The title is self-explanatory. We're not looking for the latest/greatest/fastest tablet, just something usable, with good memory and performance. Long battery life is also important. Any recommendations to buy or avoid would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
You need to better define what value means to you. Are you looking for the largest selection and broadest range of apps? That is one OS. Are you looking for the largest selection of cases and accessories? That is the same OS. Are you looking for the ability to tweak every single setting, but opening yourself to certain risks in having that ability? That is another OS. What kind of computer and phone do you use? That may have some bearing on what you would prefer. Do you have an upper dollar limit? Or can you afford to pay for whatever you decide is what you want, regardless of the initial cost?
Have you tried any tablets? If not, I suggest going to a store or borrowing a friends tablet and asking them about the device and their choices. Here you will find many on the Apple camp and many on the Android camp, and both are good choices for many people.
