Deserted Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is there anywhere in BKK that specializes in these or sells many of them? I am hoping to find one that has a good protective case with sim/wifi capacity so that learning applications can be downloaded via an android system. Any recommendations are gratefully received. .

dave_boo Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Last year I bought a Samsung Tab E Lite along with a sponge style case (has a built in carrying handle that can be articulated into a stand) for mini-me. All in it was ~125 USD. Pros are that it was cheap, the case works wonders as protection and it has WiFi meaning I control his access at the router level (ie he can only access the Web when I allow it based on his MAC address; when he smart enough to know how to spoof that I will be so proud). Cons are that it has a cheap screen (sucks for me to use but he doesn't know better), fairly poor battery life, only WiFi which means on road trips I have to setup my phone as an Access Point so he can surf/watch YouTube, and is stuck on an old version of Android. Overall though I'm pleased with the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Just make sure it has Googles Play store , some of the cheap Chinese ones do not , I have a few Kindle Fire tablets , WiFi only , they come with the Amazon Silk browser , a modified Android , But no Play Store which you have to put on yourself , They are "nice for the price" if someone can pick one up for you in the USA , The 7 inch one is $50 , and often on sale for $35 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserted Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Would I be correct in assuming that if I buy a kids tablet that because some have preloaded games and a protective case, they drop the spec yet charge a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought regular ones as they were on sale , $30 for the 7 inch, $43 for the 8 inch on Thanksgiving sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
