Longbow212 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I am looking for a cheap basic tablet to use for teaching children in class. It doesn't need to be great just basic and functional. I have heard that the andropad or scopad are possible options. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Seen new basic Android tablet from about 2k. Look at any IT area, where they sell phones on stalls etc in shopping malls (don't know where you are so can not be more specific). Chinese clones mostly.

guzzi850m2 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) I just bought a 7" Grandtab GT-6 for my daughter, 2990 bath (3G model), you can buy them Wi-Fi only for 1990 bath. Only 512mb of ram, rom 2 gb, mini sd card up to 32gb, screen res 800x480, 2 cameras. Despite its pretty lousy specs I am a bit impressed with it and the Wi-Fi works much better than on my Onda tablet. They are for sale in many shops on the phone floor in Tuk.Com in Pattaya and I was told they sell a lot of them. I forgot to mention: Android 4.04 Edited August 31, 2013 by guzzi850m2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iondricka Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) rather get a netbook where you can install a real OS. android is frustration personified wouldnt make an alpha of any top totally free linux distro. .

tingtong Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 if the education include typing also, then tablet isnt a great stand alone. you will need a keyboard for it, or need a netbook. that said, now there is lots of 1500-2000thb tablets, with low specs, but useable. another option to buy some better but still chinese tablets, like Onda, or Ainol....3000-5000thb will get you a decent little mashine with reasonable screen resolution, and usually dual-quad core precessing power, along more ram, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow212 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks. I am in Bangkok. I might give panthip a try and see whats available. I only really want it for students to be able to look up information on the internet so there wont be any real requirement to type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 ACER has Gorilla Glass...recommended for kids. The glass in the really cheap tablets I mentioned before breaks easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaicbr Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Op. Advice Distribution are service center/ retailers for Scopad.. Not sure if they can provide the School apps pack or not.... may be worth asking. is it just one your getting or several? http://www.advice.co.th/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 If you are planning to use it in a classroom and have a TV available that has an HDMI port, then I suggest you get a tablet that has HDMI out. Just look on the side of the tablet. I can imagine trying to teach a class with a tablet's small display will be tough for the students but if you can output to a TV, much more effective. If you shop, you can find some decent, inexpensive ones with HDMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpofc Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 you may like to have a look at China.
