I was thinking of buying at least one or two Tablets for Christmas.
There's too much to choose from, I need help so I thought I'd ask here.
I only want to pay about £120 tops.
This one looked good....

Any feedback appreciated :)

If you can stretch a bit further, then your best bet is probably a Nexus 7 from ASUS/Google. Ie, consider it is only £30-40 more, the tablet you linked is quite inferior.
Otherwise, this isn't terrible for the money (having looked somewhat briefly solely on eBuyer)

if you are buying a tablet for browsing than HCL U1 is best for you.. as it is very very cheap... so that you can buy 3-4 tablets at your budget... it runs on andoir 4.0 ICS, so it is quite good in my opinion... btw i'm also using HCL U1...

Again the Nexus 7 I would recommend and they have recently come down in price in the uk/Ireland 16gb version in Ireland is €209, or if you are looking for something cheaper this was recommended to me the Ainol Novo Aurora2, it has a 1.5GHz A9 chip (€80) I have one and it really is fast and is as good as the Nexus in my opinion, but having said that I know fook all about this kind of stuff :)
