So are any of the $99 Windows 8.1 tablets worth getting? I just started Christmas shopping and they jumped out at me. Are any of them even dual-core?

Call Me Charlie posted:Just want to clear this up. All Windows tablets will be able to upgrade to full Windows 10. After that point, OEMs of sub-8 inch tablets will have the choice of whatever they're calling Windows RT (yes, it's not actually dead) or real deal Windows 10. There's no hard rule. There's problems with file compression of devices like HP Stream that's not allowing people to upgrade to Windows 10: https://gigaom.com/2015/01/26/got-a-low-cost-laptop-windows-10-upgrade-may-take-some-effort/

Nook HD's and Nook HD+'s have high PPI and no camera - you can find both dirt cheap on eBay

C-Euro posted:My mom is thinking about buying my dad a Fire HD 6 (70 today on Amazon). In her words, "We have that iPad (1st gen) , but it's not been upgraded and he only uses it for playing solitaire. I think he could use it for work, load maps on it and stuff." My dad is semi-retired and "work" involves driving around doing odd jobs like volunteer work and insurance inspections, I don't know about the map part but I'm sure he could find a use for a small tablet even if he is not tech savvy. Worth it at the price point? None of the Fire tablets have GPS, so they're a bad idea for your dad

paradoxGentleman posted:What mostly worries me is this: I had to wipe out ny Ipad's memory at one point and then was unable to re-download the apps because they had moved on to IOS 6 and beyond. Is this something that is likely to happen? iPad 2 is still being supported until next fall (it won't get iOS 10), and that has been around since Spring 2011 - so expect roughly 4 or 5 years of support from the launch date with Apple products In comparison, Windows 10 tablets are being supported for 10 years, and official android devices by Nexus or Samsung are supported for 1 or 2

for sale posted:I bought a dell venue 8 windows 8 version for an insanely low price a while ago and had fun with it for a while. I decided to upgrade it to windows 10 (because hey, free and I hate windows 8) and it really hasn't run smoothly since. It's really slow at times and the OS itself won't play nicely with the touch controls most of the time. Since I'm just using it for ebooks and web browsing, is there an easy way to just put Android or Linux on it instead and still have all of the touch stuff still work alright, or is there an easier way to try to do what I want here? Did you upgrade all the drivers: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dell-venue-8-pro/drivers

The HP Stream 7 I mentioned a few posts ago is worth a shot - Amazon has them for around $60 used or refurbished and they upgrade to Windows 10. They're quad-core and have 1gb RAM.

You guys have some weird obsession for paying hundreds of dollar for sweatshop tablets that billionaires manufacture for $10.00 At least Amazon has the right idea that selling cheap tablets is a gateway for consumers to buy more stuff from them Google Shopping is a mess and since Google has nothing to upsell they're just kind of floundering

king of the bongo posted:I need to find an mp3 player with a built in FM tuner to use in my classroom as the cd's we use get scratched really fast and unusable within a few months. I need something that I can just leave plugged in and hooked up to a set of external speakers and most of the stand alone mp3 players (sansa etc) have tiny screens for navigating the music library which is why I thought a tablet might work better as the classroom can use it for video as well. Couldn't you just use the YouTube app or the Pandora app over wifi? I don't think there's an album/song I haven't been able to find on YouTube. The TuneinRadio and iHeartRadio apps have a lot of local FM stations. Fire 7 and Fire HD 8 are cheap enough and you can put the Google Play store on them with a small amount of effort

I'll figure out how to kill that lovely lockscreen eventually... and that nearly ubiquitous special sale notification too. If you ask them via Chat in your Amazon account to remove the lock-screen ads, they'll do it for free - just say the ads are causing the tablet that you bought to lag
