Barnes & Noble NOOK HD+ Tablet with 32GB Memory BNTV600

it can now access the Google Play store and all the apps within. it has a 1920 x 1280 screen resolution. the number one knock against it is no camera but i'm sure yall own several devices with cameras.

this is an interesting alternative to say an iPad Mini / Nexux 7 price range tablet but it has a 9 inch screen.

i was looking and its the same price at Target now who has a better return policy. i kinda want a tablet but i'd likely only use it for in bed web browsing. seems like it would be fine for that.

I got the 16 GB one from Target for $180 with my target visa discount. The device is straight. I'm posting from it now. I feel like its too big though probably should have got the 7 inch one.

Word of warning the HD+ only has one speaker on the back

edit: after using the device for an hour i'm satisfied with the purchase. it will do all the things i wanted it for decent enough and for $180 its about what i expected. it does have a certain level of lagginess to it. very minimal but noticeable. i watched a few youtube videos and downloaded a couple apps on the google play store. i didn't root the device and since it has google play for now i probably won't.

i played this rpg on it that i bought and it ran great.

i used the manga reader and downloaded a few chapters of manga and it works good for that. downloaded a few ebooks and its solid there too. the lag mostly comes into play on google chrome for some reason especially when multitasking.
