Tablets for kids - recommendations needed

So, I’ve been asked by my sister to suggest a tablet each for my niece (8yo), and nephew (18mo). I’m usually good with tech and can recommend good phones based on the reviews I’ve watched but my usual sources rarely review tablets, especially those of a more budget price point.

Fire tablets seem to be the go-to for when buying for kids but I’m not sure if this is the best bet, it seems that they’re a cheap means to an end but don’t last all that long, plus don’t have all of the functionality of your usual Android device. The only redeeming feature, as far as I can see, is the price.

What I’m looking for in both are tablets that will last a while with a good few years of updates. For my 8yo niece’s tablet, the ability to do schoolwork on it is a priority; something which you can get extra peripherals for (keyboard, stylus, etc.), would be amazing and with a decent size screen. A headphone jack wouldn’t go amiss, either. For my 18mo nephew, something a tad more rugged will be needed. Nothing too advanced but with good battery life would be amazing.

I’m not 100% sure in. Budget (I’ll try to get that answered today), but I’ll look at what is suggested in the meantime. Any help with this is much appreciated!

Need a Samsung Gaming tablet

Hello everyone. I am currently in the process of looking for a new tablet, to replace my Outdated/slowing dieing Teclast tablet. I am looking for a Samsung tablet (preferably a Samsung at least), with a great processor, at least 8gb of RAM, and at least 128gb of storage for gaming and editing videos. I would like to keep the price limited to about $300 (USD).

And yes, I know I did post this on another subreddit, just trying to get as much advice as possible, not spamming.

Which one is a better choice ipad vs tablet

I was expecting for a new base model of ipad but it didn't came out.

Anyways i am currently thinking about buying and ipad or tablet. I will use them mainly to use side apps that are not critical in use. Maybe downloading articles/ taking notes, gaming, reading code, watching pluralsight/netflix etc. and only keep critical simple apps in my phone such as uber/Whatsapp etc.

I used first gen ipad air and it was awesome but battery died after 2-3 years, battery became a baloon and bend the screen. Last time i see it was ready to explode.

Ipad will probably die after 5years because of battery and won't be as fancy as first buy. In the other hand tablet is gonna die in 4-5years too in both way as battery and os by time.

But in anyway they will die right about same time. And i feel like it doesn't worth more money for some better quailty. Do you people have any other thought? Lastly apk feels kinda feels relieving but app store seems good too.

Mainly using android as phone but close to renew it probably with an android again but maybe i can turn to iphone too idk.

Is a tablet with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB ROM good?

Will there be any lag between gaming (not high GB games like Genshin or PUBG or anything) and switching between tabs, etc.?

"Tab 12 Pro 5G 10 inch display" - it's what's written in a local market's magazine booklet. And 6000 MAH. ​

Tablet for an artsy wannabe writer with tired eyes?

Hello everyone, I've been falling down the rabbit hole of searching for my "perfect" device the last few months and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for advice. My phone mostly satisfies my needs as far as multimedia and book reading go, but even with its' biggish screen reading RPG rulebooks on it is kind of pain and that originally prompted my search. An ereader with large screen would solve that problem but its not really enough of an upgrade to justify buying, so I was looking for extra functions.

I'm looking for a tablet/ereader that would let me comfortably take handwritten notes and make at the very least rough sketches (so matt/paperlike screen probably?), work with an external kboard for typing (preferably USB, BT is acceptable), operate on Android and have features that would help reduce eye strain as I do read A LOT. Good battery life is a great bonus and an SD slot is a must (so bye-bye matepad matte sadly, as this was my original find).

I've looked at Onyx Boox e-ink tablets, but I'm unsure how they handle large and dynamically browsed PDFs and the supposed fragility of eink screen kinda scares me, plus there are apparently some issues with typing. I'm talking specifically Note Air 3/C, as the Tab ones are not really in my budget.

I've also had XPPen drawing board tablet recommended, but I could find very little about it, doesn't seem too popular and I'm not sure about it's cooperation with kboard for typing.

I've seen some recommend getting a whatever tablet for the specs and then applying a screen foil ? that's etched to get that paper like feel when using stylus. Is that a viable option? I am unsure if it has a special name. Could it potentially hinder pressure levels when using stylus?

As far as the tablet is concerned, I couldn't care less about speakers or camera, microphone, etc. If I were to prioritize my needs, I guess it would go handwriting/drawing > kboard typing > ebooking/pdfing like a dungeon master on steroids > eye strain reducing capabilities. I prefer Android over other OS but it's not a deal breaker, lack of SD slot is though. Screen size I'd say.. 10.3 - 11"

Can anyone help or was my mum right and I should lower my expectations? :) thank you all in advance

Lenovo Tab P11 (2. Gen) Tablet | 11,5" 2K Touch Display | MediaTek Helio G99 | 4GB RAM | 128GB SSD | Android 13 | grau | inkl. Lenovo Precision Pen 2

My mother wants a tablet for her work stuff, mostly to look at calendar, maybe a few online meetings, writing a email maybe. She is using the galaxy s22 as her main phone i think.

I use iPhone and iPad which works fine but i think apple might be wrong for her because she got a galaxy as her main phone.

I used to flash custom roms on samsung phones and kernel and other stuff but i have no clue about tablets.

What can you recommend? Is this a good one? Price should be around 300-500€

Using a tablet as a phone

I am really struggling here. I've bought 2 tablets that I was told could make and recieve phone calls. However both, I have come to find, only work with a smartphone. I need a tablet (Or tablet sized screen) for work that can make calls and texts by itself. Is there such a device anymore?

Thoughts on Xiaomi Pad 6 Max 14?

To those here that use the 14 inch xiaomi tablet, how is it holding up for you? Got the stylus specifically for it? How is it? I'm somewhat interested in buying the tablet for note taking and for pdfs and overall for studying. But I can't seem to see any reviews on the product online. Will appreciate the help.

Apparently it's just a Mi pad 6 pro that's bigger so if you have that and the stylus, please share your experiences.

What pens are compatible with Lenovo Tab M11?

The only two pens I found on the spec sheet is the Tab Pen and Tab Pen Plus but I can't find either of them being sold around here. Would another type of Lenovo pen work just fine or maybe a third party option? Recommendations are appreciated.

IPAD or Android tablet?

I have been thinking for awhile about getting an IPAD Pro (mostly due to the 13" screen) with everything I selected and keyboard it will cost 3k.

Story time: I had an IPAD 4th Gen before everything was great I liked it until it dropped and obliterated my screen. Went to get a cheap screen replacement however I didn't use it much since then. Now obviously all the apps and stuff can't be used since they need to be updated to higher iOS.

I will either surf the net, play games and watch netflix or disney plus.

The argument will probably be to either just get a regular IPAD instead of IPAD Pro or just use my phone... But I want the larger screen

My questions:

  1. are android tablets better ? Can they attached to a keyboard they same way as an IPAD ?

  2. Are the games on the apple store better ?

  3. or with the amount of money I am spending must well get another laptop ? **problem can't carry it everywhere..

Thank you for sharing your insights and thoughts.

Samsung S7 FE or Samsung S8?? HEELPPP

I found a seller selling Samsung galaxy tab S7 FE for 19, 000 pesos (256gb/ 8gb) but no S-pen and keyboard included and the other one selling Samsung galaxy tab S8 for 26,000 pesos (256gb/ 8gb) includes an S pen and a keyboard (a very plus for me) in the deal.

I am looking for a student friendly tablet to help me in my school (med) which I require a good quality for note taking and space for all my e-books.

Looking for Tablet Reccs - Coming From Android

I am used to Android, but am willing to try out iPad if the experience is much better. To be honest though, I do find IOS a bit hard to use and unintuitive, so I'm a bit worried that will detract from the experience for me.

My use case is mostly for watching downloaded videos on the plane and reading PDFs.

I want something with good battery and reliable for many years (not necessarily software updates, but at least won't slow down too much in a few years).

Prefer something light in weight if possible. Don't want mini size, standard 10" is okay. At least 128 gb. Budget is maybe $500, but I can be talked into higher for something amazing.

Is samsung tablet a9 8.7 inch worh it?

Hi everyone, I have mi pad 5 and it's great but a little big for traveling and holding while laying down. I'm looking for a small tab and couldn't find good one maybe a9 is the most close one. Apple is out of my choices because I hate ads and their OS that take my freedom. Lenovo y700 is the best but not available in my place. I really think of buying a9 will it be worse than mi pad 5? My usage just steaming and web browsing

Minisforum V3 - Venting the kickstand?

I don't have mine yet, but was wondering if it would be possible to "vent" the top of the kickstand and then just use the bottom half like the million other tablet case kickstands...

By "vent" I mean drill holes or cut squares out to match the fan locations. I know that would mean that those fans holes in the actual tablet would be always exposed, but is that a concern? How about 3d printing small thin sliding doors as covers?

Don't mind me... just trying to reinVENT the... well vents...

Thoughts?

I’m getting second thoughts

I have ipad mini 6 64gb for almost 2yrs now. But i need more storage coz im playing so many games like Genshin and other games. So I thought I will sell my ipad then buy the XIAOMI PAD 6 with 256gb of storage.

Should I do that? Or stay with my ipad?

Need opinions since I don’t know about xiaomi pads. Been using apple since then.

Thanks in advance!

<£200 tablet for drawing (w/ pen), and casual browsing/movies (UK)

Looking for a tablet good/powerful enough for drawing (I use Krita), but lightweight (and cheap) enough to be carried around as a casual tablet for browsing and watching movies.

I'm not a professional illustrator, so no need for crazy specs. I'm not a casual artist though - I do draw a lot, and need OK specs: 2048 levels of pressure, good color fidelity and able to handle dozens of A4 layers at 1k ppi. Screen size bigger than A5, smaller than A4.

Any suggestions?

PS: currently I use the Wacom Intuos (model below), which is fine in terms of resolution (though note that what I want now is an actual standalone tablet, where I can draw on the screen). https://www.ipohonline.biz/wacom-intuos-art-cth-690-bo-creative-pen-touch-tablet-with-free-art-pack
