What is the best tablet to get for a 19 year old girl that's not too expensive?

Get the nexus 7 brand new out yesterday and only 159 quid. Seriously good if you want it on the cheap

This, no question. Puts a lot tablets at double the price to shame in terms of hardware and built specifically for the newest version of Android. There's no better budget option available in any regard. You can preorder now from Google Play, will be shipping in a couple of weeks.

It looks good but what are it's disadvantages compared to the ipad for example?

If you want something really cheap (mine was £100), pick up and advent vega from ebay, then install vegacomb to give the latest version of android, runs just as well as some tablets that'll cost you upwards of £400.

Well, it has a smaller and lower-density screen than the new iPad, so if you're looking at text it won't appear quite as crisp.

More importantly, the range of tablet-optimised apps is much worse for Google's tablets than for iPad, but how much this matters to you depends on what you're planning on doing with the tablet.

And are either of those factors worth ~£240?

What estel said, plus there's no rear camera, if that's something you really want.

Yeah and surely they'll get more tablet-optimised apps?

Well if the new Nexus 7 results in some decent sales for Android tablets (which have been available for a year but made little impression on the market), I'd hope so.
