DD’s ancient hand-me-down iPad Air is so old it doesn’t support most apps anymore, so it’s time to get her a new tablet. She’s only 5 so doesn’t need it to do anything fancy - we just use it to stave off boredom on long journeys, so we’ll put things like Netflix and iPlayer on there, a painting app she likes, some educational games etc.

I’m enmeshed in the Apple ecosystem but don’t want to buy her an iPad as they’re so expensive, but I don’t know enough about Android tablets to understand which ones offer a good balance of performance and price. Would really appreciate recommendations - thank you!

Ahh thanks @xmasdealhunter- I was warned off the fire tablets by a family member as apparently you have to subscribe for content?

Ah I forgot about that- we got a subscription to an ad free version as a gift. The other tablet we've had for the dc was the lenovo tab, which actually was the better tablet in terms of us using it too to occasionally watch a film etc Lenovo Tab M10 (3rd Gen) Android Tablet | 10-inch Full HD 1200p Display | 64GB | Wi-Fi 5 | 4GB RAM | Storm Grey : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
