I'm buying tablet for parents,
After searching in circles for hours I've found beigb the best Samsung Galaxy Tab E9.6 for price of 220€.
Did I choose good, or is there something better? Also I think they wont fully use higher priced tablet so 200€cca is enough, but im willing to pay a bit more if the difference would be noticeable

It looks like samsungs most budget minded tab.

it looks ok though if they'll mostly browse webpages and facebook.

The screen is pretty terrible, if they have poor eyesight it may be a concern.

also found it for 150 here: http://www.pixmania.co.uk/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-tab-e9-6-t561-3g-wifi-8gb-pearl-white/22840520-a.html

I would say go with a 8-10" tablet look for an IPS screen, quad core cpu preferably 2gb ram.

you might be able to even find something much better refurbed or gently used but still in perfect condition with box
>>
>>51650247
How about the kindle fire 10" it probably comes with free trials of its tv services, the screen is ok, and its sells for $170

Is it worthwhile to pick up a Tab 4 over Tab E? Tab 4 series seems to be going pretty low on ebay.

>>51650328
why terrible, are u talking about dpi?
>>51650371
im from central europe, no local shop sells this and we dont have amazon central so reclamation could be problem
>>
>>51650879
its not an ips so viewing angles will be awful, esp if two people are trying to view the same screen.
>>
>>51651115
OK that might be importnant
>>51650247
they will use it for skype alot too
>>
>>51650879
what reclamation? over here that word is used to restore land to how it was after you are done digging it up.

You mean if for some reason you have to return it? I dont see why you cant mail it in.
>>
>>51651193
>You mean if for some reason you have to return it
yes this, sorry

Well sending something to UK wouldn't be much practical, i don't trust our posting services, also the cost of shipping would be insanely high
>>
>>51651260
Dunno man. just the price you gotta pay for being where you are.

Can you find the Acer Iconia tab 10 locally? Its a step up up from the kindle fire 10 in every way, will run you around 200
>>
>>51651318
>Acer Iconia tab 10
this yeah, like 240€
but is acer trustable?
>>
>>51651364
ofcorse, as much as any big name company can be.

240€ is high though, I don't think I can recommend it at that price, but again if you cant buy online, you'll have to pay a premium.
>>
>>51651418
it's online price, from webstore from in mycountry
i just found out i can buy it for 180€ also
>>
How about the Asus ZenPad S 8.0 Z580CA how much is that where you are

>>
>>51651466
300€

I'm from Slovakia, studying in Czech rep., czech have sometimes lower prices
>>
yea I guess the Iconia tab 10 for 180 would be a good bet then.

But still hit up some popular review sites, look though reviews and user comments. keeping in mind what you are looking for in a device as there will always be something better for just a little more $
>>
>>51651572
There are two models of Tab 10.
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/models/tablets/iconiatab10

One is less pricey but with lower specs.
>>
>>51651588
Yea I know hes looking at the 1200x800 for 180
>>
Ipad nigger. Even my mother who never used a computer can use it
>>
>>51651572

>>
>>51650247

As a guy that hates Apple, get an iPad. Android tablets are just not comfy and easy enough for older people.

Android tablets are really useless really. They're not as easy to use and have less apps than a iPad and they are significantly less capable than a Windows tablet.

Americans seem to be unaware that they compromise only 40% of the userbase on 4chan.
>>
>>51651624
to get 5.0 and beyond youll probibly have to install a custom rom, but your parents wont give a shit if theyre running marshmellow or lollipop.
>>
>>51651717
what does being from america have to do with anything anyone posted in this thread?
>>
>>51651618
>>51651674
Yeah but they both have android phones, don't want to make them learn something new, they'll probably have mess in that

I persuaded my parents into buying the samshit galaxy s6 edgy and they both sold them in 2 months and returned to apple.

I used to call them plebs saying ladgroid is better but now I can see how much of an autist I was. Good to be back on iOS.

/g/ almost ruined me.
