Location: Pacific Northwest | My laptop is officially a goner and I can't afford to replace it. Currently my only way of browsing the internet is my iPhone, which is a 5c I got from my aunt because my newer 6 was stolen at work several months ago when I still worked at TSC. So it's a small screen.
I just want something slightly larger that isn't going to break the bank. I would LOVE to save up for one of the bigger iPads, but that's not possible right now.
My mom has one of the first version of Kindles that came out and I actually like it but I can't remember if you can browse the internet.
What does everyone have?

Location: Gainesville, TX | So I have an iphone 6, a Kindle Fire, and one of those new ipads. The iPad is the best because it just does so much. If all you want to do is occasionally surf the internet, watch some netflix, and read, the Kindle Fire will serve you fine. Have you looked into an iPad mini though? They have a bit more functionality and are about the same size as the Kindle Fire. |

| I have a practically brand new Verizon tablet that I'd sell dirt cheap to get out of my closet! I thought I wanted a tablet that I could use my data with, but I used it about twice and that's it! You don't have to have verizon to use it if you use Wi-fi! Message me if interested! |

Location: Nebraska | I have a microsoft surface. It's ok for just browsing the internet but I wouldn't recommend it for anything else. I bought a keyboard off ebay for cheap but they really try to get you on paying for the keyboard and the little pencil thing. My surface has had nothing but problems with charging and losing the internet. |

| I have a tablet that I bought fro QVC for about $50. I take care of mine so it has lasted a long time. If I decide to get one that has more features, I will get another one from QVC. Happy with mine. |

I thought about that but I just don't think I "need" a laptop anymore. My parents have a desktop for if I ever need to print anything. |

What kind is it? My parents did the same thing a few years ago and I'm not a huge fan of that tablet. It's kind of glitchy and doesn't scroll very well. |

For me my Ipad and wireless key board are all I need BUT there will be times when you need to borrow their computer. Our kindel is a small screen, has no app options and is slow as christmas but is perfect for my kiddo. |
