which tablet is best under 15k price range for multimedia consumption?

Battery backup is great. It has had only 500 cycles as once charged ipad battery lasts long and it is not like we use iPad 24X7. I am going to buy new iPad hopefully once it is announced and expect to keep it for at least 7 years.

Blimey! Only 500 charge cycles over 7+ years.

Actually, I was out of country and the unit didn’t get much use in between.

Samsung Tab A 10.1

Using it since two days and according to me it is the best for this price range.. display quality is good.. I was going to buy iPad but then I realized my only purpose to buy tablet is educational.. That’s why saved 15k and bought Tab A… I would highly recommend it over lenovo and that’s pretty obvious..

Get the iPad you can afford, there is no alternative for tablets. With iPad you will get a good app store and multiple years of software update. Android tablet market is almost dead, I have a Lenovo tablet which never got any update after purchase. Even Google does not seem to be bothered about android tablet market. The only alternative to iPad you might think is Chromebook, Lenovo Duet, but you will need to get it imported from US/UK and the user experience won’t be as smooth as iPad.

Good deal

Brands are least bothered about tablets these days
There are very few options (if iPads are excluded) and also there is stock issue (due to corona/Online classes)

PS: Can expect few tablet deals from lenovo/honor/alcatel during sale days but none excited me
Honor Pad 5 4G (4+64) seems like a nice option but then it is only 8" (Would suggest min 10" for better multimedia experience)

Then there’s Samsung TabA 10.1 (3+32GB WIFI) for ~15k
Not a bad option but it might lag at times (Screen is LCD & exynos processor equivalent to SD 636)

Finally Lenovo Tab M10 // Currently @ 20k //
FHD+ Display, 4+128GB ram+storage option, Dual Speakers + Dolby Atmos
But it is mediatek P22T (Performance is comparable to SD 626*)

You can try local shops but I doubt as they can put fake replica batteries.If you buy genuine MacBook Air battery and install it via local technician then it will cost cheaper.But for Apple products it’s recommended to visit Apple authorised stores only.
Btw is your MacBook Air giving battery warning like “replace soon”? How many battery charge cycle count are there? If it’s over 800 then battery replacement is necessary.

Does apple sell spares without installation?
No my mac air is not giving any warning like that….
Guess the cycle is around 500 so need not worry I guess…
Thanks for the inputs

I bought it from AliExpress for around 2k and replaced it myself but it was around 2017-18. This was/is the cheapest option but I am not sure whether we can procure from China/Ali now with the border dispute in effect.

Used it for a year and sold off the Mac. Was working like the original till the time I had it.

Was it MacBook Air too? How did you replace battery by yourself Did you have all tools like screwdriver and all.

Yeah now import custom scene has changed a lot now there are 43% of product price customs on all AliExpress products So a 2k battery can cost around 5k.Not recommended to buy high price items now.

Yep, it was Air 2014 model. Don’t exactly remember but I followed Crucial website for all repair upgrade works. Hav whole bunch of screwdrivers that I bought from Ali..

I don’t think Apple sells parts in India.You have to go with non oem batteries only if you plan to replace it locally.You can get those batteries from lapgadgets.
It’s sad that eBay is gone in India We could’ve got original batteries under 2k on eBay

It’s good that your cycle count is around 500 because mine is around 1200 and I am getting warnings How many hrs battery backup are you getting?

There was a lawsuit against Apple for degrading battery life, and they allowed battery replacement for models for minimal prices. Just google, and you may get it. I changed 6s battery for 2k in 2019.
Not sure if this is still the case but it not done Google it.

Yeah i know but its not valid now as that was for a limited period(6 months) of time in dec 2018 to jun 2019. Bad luck my battery started giving me problems after that.Now apple store will surely charge me >6k.

Maybe they will give more discount when no one buys it at that price.
28K would be an ok deal for the 4G model. Can’t even call it a deal, maybe an acceptable price.

34k feels too much. But Now it’s in stock hope to see more Price drop. May be they will do price drop because new ipad is lnched @ 30k…

@getready is these tabs good for trading works and games?

Avita Magus now in around 13k in Flipkart
