Hope it's okay to post in General with this. I thought it would get a wider selection of recommendations here.
My parents want to replace their cumbersome laptop with a tablet. They currently only use the laptop for browsing on the internet and read emails so it is surplus to requirements.
They have asked me to look into getting them a tablet which would only be used for browsing the internet and a using a few apps like Facebook, Internet banking etc etc
As they are in their 60s they don't need the latest and greatest device. The camera it comes with is not important as it won't be used. It only needs WiFi - doesn't need 3G. They have an Apple iPhone 4s between them but myself I have an android tablet and phone and a Windows Desktop PC. So really it doesn't matter what OS it runs either. We don't have any loyalty with any particular brand.
Finally don't really want to spend more than £200 if possible and I think it'd make sense to have a fairly large screen as they will be used to a laptop screen and eyesight is a contributing factor.
There's just such a plethora of different tablets out there it's difficult to know where to start?
Does anyone have any experience with the Amazon Fire tablets as I have been looking at them recently?
I'd like it to be new but would consider second hand from the right place.
Can anyone recommend a tablet that would fit the bill for them?
Thanks
