I once got a tablet so cheap that I turned the brightness all the way down, it completely blackened the screen, and unless you were lucky enough to memorize where the brightness slider was in the pull down menu, the tablet was completely bricked.
The cheap tablet/laptop market is fascinating. There is some good stuff, but it's mostly slapping modern way too bloated OS's on essentially 15 year old hardware. You're going to have a bad time almost no matter what.
i would have a story about slapping arch on a 2015 chromebook to see how it runs without insane bloat but the fucker has a read only boot drive that gets really mad and doesn't let you boot if it's not the og chrome os and it didn't accept my restoration chromeos stick so it's a brick now lol
@@Anonymous-xo6qd It just turn into NuggBrick... Kinda like my old ASUS phone that has locked bootloader and cannot get rooted to get rid of bloatware.
i lived off of a 80 dollar acer tablet for a lotta my childhood, i just found it in the closet covered in dust while packing up for college, and the last photo taken on its shitty 1mp camera was my first iphone :) ... after about 4 minutes of loading while these tablets are hillariously dogshit, even the nuggiest of nuggets can hold a special place in our hearts❤️
The idea of that is pretty heartwarming. I had a similar run with an eMachines desktop that was just totally junk. I used it for about 7 years and for 4 of those years it was my only computer. I'd play PC games on it and I'd have to edit the .ini files to get the games to run below the lowest settings. I played some 50 hours of Morrowind at ~20 fps on the thing. Minecraft at 10fps was the daily too. It's siting beside me now and I just can't get rid of it. Even though it was junk I'm so attached to that machine and the memories I made on it. I have a Series X for games now aha.
True I had that Google nexus tablet that was incredibly slow but it was still my first tablet and will hold a special place in my heart, idk where Tf the tablet is but I have it’s case
I never really understood tablets that much when everyone has a (usually at least decent) smartphone these days. For example, my Sony Xperia 1 II is less than half the size of this tablet and would absolutely run this tablet over, and then switch into reverse and run it over again both features and performance wise. But you know what, maybe that's not fair and the equivalent of the school giga-chad beating up the school idiot, so let's compare it to the phone I had... over 6 years ago... The Samsung Galaxy S5. And this tablet STILL gets murdered. lol
I had a cheap tablet back in 2016 At first it was great. From battery backup to performance it was amazing. Then it slowly become unusable. Where sometime you could charge it fully within 2-3 minutes and it would last for 2-3 miniute. It also had other problem but oneday while trying to insert a sim card it broke or scratch something important. Then we couldn't repair it. It was very precious to me, I played a lot of games at that, I had a lot of memories. But sadly it passed away (broke). This video reminds me of that tablet.Thanks Sorry for my English. I'm also very down tonight. I am sure no one will ever read this comment. But I wish you a bright tomorrow.
i used to have tablets identical to this from ages 9-13ish. it was so embarrassing being in middle school and having to whip out one of these bad boys when all of my peers had nice iphones. i would need to get them replaced every few months because theyd randomly take a shit and stop working. one time, when i went to get a new one with my mom at walmart, i found out how dirt cheap they were. i was insulted that she wouldnt just buy me a good tablet that would maybe even work to this day. also, the laptop i currently have is basically one of these tablets but glorified. my mom would always rather cheap out on a piece of garbage that quite literally cannot function than get something that works a little bit.
You should get used electronics. For laptops I recommend getting a used ThinkPad or a Dell Latitude from couple of years ago. Those things were build like tanks, and are dirt cheap on the used market.
Personally, I have one very specific usecase for cheap Android tablets: I use two of them as stationary control panels for my smarthome. One on the ground floor for controlling stuff in the livingroom and kitchen, and one upstairs to control stuff in the bedroom and office.
My training organisation for my apprenticeship gave me one of these tablets. It was cheaper to buy a tablet and put all the assignments on it as PDFs than to print them out lol
I love that every single Dankpods starts with about three seconds of silence where I get to question whether or not my AirPods stopped working for some reason
I once thought my volume was turned down, so I cranked it up, resulting in Dank's voice blasting out of my shitty phone speakers, obliterating my eardrums and waking up the whole neighbourhood.
Usually when "read books" is the very first "feature" thats as far as it was designed to go. anything beyond is just hopes the software works and dreams that the hardware can support it.
man I got one of these for my high school class and we absolutely had to use them during exams, you were lucky every time when theyd boot up and do what you wanted. you were usually better off taking one of the spares they got in case yours didnt work.. because.. the spares were so much better than our own.
I think the sad thing is. This type of thing is a lot of peoples (Particularly older peoples) first experience with a tablet, leading to frustration and general lack of interest or desire to learn. Thinking that “modern” technology is frustrating and useless my grandad had a “Hudl” a table made for Tescos (supermarket chain) in the Uk and it was his only computing device for years until I got him an IPad and his world has changed with a competent tablet
Yeah but, this kind of technology doesn't particularly benefit older people's lives much at all. It's not like a life or death situation to them like it would be to younger generations. The main thing my grandparents use their smart phones for is WhatsApp for god sake 🤣
My parents' first tablet was something even cheaper and worse than this one. Takes like 20 minutes to start up and barely worked even when it was brand new. Ended up giving the stupid thing to my cat to play a game where a mouse runs around on the screen for the cat to paw at, because that's all it was good for. He loved that tablet.
Was it the RCA Viking Pro exclusive to Walmart by any chance? The RCA logo itself shows for 40 seconds, the Viking Pro loading screen takes several (9?) minutes, and the keyboard it attaches to doesn't always register. Mono sound from a 2W speaker. ...but hey, it has a USB A port for flash drives and a mini HDMI output, something I haven't seen on many tablets at all. Manufacturers have been racing to get consumer electronics to be wafer thin.
I remember buying a $40 tablet from Walmart for my younger brother, it was plasticy as hell but it ran a pretty new version of Android, and it was relatively alright for its price (ran RU-vid and some games fine), its about $50 now (they replaced the microUSB with a USB-C plug)
I still remember the intense wave of anxiety that I felt when I found out you weren't just filming on top of an old iPad case and that there was actually a working iPad in there this whole time
I used to work at a Goodwill, sorting out and wiping smart devices. I saw so many tablets clearly just designed to put bullet points on a box, most of which ended up getting recycled. Nobody wanted them when they were new, let alone secondhand. The fact that powering this piece of junk on ONLY took twenty-some seconds puts it leagues above most of the tablets I saw, which generally would take upwards of 1-2 minutes to get into Android. Quite a few of those were from LASER. You've got a high-tier low-tier tablet here!
@Schnort I got my secondary "campfire" guitar from Goodwill for $38. Included case, tuner, strung winder, and guitar. Obviously, it's not a $1000 guitar but plays better than some $200 or $300 ones I've played
Lol I remember my dad bought a cheap android tablet just like this one Shit took longer to boot up then an old windows xp laptop My man just gave it to my dad He hated it so much He go a new Lenovo tablet "The tablet is like a nerf gun to an airsoft gun " LOL
@@Kareem_King I don't know ware my dad even got it probably from like ali express or some shit I bet it said oh yeah 8 cores 1tb ram 16 petabytes of storage or something
You have to keep in mind that although it's very bad for everyday use, it might be great for various IoT projects where you just need a cheap and big touchscreen device.
Got a cheap tablet that was on sale, primarily use it as a PC monitoring device, there are awesome programs that you can run on android tablets, so I can see my temps, network traffic and a bunch of other stuff.
Amazon Fire tablets (used and older ones too) with a custom ROM are good for stuff like that too! Just don't use the stock ROM and you're good to go! 👍

i once had a laptop in which i loved to play minecraft, but it took 40 minutes just to open the launcher and then another 40 minutes for the game to launch and once the game was started, it would crash and the launcher would open instantly after and i had to wait more 40 minutes. I got 30 fps while setting the render distance to 6 and the each chunk would take 5 minutes to load.
When I was younger I had got an really cheap tablet with a spongy resistive touch screen, and took it to Spain on holiday but while we were there our bags and wallet got stolen and my dad had to try do online banking in a foreign country, on dreadful wifi, with the worst tablet I've ever used.
@@sloppynyuszi Man if we had money for an ipad I wouldn't have had that crappy tablet lol. I had other stuff that I cared about more though, my DS was the only thing I needed
Interesting thing to note: this seems to have developer options enabled or utilized in some way as the animation times are way down, just to make it seem faster
I love these cheap Mankie tablets. They’re perfect for opening up a manual and working on your lawnmower. And you don’t even feel guilty for accidentally running it over with the mower and mulching it because it’s so cheap. It’s also perfect for po... po-roductivity, yes, totally what I was going to say. Mine was an RCA, and some friends of mine stole it.
Well, guess what, once my mum purchased a cheap little powerbank in a retail store, offered it to me for my birthday... ... it *exploded / caught fire* when my friend tried to charge his phone with it 😳😳😳 You're NOT always safer with things bought in stores 🙃
I, too, have an iPad 4. 16 GB, non cellular, black bezel. That was my iPad for almost a whole decade before getting a 2021 iPad Pro. Had that 4 throughout my childhood, still have it, still functions. Prolly so much better than the $50 tablet lol
As a tech nerd, I'm obligated to point out that the apple device most likely has an IPS panel for it's display, meaning it has higher color accuracy and can be viewed from almost any angle without distortion at the cost of money and response time. The cheaper tablet probably has a TN Panel, which is much cheaper than IPS and has lower response time, but distorts unless viewed head on.
I once bought a tablet like this for ~$40 on amazon and it came with a keyboard and stylus. It was just as slow. One thing that made it unique was its ability to (involuntarily) play music through headphones and the external speaker at the same time. At one point, it started boot looping and never recovered. It got thrown into storage and suffered from a flood. Back to the e-waste pile.
I used to have one that I think was about $70 that ran a really old version of android. It was so bad at playing games that Minecraft would crash after 5 minutes.
I got a fairly new Amazon tablet when it was on sale for $40-$50 and with some additions to make it more like android it's still going absolutely great.
8:39 It was released on August 22, 2013, for iOS and Android, November 13 2013 for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8,and January 15, 2014 for BlackBerry 10, and April 5, 2015 for Tizen.
I'm not sure what exactly that means. But I never planned to visit Adelaide anyway's. (I'm from south QLD, I never hear a peak out of north QLD, sometimes there'll be something about NSW and VIC but almost never SA or WA and never TAS).
At my horribly set up and ran STEM Academy school they were given a $1,000,000 grant for the school to get supplies. They decided to get a class set of ipod touches that were out of date (had the silver reflective backing) class set of laptops that were questionable at best. Only half of them worked. And a class set of cheap android tablets that I kid you not were uses less then 5 times because of how awful they were. Some wouldn't charge others wouldn't load without freezing or crashing and trying to open a tab took a literal class period. What happened to the rest of the money? The higher ups pocketed it for themselves which they wouldn't get caught till years later. They shut down that STEM in my area
Nah, too much RAM for a 2009 tablet. My old phone from 2013 was slimemr than that. And 2009 was still the time of the netbooks, before they got replaced by tablets.
For those that actually wants a decent tablet, try get a Fire HD 8"/10" 2020 instead, if they have an older version of FireOS you can pretty much remove almost every Amazon bloatware included using Fire Toolbox. Newer versions of FireOS still allows you to install Google Play services and etc (I would recommend microG instead due to Gapps bogging down the system a lot), I have one and it's a really nice content consumption device on the bed, especially with how great those speakers are, definitely worth the 50 EUR i paid for them in mid 2021.
Ingot the hd8+. It's fine, just fine, not good, but fine. For what I use it for which is pretty much a RU-vid consumption device to save wearing out my phone's battery or web bwosing if my phone's on charge it's good enough. Would I recommend one? Only if the use case is exactly the same as mine
@@HA05GER honestly, the Samsung tab s6 lite is just about the baseline of what i consider "good". You can find one for as cheap as €160, it's great for a 2 year old tablet and it comes with a pen
Coming back to this after looking for a tablet recently, I had tried buying a Walmart branded (Onn) 7 inch tablet, it was on sale on Black Friday for just $30, so I figured why the heck not, can always return it. Can't say I was very surprised when it ran like a pile of crap and took forever to do anything, about on the same level as this. So I return it, and go for something by a proper name, a Lenovo M10 Plus tablet. Being the folks that made my first self-owned laptop, I figured it word run way better, cause I really only needed a tablet for drawing, that's it. Well, somehow it ran just as bad, IF NOT WORSE that that Walmart tablet. This tablet came out in 2022. So now I believe any sort of Android tablets are just going to run like hot garbage lel.
I used my iPad 4 until recently and usually my internet would be 20 kB/s, and I’m being real, I actually learned to be patient. The RU-vid videos that were less concerned with visuals, I would put them at 144p, and the ones that needed visuals, I would put 360p. I would wait until it loaded. Each search would take a minute or half. I didn’t get frustrated because I was used to it.
I’ve always wondered why, in the super cheap tablet market, do they bother including a camera? They’re always such crap that they aren’t even usable. If they didn’t bother, they could use the cost savings from not including the camera and microphone to add just a bit more ram or a 10 year old processor instead of a 15 year old one.
cheap cameras are pennies, and the people who buy these tablets would rather have more feature than spend $5 more on something that actually works so... Economics???!?
Certainly they are crap, however you have to consider that many times that toy camera is a lifesaver. especially for those elementary and middle school homework -At least speaking from my case [in 2012-2013]. In Mexico, the transition to digital things was relatively slow (I'm not lying when I tell you that 90% of our stores and banks were running Windows XP and IBM tinkcenters from the 80s-90s), and even continued to sell CRT televisions [despite the fact that the analog TV blackout was scheduled for 2013]. Digital cameras in Mexico were a rare product. not only because hardly anyone had one. [they were expensive, delicate and difficult to repair, etc. unless you were a photographer or a teenager with a lot of money and wanted to take emo photos for Hi-5 or +18 amateur content with a compact Cybershot it was rare to see one] all families had film cameras, or camcorders (which those were a success, motivated more than anything by the idea of recording children dancing or acting at school festivals since our educational program celebrates holidays like this) [even webcams were a premium item, partly because at that time internet access in mexico at a domestic level on average did not exceed 2-5 mbps via ADSL], so making video calls was like "huh if that exists" *and you were even screwed because you could have a webcam but Obtaining microphones was almost impossible, nobody sold them, they were expensive and nobody knew how to put them in a dinosaur PC*[there were those who would have 10-20 megs but they were very wealthy. or really hardcore gamers who cushioned the investment, and some Internet cafes with 50-100 megabytes]. -Together with this, phone calls in Mexico are stupidly cheap, even free, so PCs only existed for Facebook, flash games, P*rn, RU-vid. [and email] -MSN Messenger at his time. Cell phones were more or less like that, whoever owned a blackberry was a top businessman, or already a lot of luxury, a Samsung galaxy. from there everyone used the classic buttons. So there were some cameras but (for some reason) those phones were never sold with PC cable or you could only get through via bluethooth [and PC's dont have it]. Set to the Candy Crush moms effect, So slowly cheap tablets became a common Christmas gift So in many school activities or some government procedures (very rare at the time), they asked you to take photographs of evidence. 35mm film is becoming more and more rare to find and many children don't know how to use it anymore so for many years those cheap tablets and phones with shitty cameras were the standard and the family digital camera. [so under the logic of tablet-phone having a digital camera... who needs a digital one now?] [Today we all see our "memories of the 2010's" and they are disgusting and even with today's monitors impossible to see with such low resolution, but at the time it was something normal and even "enough" because those photos in a CRT monitor from the 90s that everyone had or as a luxury some LCD resolution WGA or 720 max] or printed on bond paper with an hp inkjet cartridges from the 2000s or already in 4x6" photographic paper they looked like a damn luxury. the problem was that many people got stuck in that idea that those farting cameras were the future to the point that you can literally go to any store or supermarket in mexico in 2022 and you will not find digital cameras. [some premium reflexes] or cheap Camcorders- GoPro like. or for children. but they don't really sell cameras.
@@CharlieRAnimaMX im from Poland and i would like to say that i have fully read your comment. We had similair situation with internet, back in 2010 i had a "premium" 10mb/s adsl internet connection up to 20mb/s in 2014 that costed unreasonalble 35$. Now i have 40$ fully unlimited LTE connection and its great as for what available right now it is mostly 100-150mb/s. Its funny that we have cheaper cellurals plan right now than half of the fiber networks. As for 2022 we have fiber in pretty mutch everywhere, even on the very remote villages so as 5G and LTE cellurar beacuse of goverment and european union plan of investment for digitalizing and connetcing all people. It's kind of shock for me when i travel abroad and i see packs of 20gb data for 20$. In 2010 i had this VGA camera which sucked as well as cheap tablet and unusable smartphone with really poor resistive touchscreen, but i'm glad we had nice medium sized electronic markets in my city which imported every high tech that you would ever like to buy - but we had also be waiting for things to slowly change. Im 👋 to you for vacations now on turkey 🇹🇷 with 500mb/s wifi AC connection. Have a nice day!
I work at a gym where we have a speaker system for music of course and we use one of these things to play Spotify, its plugged into this massive amplifier for the speakers and barely works half the time.
6:30 "for most people 480 is the minimum" Man that made me super nostalgic for watching Minecraft videos late at night when I was 10, using my mobile data because my parents shut off the internet, and I'd watch stuff in 144p to conserve data, 240p if I was feeling spicy. I only had 2gb for the whole month, simpler days. Also RU-vid was way better, longer videos and we had dislikes and minimal ads.
@@rechtrecht Ich hab 12 GB und bin auch bei der Telekom. Guck mal bitte nach ob dein Tarif aktuell ist. Und selbst wenn nicht, Telekom hat vor nem Monat oder so alte Tarife angepasst. Meine Mutter hat den selben Tarif wie ich aber hatte bis vor nem Monat nur 5GB statt 12GB.
I would just download videos on Wi-Fi to later be watched offline. Much simpler than having to deal with stuff like this, and you don't have to use any mobile data.
Just avoid that brand - if you were to pull one apart , the parts inside would rust. Better to grab something of known quality a few years old. Seems they used old hardware and flash the most basic android os they found and called it New.
Get a used one, you can pick up very nice previously high-end devices for around $99, especially less popular brands like LG, you can fairly easily find a G8 or G7 in good condition for under $99.
@@vgamesx1 the problem of those mf are the batteries tho, with a couple of years they might be destroyed. Maybe just save a little more, 200 can get you a really decent Xiaomi/realme phone
@@LeoMkII All the ones I've gotten so far had only lost roughly 10-20% capacity, could be better but it's still more than plenty to get through an entire day on 80% charge, generally batteries only go bad that quickly when people take very little care of their battery and leave it on the charger all the time and of course I wouldn't recommend everyone go do it, but swapping batteries isn't that difficult, it mostly just requires patience both to remove the back and to clean the glue off to then re-glue it. Also, keep in mind companies like Xiaomi make very little margin on their products, meaning they have to make up for that elsewhere, so you may not mind that, but I would rather not take part in any of that. My problem with budget phones is that they cost quite similar to old flagships but always come with comprises, often the camera first then the screen, after that specs/storage, because you'll have considerably more storage, that nice crisp screen and top-tier specs, the whole package is just all around better and you'll want to keep it for much longer, if I have to take a mild hit to battery life to get those things well then personally I think it's worth it, I've owned budget phones too and it's not as if they don't have a place, but please trust me on this, they just aren't worth it, they're fine for light users like grandma who barely touch their phone but for everyone else do yourself a favor and at least splurge for the $300-$400 range if you must have a new phone.
I had a Mobicel 10" Tablet with 1GB RAM. This device was so slow and one day when I performed a factory reset, it didn't even bother turning on again. So, I replaced that tablet with this one, I am using to watch your video right now... A Lenovo Tab M10. This tablet is okay and I mean just that. This one is slightly faster at only 2GB RAM. I reckon for a tablet to perform above expectations, you ideally require 4 to 6GB RAM and a lot more storage ! 👍
I remember around 2014 we got this really cheap tablet called the "Pendo Pad". It was basically the same as this Laser tablet. The Pendo Pad would crash, get terrifyingly hot, would eventually fall apart and the speaker was on the back. The speaker grill itself wasn't even in the right place, it was off to the side which made it cover half the speaker. Meanwhile my 2013 Ipad Mini 2 runs as well as you'd need it to, battery still holding up insanely well to this day.
I had a Pendo pad as well BC my parents couldn't afford anything else lol, mine was as bad as yours tbh. my dad used his for maybe five years (I have no idea how) before it kept crashing on everything and he gave up and bought a laptop
oh wow, I had a Pendo too back in.. 2015-2016 I think! it lasted nearly 2 years I think, and was somehow pretty decent until the battery suddenly started losing power faster than it could charge. definitely much happier to stick with my ipad though
I had no idea there were other people with Pendos. I received one as a free gift for an NBN plan with TPG, and it was abhorrently slow. The speaker was very thoughtfully placed right where your palm rests, and a 0.3 degree angle from looking straight on would make the screen near unrecognisable. There wasn't even a camera, although that's probably for the better. It had some sad single core Intel thing, and it currently sits in the graveyard of electronics.
@@maggleworth Same thing happened with my Pendo as well. My Ipad also takes a ridiculous time to charge, however the battery does last a great deal of time.
Always so funny to see headphone jack on cheap tablets and phones cus it makes it so obvious that phone manifacturers just want you to buy wireless headphones so they removed headphone jack. 🤣
@@Wertyhappy27 yeah exactly. I mean i think you still kinda need to add some more components for the headphone detection circuit but it's probably still under 1$ but i am no expert so i could be wrong.
Wired vs wireless dirtybuds: Wired: Pros: Cheaper (depends on brand), no need to recharge, good audio. Cons: Messy wire/tangled wire, and wire breaking that could kill one if the buds. Wireless: Pros: Has reasonable price for most wireless/TWS, no wires-simple, and has good audio for mostly latest wireless units (BT 4.0 or 5.0) Cons: Need to recharge, can be a problem if losing one or both of the buds/TWS, battery issues after long term usage or causd by defects, short time for playback (less than 8 or 5 hours), etc Wired dirtybuds still a winner over wireless, and I has both wired and wireless
@@agustinusreynaldi7101 Wireless dirtybuds win for me. I walk around a lot and need to be untethered. I always yank the wired ones out when I’m doing normal stuff.
too be fair that was a pretty fast startup for a tablet that old, my old tablet (which is now broken) used to start up sooo slow. I always put it on and then went to do something else 😭😭
I can attest to the Air 2. Bought it off the shelf around 2015-2016 and it's been going strong ever since. Been through many jailbreaks (don't tell Apple) and is currently up-to-date and hasn't slowed down very much. It does have to stop and think every now and then, usually when opening apps, but it's still tolerable.
@@itshugh6750 Calling it a "bargain" is a bit of a stretch really. I think DankPods was just commenting on the fact that an "old" iPad would be money better spent than e-waste tablets like that one. I reckon that extra $300 is worth it, even if only for the longevity iPads have. That Laser tablet is already out-of-date off the shelf.
@@johnnybuoy You are missing the point that the iPad was 400 dollars at purchase new, and this tables was not even a hundred dollars new in box. You can hate on Android all you want, but to my knowledge there is no 'budget' apple equivalent available as a tablet. As for the usability if this android tablet, it's crap, but that's mostly because of the cheap components used. For around 150-200 dollars there are very usable android tablets, simple because of the components used are way better then this. I get Dankpods' point tho. This shouldn't be sold as is, but comparing it to an (albeit older) device that's just higher quality and much more expensive isn't really a good comparison.
ok the small talk about the guinea pigs was amazing because mine died i had two ( it was like 2 years ago so im not emotional about it anymore and i laughed) and it genuinely souded like we were having a convorsation.

I got a $70 CAD Proscan tablet 7ish years ago and surprisingly it's still kicking. It's obviously not good for intensive games but it can play simple games like fruit ninja, browse the internet, and watch 1080p RU-vid videos perfectly fine. I'm genuinely impressed with how well it works for so long for how cheap it was. The cameras on it are dogshit tho.
@@xxyvng6831 man iPads are always the exception. I'm fairly certain that Apple just puts the same camera as the iPhone into the iPad. The only time I had a bad time with an iPad camera was on an iPad 2. That was just barely over ten years ago.
The only use for this is actually pretty interesting: Sim racing!, We have a bunch of tools to let us display telemetry on a device to act like a Dashboard. I'm actually kinda seriously thinking that this might be a good option if i every Shell out for my IRacing sub again. But yea, Sits still, shows some numbers and maybe a little bit of animation. Perfect for a 50
I gotta iPad Air 2 from 2014 Christmas as a senior in high school. My son now plays games one it and it has the original battery and screen(no cracks or battery problems). It’s been around my entire adult life. When it finally shuts down for the last time it’ll be a sad day.
Best thing about these type of cheap tabs is to use them as secondary, touch screen monitor. Depending on the model, you can even rip it apart then manually connect it using a diy kit
I've had my S7+ for a year and it feels new (I spend 15 hrs/week using it). ru-vid.comUgkxAxiUS5CgVC3j8FwNOHt037zhsquGQpXv I use it for reading, viewing social media, email, and playing an occasional game. Some 'computers' feel slow and antiquated after a month of use. With the S7+, speed feels as fast as it did when I bought it. Because I don't use apps that are heavy on graphics, I get a respectable 7 hours of battery life before I recharge (I juice back up when I get to 20%). While the S7+ is 3 year old technology, I see no reason to upgrade to a S9+. S7+ is a good value for 99% of what you would use a tablet for.
I would love to hear your opinions about the Nook HD+ that came out around 2013ish. It was my first tablet and holy shit was it an experience. I actually still have it and it works. It's my favorite nugget.
