Tablet Advice For 11yr Old

[Frosties]

Hiya fellas,


Looking for advice on a replacement tablet after my lad's Hudl (original version) died. No screen display, tried resetting etc.


Think I've got it down to 2 below:

or

Now he only uses it for gaming and surfing so for me it should have :- a decent screen ppi (8" or bigger), 2GB Ram, 16GB storage, around 1.5GHz processor and £250 tops. Hudl was pretty similar to above spec I think.


The iPad I know is very popular but is it justified? Do you notice the 1.3GHz as being slower than a 1.5GHz? Is it really restrictive being tied to Apple as opposed to Android?


I'd prefer to buy from John Lewis due to their no quibble 2yr warranty.


Any advice on above or alternatives appreciated  :thumbup
