Best Bang For my Buck and reliability

[EricTheGr8]

Ive been in the market for a tablet for my 6 year old daughter....im steering away from kid tablets because I figured I could probably just get a better one for the money by getting a regular one and just download whatever she might use on it. Also id probably share it with her and use it when shes not.

Im looking to get the most bang for my buck and maintain quality and reliability after trying to keep it within the $100 range its been tricky trying to find quality im willing to go up to around the $150 range now.

Ive looked at and researched a lot...thought about last years model of nexus 7 since the price drops but also looking at the sero 7 pro and memo pad hd...while a larger tablet would be nice the price ranges are higher if you want quality so anything good in the 7-9 inch range compareable to these machines would probably be fine...share your expertise and opionions thanks.

It's sounds like a Kindle Fire HD 7" tablet at $139 is in your price range and are of high quality from a company with customer service second to none.

I had a friend who got a kind fire hd and she was unhappy with it because of the lack of camera...id prefer camera expandable storage and things of that nature....its for entertainment ...web stuff videos Skype chat games

that's why kindles were not in my selection of possibilities..was also unsure if there was something I overlooked or didn't know about

If you're into used, I have an Acer A500 (that I'm not selling) that's been working for around 4-5 years without issues. Everyone in my family has dropped this thing at least once and it still works like day 1 (it doesn't even have a case either). It has a 2MP front-facing and 5MP rear-facing camera. It's rock solid, but a 10.1". If you can find one used, they're a good bet.

It really seems like you might be better off getting something used in that price range if you can find something. There are quite a few no-brand tablets out there in the $100-$150 range, but they usually have far less on-board memory (2 or 4GB) and no memory card ports either. I've seen some like this at the drug store by my house.

A used iPad mini might be a good option as well? I've had one of those for a couple of years now. It hasn't gotten quite the abuse because of the protective case. I think it's a 7" or 8".
