    It's 250mb a month, isn't it? Should be plenty for a couple of Google Maps sessions a week.

    The HP Slate has been fairly well slated in reviews, though - poor screen and a few build defects. Could your daughter not use a mobile phone data allowance? If you get her a tablet, it should be able to use the mobile phone's data allowance (through wifi or Bluetooth) so you won't have to settle for a poor-quality tablet like the Slate.
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.
