I’ve got an iPad, it’s very easy to use. In my experience they are very reliable too, this is my second one, my first lasted over 6 years and was still functional when I upgraded.

I have had tablets since they first came on the market.
iPad (can’t recall)
Samsung 2014
iPad 2019
iPad 2022

My next one will be a Samsung. Apple build obsolescence into their devices (in my opinion) when you install an update as they always seem to slow down and battery life decreases. I have been through 2 iPads in the time my DH has had one Samsung which he’s had since 2016 and he’s only just got a new one.

If you want to use Google or Microsoft, Apple make it as hard as they can bacause they only want you to use Apple products. My touchscreen is starting to fail so won’t be long before I have to replace.

I like my Samsung Galaxy about £160.00.

My tablet is playing up and I think I need to get a new one. I use it a lot. I started with a Tesco Hudl which was great for years,then had a Samsung which was good. Latterly I have had a Levono which has disappointingly only lasted 18 months.
I'm not great with technology and not very intuitive. I think I want to get another Samsung.I like touchscreen. Anyone bought one recently they would recommend please? TIA
