@kdfrawg There are obviously different points of view, but my use of tablets is essentially restricted to video streaming/viewing. I wouldn't use more than a bare sliver of what an iPad is capable of, so I see no point in paying money I don't have for things I won't use. For fifty bucks, I got something that for almost a year now has been outstanding for what I want it for. For my use case, it's the best value out there. YMMV.
