Barnes & Noble Nook HD
The Nook offers a 7-inch 1440 x 900 display, alongside a rather modest 1.3GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor. What the Nook really has going for it, however, is the price - at less than €100, it simply can't be beat by the major manufacturers.

Pros: Ultra low cost, MicroSD Card slot, great screen for the price.

Asus Memo Pad HD7
Up next is a compact tablet from Asus. While not necessarily the first name that comes to mind when it comes to compact size tablets, Asus is not the world's third largest tablet maker and Google's prime tablet hardware partner for no reason.The Asus MeMo Pad HD7 offers a quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek processor, 1GB of RAM, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It's a cheaper version of the original Google Nexus 7 (also made by Asus), except that it's running on MediaTek chipset and has a microSD card slot for expanding the limited memory.
Price: $149. Buy here.
Pros: Android 4.2, MicroSD Card slot.
Cons: So-so screen.

Asus Nexus 7 2013
http://www.google.com/nexus/7/The second generation Nexus 7 tablet caused quite a stir at its unveiling this summer, and Google/Asus really went out of their usual ways to give the Nexus 7 a complete and thorough upgrade. The tablet is powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with Adreno 320 GPU, and 2GB of RAM. The Nexus 7 is one of the first tablets to run Android 4.4 KitKat, as well. Plus, it's the only one of our tablet recommendations that weighs below 300 grams. The only real downside is that is has no memory card slot, so you should definitely pay the premium to get the 32GB model.
Price: $199. Buy here.
Pros: Android 4.4, Always update ready, Awesome screen, Light weight.
Cons: No MicroSD card slot.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX
Finally, in terms of raw horsepower, nothing beats the Kindle Fire HDX. It runs on a quad-core 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and Adreno 330 GPU, alongside 2GB of RAM. While it will handily outperform the Nexus 7, its Android version is highly customized and NO Google Play support. Instead, you'll have to rely on the less-robust Amazon App Store for your app needs.There's no microSD card slot either, so we recommend at least the 32GB version if you decide to go for the latest Kindle Fire.
Price: $229. Buy here.
Pros: Best in-class unmatched performance, great screen.
Cons: No MicroSD card slot, No Google Play Store support and heavily moded Android UI.
