Our Top Recommendation: Refubished iPad 2
Reliable quality at an affordable price
In our experience, a refurbished Apple iPad 2 is the most reliable and ruggedly built tablet suitable for DartConnect in any playing environment for the lowest price. By purchasing an authorized refurbished unit from Amazon or eBay (which are often "Like New" but returned units), you can have the highest confidence in the best technology and industry leading battery-life -- at a price point similar to tablets that are far inferior. Deals can be found as low as $100-$150 USD.

What specs should I look for on Android tablets?
Why an "IPS" Screen is important
Screen display quality is the most important thing to consider when looking at low-priced Android devices for DartConnect. To make sure the tablet you choose has a quality display that can be seen clearly from side-angles, we highly recommend devices that specify an "IPS" screen type. Be sure to look for this in the listed hardware specifications before purchasing any budget-priced tablet.

What size tablet should I get?
In general, a 10” tablet is the ideal size for all environments. For casual and personal use, such as solo practice, a small size tablet such as 7” or even a smartphone can be acceptable. For league and tournament use, we recommend the 10” size as ideal for portability and seeing the screen from a distance. For events and tournament stages, you might consider a large screen tablet such as the Nabi Big Tab.

Will DartConnect work on a Kindle or Surface?
Amazon’s Kindle devices are currently among the most popular budget-priced tablets, but please note that we can only recommend the Kindle “Fire HD” models for use with DartConnect.
For Microsoft Surface tablets, to use DartConnect you must download and install Google Chrome or Firefox as DartConnect is not recommended for Microsoft browsers.
Please note that saving the app to the home screen will only work on mobile devices using Apple Safari or Google Chrome for Android and is not supported by Microsoft browsers or Silk on Kindle.

What's that giant tablet I've seen on Facebook?
Nabi Big Tab - size matters...but buyer beware
The impressively sized 20" and 24" Nabi Big Tabs are great for tournament stages or a novelty, but the 13+ lb weight and 40-min battery life aren't practical or high enough quality for regular use. You can still find deals on eBay and Amazon for around $200 USD, but be aware that buyers report a high incidence of receiving units with faulty components such as the battery or power supply.
