Saw this this morning too. It is a great deal. 4gb of ram on an Android tablet is hard to come by... Talk less at this price point.

looks good, but mtk probably means near zero chance of updates any mediatek based stuff I've had has been very good but has had no real updates. heat added as is top spec for money!

Why would it having MediaTek inside have any bearing on whether or not the device gets updates? Were the devices with MediaTek you cite produced by Asus? If not, why is you experience with them relevant to an Asus device?

Recently bought one at £299 and it's a cracking tablet. I highly recommend it. Great price as its a brand new model.

I'm no expert but have been looking for a replacement to my 2012 Nexus 7 I'm still undecided over a 7/8" and a 10" so am dragging my feet. In the reviews I've read this is a higher performer than the Samsung Tab S2 so I would imagine the CPU and Graphics to be way above that of the Tab A series. Aside from that this has a metal body, twice the memory (both RAM and ROM) not familiar with the Tab A spec but it also has GPS and a finger print reader and also is stylus compatible all of which are feature the cheaper tablets are usually missing.

Everything. Just look on the net and you'll see... Processor is significantly more powerful, it's got 2-3x the ram, double the storage... The screen is 2k vs whatever is on the tab e.... Bottom line, they're not even close. The direct comparison is the Galaxy Tab S2. Try see if you can find that for £260 anywhere.

Been thinking of upgrading my Nexus 7, this is a nice tablet, quite a bit cheaper than the Pixel C too

Looks good. Can you get a wee bluetooth keyboard with a stand thingy that this would work with?

I have a folding BT keyboard cist about 20 quid from Amazon. Connect to when you snap it open and with a case with folding stand it works a treat.
