[vcf-midatlantic] Semi-OT: Cheap tablets for museum

[chrisjpf33 at gmail.com]

Do a search on the newegg.com website. They have a huge variety of almost everything computer related. I bought a cheap but decent Android tablet a couple years ago. I think it was around $50.

Everyone,

We're going to use some tablets in the museum as information kiosks.

I bought a fifty-dollar Amazon Kindle Fire 7. Going to return it. It's a nice tablet, but I found out that Amazon's version of Android limits a bunch of things that we would need for a kiosk mode. Nevermind the details of how/why; that's a long story. Bottom line is we need something with conventional Android.

I'd like recommendations for other sub-$100 Android tablets (the more sub-$100, the better). Performance is not an issue: all they have to do is run a browser. Android 5.x and minimal hardware specs is good enough.
