So, I'm guessing you're not Scottish then
"The problem is when people are either told their cheap tablets are as good as a £400 jobbie"
That's not an unreasonable comparison. I've no idea where one would get a £400 jobbie (possibly NSFW) but I doubt it would run Angry Birds very well. Or at all. ;-)
Matter of fact, I'd pretty much expect sh***y performance from it. (^_^)
(FWIW, I'm assuming you didn't mean a 400 lb jobbie, which would be a horrible prospect.)
