My sister wants the kids to stop hogging the iPad for their games and movies or whatever. Is there anything remotely worth investing in at the cheap end of the scale, like maybe Lenovo's stuff? Storage space, OS and so on doesn't really matter.

I've talked it over some more with my brother-in-law, apparently a ~10" screen is pretty important and money is quite tight this year. He found a used Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 for just over $100, but I'm having him hold off until further notice, since it basically looks like an old netbook without a keyboard. I've tried to find a Nexus 10, but I can't even find one new, much less used. My niece uses the iPad mostly for Netflix, apparently, the games are secondary.

I've passed on the Fujitsu, it seems to handle streaming poorly and has an inadequate battery according to reviews. What about a HP TouchPad with Android installed?

Bung Harmer posted:Holy loving poo poo. Do some people actually think the TouchPad is a viable option? I posted here because I know nothing about tablets. Anyway, it doesn't matter, my brother-in-law found an iPad 2 at a very reasonable price. Problem solved.
