8GB of storage and iPhone 5 internals

Lol i got mine before that limitation. I got the 16GB model and it was fine and lasted really well till I got my 6s Plus which is still a champ.

I was not "I don't have a set budget, I would not want to go over 300 cad " also this seem a little overkill you youtube.

[lishde]

I am not getting the iPad, it's almost $500, the screen quality is a bit better than average but this is not super important to me.

i did zero research on this one, just the first one off NCIX, 170CAD, just tossing this one in as a start to move away from a rant about ipads.

OP isnt asking about the best all around tablet, OP wants a screen that can show him the netflix and the youtubes while on the dumping throne.

Pretty much I like haveing videos playing when cleaning and doing pc repairs, the Zen tab seems like a good deal.

there's probably better deals to be had, like i said, it's a starting point to find better from. i also have zero experience with browsing NCIX

I also hate apple as my mother is tech illiterate and was basically scammed by employees at an apple store.

[lishde]

Not saying your recommend is bad because my belives, but it will have to be a good deal for me to side with apple and so far it has not been.

Sounds harsh. 

 

Helps to know a thing or two about tech in today's world.

Wut??? Must be a crappy Apple store then. At the one I go to, the employees are awesome, and are never pushy or try to get you to buy stuff. How did they scam her?

Can be tricky for oder people. My aunt (actually my Mum's aunt, so my great aunt) is also hopeless at tech. Just got a call (literally as I was typing this) and Outlook has magically stopped working.

i stumbled upon a job opening for my local apple store once.. explained one or two things..

- ALL of them are on commission, and not by a small margin seeing the cost of the devices they sell.

- they dont really search for people who know tech, but more so people who are enthousiastic about the brand

- there's regular brainwashing sessions trainings to bring you up to speed on the latest apple stuff

- they have no alternatives to compare against, everything under the roof is apple.

[lishde]

I'm a very slow typer and don't like talking through text. basically, they sold her this thing https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00F7QKNPE/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i1?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00F7QKNPE&pd_rd_r=5ZQJW6QPQ5ASWY4R6KZ0&pd_rd_w=0qG7A&pd_rd_wg=HoUPo&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=CC9725BSRANTD79XS0FT&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=7eef9c1b-376b-4be5-b407-d721444e78f1&pf_rd_i=desktop

200 cad and told her things like this is a good deal for a device like this and most other brands at lower price points are as big as a cellphone and would be uncomfortable to go to the gym and things like that. when that is relly just not true.

That's not a scam, that's commission. Also they aren't wrong. 

[lishde]

I agree scam was too harsh. but still, don't like it.

 

[lishde]

but yes they are wrong, around the same size, easier to use, longer battery life and almost quarter the price.

There is always something cheaper. 

 

Although I dont see a radio in that thing. Unlike that old af iPod.

So they wouldn't want to hire me, would they... I'd be happy to sell Apple stuff, but not at the expense of someone overpaying for their needs or feeling cheated.

That was an example found in under 30 seconds, she did not need a radio, I can find more examples. I will now ignore this as I consider it a waste of time and not related to what I asked.

because i'm a bit in the mist on where to look in canada, could you grab the approximate spec sheet of the tablet i linked, and look around for similar products that would fit your budget, and style choices?

[lishde]

iv found this one and it seems fine, but I don't know much about tablets.

Please keep the OP needs in mind, he mentioned multiple times before that he's in Canada and can't spend more than $300 CAD (not USD).
