This doesn't pertain to sims really, but I know that I can find the info I need here from ones who do know about electronics. I hope it is okay to ask for help here, if not, would the moderators let me know and I will delete this.
Hubby and I are thinking of surprising our son with a tablet. I know that they aren't at the level of laptops or computers to do the heavy games, such as Fallout, but something he can do some gaming on. The electricity went out the other day for just over four hours. Then, after we thought it was gong to be okay, it went out again for five hours. For hubby and me not too bad, we went to bed. For him, he had slept most of the day and so had a long evening of nothing to do.
He will have to have a large screen (looking at 10 inch) in order to play games on it and no strain to read it and I'm trying to keep it around $250 to $300. I've been checking them out at Amazon, and one concern is what many call bloating, wasted space with ads and junk he would never use, such as Skype. He social phobic with agoraphobic tendencies (hardly ever goes out in public) and think that taking selfies is a bit narcissistic
He has mentioned wanting one to use when he has to take his dad to physical therapy for me; give him something to do while waiting. He wants to use it to look up stuff for his games (such as the new Fallout) for maps and such while he is playing. His computer died, and it will be a while before we can get him another one. We can come up with approx. $300 for a tablet, but not $6,000 for a computer right now.
Suggestions? Tips to help me pick out something for him? I asked him what he wanted and he said he didn't have any real knowledge about tablets, his focus has been on computer and gaming systems.
Thanks for any help that can be given to me.
