Apple's new $700 iPad Mini is better in almost every way than the Lenovo Tab One, which is roughly the same size.
But the Tab One cost me just $100 last week on sale at Best Buy. I use it for movies on airplanes and on the couch at home. It's more than good enough.
@cstross All true, but I spent hours watching the other day on a 12-hour flight with no eyestrain. It's good enough. (The resolution difference on a screen that small is less significant than it sounds. Brightness is a bigger issue (for me).
@dangillmor that is why I will never be an Apple customer.

The Tab One screen is 1340 x 800 pixels, and 480 nits brightness.
The iPad Mini A20 screen is 2316 x 1512 pixels, and 1100 nits brightness. Also nano-textured anti-glare surface.
One of these things is not like the other, and I have bad enough eyesight that a poor screen is a deal-breaker for me.
