Okay, so my mother who turns 70 this week decides that she wants a tablet for her birthday, so starts my dilemma.
Firstly she only wants to use it for reading E-mail, using Facebook, a little internet, nothing else really. She has a laptop, so I don't know why she really needs one, but my old man occasionally watches football using Sky.go, and she'd like to be able to mess around with FB etc while he is using the laptop. I also think, because of age that a 9" (quiet down in the cheap seatslol) SCREEN is important.
My Dad, who is buying it as a present, is willing to spend up to €300 (£260ish), but I don't think he needs to spend that much to get something that will suit her specs. Am I right?
I think the most important thing would be battery life (help me out here_)
I am sort of looking at two, can anyone tell me if they are any good, or recommend something else.
CnM 9 Inch 16GB Tablet, available from argos €159.99 >>> TABLET FROM ARGOS
OR,
Arnova Tablet with 10.1'' Screen €149, available from Harvey norman >>>> Tablet from Harvey Norman
Or feel free to tell me I am completely wrong, but Just don't suggest Apple products, I couldn't envisage learning how to use it to show her how.
