What ever happened to just giving kids a Big Chief Tablet to draw on?

I finally broke down and bought a big Samsung. I have a smartphone, a laptop and a desk PC.

My grandson sure enjoys my new tablet.

I am sorry but this article is a riot. I have wasted a lot of money on tablets over the years, I am responding to this on an 8” Fire HD while waiting for my wife at a lady’s event at church. The best tablet these days is one that you can take along and not obsess over how much it will cost when it gets stolen out of your car or dropped in a pool. This thing cost $49 on sale, so it fits the bill.

I think I will watch a video or look at a magazine in it now, so have a good one.

I will show my age by remembering a very early tablet, the classic Etch-a-Sketch! It would work fine until the driver would hit a bump, brake too quickly (etc.) and then the knob being turned would go awry! Ah, memories!

FYI: I never got anywhere in the same universe as the guy who did this illustration! For those not in the know, it is all a SINGLE CONTINUOUS LINE and, no, I have no idea of how the 'reflection pool' was done! WOW!

Best affordable tablet: Amazon Fire HD 8.

My grand kids gave me one in Christmas of 2016.

I use it mainly for Kindle books, and it works great for gmail and comcast email.

It works very well for MYSMS texts even though, it is not supposed to work.

I can print from my HP printer via the cloud for emails and simple documents. It prints good color pics from my Amazon photos taken by a smart phone, another pad or a Chrome Book.

I/we can’t use Google Search and Google Play store for other android apps on the fire tabs. Due to bs from both Google and Amazon.

Amazon and Google are often like bullies in a pre school playground re blocking each other’s apps or making them a PIA to use them on another system.

A friend has 3 teenagers, who took over their home computer, I pad and phones when they came home from school for both homework and to keep up with the other kids. The woman works from home and uses their Mac Book for her business.

She bought one of these Fire Tablets, for each kid and one each for she and her husband. The kids seldom use their Mac computer now. She takes each tablet into the master bedroom to charge them and keep the kids off of them at night. They can use them for 30 minutes in the morning before they go to school and after breakfast. The tablets stay at home. So for less than $500, everyone has an electronic device that is theirs.

4 years ago our grand daughter enrolled in an excellent private high school. They did away with school books and went to the top I pads and a reasonable fee for each text book on her I pad. We bought her the top I pad and saved her back and a couple of thousand bucks in book costs.

She is now in her second year of Nursing school and still uses her old I Pad for many of the current text books, note taking and her own study guides. We buy her one or two Kindle books for her I Pad for non study books each month. She tells me what Kindle books she wants to read. I order them on my Chromebook and send them to her I Pad.

A cheap and smaller keyboard works with the Fire Table/pads, when connected. No luck with the blue tooth keyboard and the
Fire Tablets.

I use a 9.7 2017 ipad 128gb.
I like it, but I am addicted to Robot Wars.

I bought a Windows 2 in 1 laptop about 3 years ago. I rarely use the tablet mode. I just spent $1K+ on an Iphone XS so I am not going to criticize people’s purchasing decisions.
