Can anyone suggest which one to get, that is not expensive. She has organised herself BT Broadband (which I am currently trying to help her set up) and needs something cheap, easy to read and straightforward to use
Thanks for any suggestions
If money is important then she could get the Amazon fire hd 8" for £80
or
Amazon fire hd 10" for £180
If family all want to chip in then she could get the iPad for £340This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

OP says the neighbour has now got the Lenovo. At 72, I have the same tablet in 8" format and found it to be a better picture than the 10" my neighbour has. Same resolution, same hardware & software, but more pixels in a smaller area.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.
