    I love iPads but I certainly don’t use it as a computer. For me it’s about reading watching and general whatever when I’m home (never take it to work, at work the only tech I carry is my phone)

    My latest is iPad 10 generation. It’s 10.9 inch. Only WiFi,no cellular, and 256 capacity. And I’m fine with that.

        I have a Samsung Android tablet that is 5 years old, bought for $250.

        I keep it on the exercise bike for watching movies. It works great.

          Got an Amazon Fire for $125, four or five years ago. Surf the web, watch YouTube and Prime. Still works okay.

            I finally swapped my Fire for an iPad last year, for about $400. It was really an unnecessary treat, but I haven't regretted it at all.

            I was only joking

              I've never used a Fire. How does it differ?

                It's Android based, but it's very limited in terms of apps as Amazon put a front-end on it which only lets you download their content. It's ok for web browsing, and good for Kindle books, but it's quite slow compared to an iPad. I would say it really is very good value for money if you just want to surf and read.

                  There is a work-around for apps from the Google store, with the caveat that not 100% will work right.

                  But I agree, for surfing and reading it does well. And if you have Prime, your streaming stuff is very handy.

                    Exercise bike? Did you move on from the treadmill?

                    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                      I had to dump the treadmill last year. It was noisy and I didn't have a good place for it in the new house. And after 20,000+ miles it was time for a change.

                      Now I just have the cycle, it is almost silent and fits nicely in a corner in the unfinished attic. But I do go to the Y to use their equipment sometimes I still like time on the treadmill there.
