So I'm 13, and I am looking to upgrade my tablet. I would like an expensive tab s6 or s5e, but you know how expensive those are and there would be no way I could work up this amount of money as a 13 year old. So while I was browsing ebay, I found this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Newest-10-1-Inch-tablet-Android-9-0-Octa-Core-8GB-RAM-128GB-ROM-4G-FDD-LTE-Wifi/392918357004?hash=item5b7bc2540c:g:1JwAAOSw63ZfQ1et

I was super intrigued. I know it's probably a scam, but they have a 30 day money back guarantee

 What's the worst that can happen? Btw my current tablet is a galaxy tab a 10.1. Something is broken so now it is really slow. 

Should I buy it? I will give you guys an update when I make a decision.

Scam. What tablet do you have galaxt tab 10.1 is a whole series. A quick reset of the tablet would probably solve it.

I don't think that's a complete scam. I'm sure that if you buy that, something will show up in the mail a month later. But even if everything they say about it is true (which I sincerely doubt) a $50 tablet isn't going to perform well, and it's certainly not going to perform any better than a Galaxy Tab 10.1. 

 

Quick side-note, the fact that they advertise a "30 day money back guarantee" shouldn't be a motivator to buy. If a scammer is willing to lie once, they're willing to lie 100 times.

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)
