    Deciding on a xmas present for the parents and undecided between the two. My parents basically want the tablet for using the internet and taking images. So I want to buy a reasonable one, but not spend too much money as the latest technology is not a priority.

    Tab E 9.6 in Argos at €169
    Tab A 9.7 in a local computer store at €239

    Is the added 8 GB/battery and the addition of lollipop OS over KitKat really worth €70. The computer store said the Tab A is the one to go for but given the type of usage I'm not sure the fastest internet is key. Surely Tab E is equally as good.

    2 other qs:
    Does it be necessary to buy antivirus on these?
    Does it be necessary to buy microsoft office on these? They don't come pre-installed

    Thanks
