I have decided, after much agonising, to get my child a tablet for xmas. Child is 8. I am far from rich so this is a big decision and I want to be sure to spend my money wisely.
We currently own a laptop and I have a smart phone that is on its last legs and so child can't access apps on it.
So...dilemma is, do I go for an Amazon Fire 7 (£60) or a Lenovo Tablet 4.8 (£100). Wish I;d been organised enough to benefit from the Black Friday deals!
Ideally I'd like something that has access to educational apps - something to encourage doing maths, in particular. Child is also interested in languages and would like to encourage this via an app .
I really hate seeing kids glued to mindless games. I accept it will be used for that but if I can sneak some good stuff on too, it will balance out the brain rot. Any recommnedations?
We have Amazon Prime (I get it half price because I am studying) so we can access all the Amazon stuff.. I've had a look at the apps available there and they look a bit rubbish.Will it be advert filled and full of ways to make you spend money?
Is it worth paying a bit extra so we can get access to Google Play?
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks!
