    Given the importance on the price point in Indian markets, MiPad has the strongest plus point in its favour. While the iPad and Nexus 9 are priced at around Rs. 30000, the MiPad comes with price tag of Rs.12999.

    What would I go for?
    Well, in spite of the big spec sheet and an impressive price tag, MiPad seems to suffer from a few compatibility issues. Several Indian apps like TOI do not seem to work on it. Even the performance stated to be not so smooth. As for other two devices , the biggest deciding point would be the OS you are comfortable with. The iPad runs on iOS 8.2 and Nexus will give you a pure stock android experience. The price being almost equivalent, the final decision will rest with the operating system you are comfortable with.
