    Hi folks, the above is a spec for a tablet going for 87 euro. It's for a 6 year old who loves a couple of apps and you tube.

    Can you advise me if it's a waste of money.


    Sincere thanks

    4.4 should be kitkat not Jellybean. 4.2 is Jellybean.
    Screen resolution isn't much adn ram very low.
    I'd stay clear imo.

    id go with 1gb of ram really at least. any of those on living social i would stay away from. most are never worth the money they are advertised as having being sold, * i saw one tablet that claimed to be 420e with 512mb ram. :eek:
    Also most of the daily deals, living social pages seem to take an age to come in, if it was for yourself i would tell you to go for a tablet from the likes of amazon or something like that.
    I would make sure you got a decent bumper case. Got the Asus memopad when it was reduced last year for the missus, bumper case cos she is clumsy only cost $12 and its like a fecking tyre. Dont care how stupid it looks it protects it. i can pm you pictures of what it looks like with the case.

    op whats your budget we might be able to help with something similar but better specced. Great to keep an eye on HotUKdeals the likes of Tesco`s Hudl and 2012 Nexus`s pop up for small money every now and again.

    My budget is as little as possible but something that can get a study case it's for a 6 and 8 year old you tubing

    Essentially if I need to biy something for 200 I will but would like to spend 100

    Just a quick browse through HUKD i seen this, im looking for something similar for my niece, im trying to get a Nexus 7 on the cheap for her but seen this might interest you. Works out around €60, while its not a beast in the spec department it should be fine for a nipper
