i don't understand why people don't invest just a little bit more money and research into their purchases, i bought a used samsung galaxy note 10.1 2012 edition back in august of 2013 for $250. it was in constant use from august 2013 (running cyanogenmod) all the way to march 2018 (running an unofficial build of lineageos). the reason for failure was due to me hitting the program/erase cycle on the eMMC (the internal storage) causing failure because the chip write protected itself. the screen was fine despite being 1280x800, the performance even on lineageOS 14.1 was actually quite good for its age, and the battery still lasted for 12-13 hours all the way till the end. it lived for over
5 years.
to this day i don't understand why people don't invest a little bit more cash for a tablet for themselves that will actually last several years.
doesn't seem to make sense to buy a $50-100 tablet (depending on screen size) that will just break in a year (often due to the charging port failing) when they can spend $200-250 instead and get an infinitely superior experience as well as an additional often 4-5 years of lifespan, the end of the 5 years which will result in a performance degrade to if you would have just bought a kindle fire instead. whereas if you bought a kindle fire and it lasted 5 years it wouldn't even be compatible with many apps due to its ancient android versions (the newest model of kindle fire runs
android 5.1, the latest android version is 8.0 oreo and android P is well on its way).
i could understand if maybe it's your first tablet and you're not 100% sure or you're buying it for the kid who would just break it in 3 months anyways.
but still, pay a bit extra money now and you'll end up saving money in the long term. remember that $10 boot and $50 boot adage? turns out it applies to a hell of a lot more than just boots.
