I switched to apple years ago but I’ve been craving android. My mac book screen broke so I took that as an excuse to buy a tablet. I didn’t need anything too expensive so I thought that was a good choice. Bought a new one off eBay for $200. I’m still waiting for it but I’m excited.

I was even thinking about setting up Remote Desktop and using my tablet for my computer lol. I also use hoopla for comic books but my phone screen is too small for it so I’m also excited for that. Overall I’m hyped to have an android device again.

I know it’s not the greatest thing in the world but that’s not what I’m looking for

I just recently bought one of these for about $240 new from Bestbuy. The last tablet I had was a Nexus 7 and it is starting to show its age so I finally put it to rest. The last time I used a stylus on a device was back when screens were resistive and not capacitive. I was insanely impressed by how much better this technology is. It's so responsive that I can't even notice a delay in moving the stylus to stuff appearing on screen. For reading it is a little bigger than I'd prefer, but I couldn't find anything smaller with a powerful enough processor.
