WE have had a few, and I have been happy with Lenovo ones. I once had a 10" one, but it was eminently droppable, so I now have an 8" one. I recently bought Val a new 8" one, but it has Android 12 and is a pain to use. I recommend an 8" one over the 7" ones as it is significantly larger. Looking at my list, my tablet is Android 10 and my phone Android 13, and both are easy to use.
I suggest that we meet for coffee somewhere and you can have a play before committing. I got our latest from Currys for about £89. Via Quidco! cheers, Peter On 30/10/2023 10:18, Terry Coles wrote:
Hi, After years of resistance, I'm going to get a tablet! Ideally it would be one that ran Linux of course, but the main specs needed are good resolution and plenty of contrast. The reason for this is my deteriorating eyesight. Generally speaking, I'm OK with distance vision, but reading small text on coloured backgrounds is becoming increasingly difficult. This means that my magazine subscriptions are largely wasted because I cannot read them. However, I do know that I can read PDFs of the magazines on my wife's iPad and on my desktop monitor, so getting a decent tablet is probably the most convenient solution. If possible, I don't want to spend a fortune, so Samsung Galaxy Tabs at circa £1000 are out, and in any case the performance of this type of device is probably way over the top for reading a magazine. However, I am prepared to pay for the kind of performance I need, hence this query. Thanks in anticipation.
