ipad, android, kindle?

sin cal hd · 11-29-2013, 12:53 AM

What do guys have? We have 1 gen 2 ipad that I bought my wife last year that our boys play all the time. So they know apple. I dont want to buy another new ipad. There are a bunch of off brand tablets that support google play and are cheap. Im really liking the mindle features and price for a new one. However, if I can find a used ipad that would be great. What do you all think?

Anyone have a used ipad willing to sell?

I just started using Steph's iPad and love it. Thought about other tablets to get but I think they use windows 8, which I hate with a passion. I think Steph is going to get me a I pad air for my birthday.

I am on ebay now looking at used ipads for my kids. I cant see buying new for a 5yo. They already know the functions of the ipad. Plus the cloud service would transfer a lot of the games they play already.

Wife wants a mini. Says the gen 2 is to heavy. She just told me that she can get a teacher disount through itunes. Not sure how much.

I have looked on amazon and CL. Found some good prices on used ones. People needing money and willing to sell for $200-$300

We have a gen 1 and I like the mini better. Haven't even used the MacBook Pro in over a year....

I went to best buy to get a galaxy tablet or IPad, but ended up with a microsoft surface pro. I got it because it runs Microsoft Office software, and my exchange account syncs my tablet and computer e-mails, scheduling, tasks, and files. It comes with Skydrive, so I have access to my important files from anywhere. If i didn't need to run Office software and type long e-mails, I would probably have gotten the Samsung.

I also got the magnetic keyboard, which is really nice to snap on and type with. When done typing, just pull it off and now it's back to being a tablet. More money, but i love it so far.
