and so on.

It’s different from your typical instructio­n manual in another way too. It’s written in nice straightfo­rward, simple language – plain English. It doesn’t assume you already know everything, like most techies seem to. This makes using your tablet simple and easy.

No surprise – it’s by the Helpful Book Company and that’s what we do – write books that explain technologi­cal gadgets simply and clearly. We’ve been doing it since 2005.

“It comes with a manual that makes it so easy to use”

The book starts with the basics, like turning it on, starting apps and switching between them. It covers taking photos, sending emails, downloadin­g new apps and the stuff most people want to do with their tablets, all explained nice and simply. It doesn’t cover the confusing “techie” things some books can’t resist – just what you actually need!

How much for this tablet (and the included manual)? Just £189.99

A lot less than “from £969” or even than £709! Probably not the very cheapest tablet you could find... but as I’ve said, the very cheapest really can be a case of “buy cheap, buy twice”.

Free proper case, Free fast delivery and Free 60-day returns

You also get a FREE case, specifical­ly designed for this model, so all the holes are in exactly the right place for the camera and buttons. That way it’s nicely protected. Oh, and the case acts as a handy stand, too, if you want to prop it up at the breakfast table while you eat your toast and marmalade! Worth £18.99 but yours for free!

There’s fast free shipping (within the UK) – we use a quick, tracked service and we'll despatch your order the day we receive it (if we get it before 2pm). We also offer an extended free returns period of 60 days, if you decide it’s not for you. Not that I expect for one minute you’ll want to send it back once you’ve got it... but if you do, that’s your choice. (We’ll pay the postage for that, too.) Of course, there’s a full year guarantee too, in case anything should go wrong with it.
