I want to buy one of those pad type of computers so I can use the Internet, check my email and perhaps read books on the road. I do not have a smart phone, and do not want one. I will only hook up to wifi and not have a "data package" for the machine.
there seem to be several opeating systems. Apple, Google and Microsoft.
Apple eeeh.
Google? I am not keen about feeding the Beast.
I happen to like Microsoft products. Yes I know I am the ONLY Freeper who does, but what the heck?
I cannot really figure out the products well enough to compare them.
Freeper tech ping?

Thanks, looks like a good value.
My “old” 7 is humming along fine for now. I bought it in October ‘13 just as they were hitting the market. If it hits the fritz I’d probably replace it with an 8.

I am picking up the $29 RCA tablet for my parents on Thursday. I figure for that price, it gives them a chance to see if they even like having a tablet.
I was there last year. It is busy, but with the guaranteed items, it makes it less chaotic. The worst part is waiting in line to pay. lol
