Please don't shoot me

I'm looking for a decent tablet for my kids to share.
I made the mistake of buying "children's tablet" from pigsback before xmas. They did nothing but cause a bloody argument they were so slow. The lag between pressing a button and the app actually opening infuriated me never mind the kids

We had a great lenovo, and despite having a kid friendly cover, it was dropped and landed right on the corner and the screen smashed

I've a kindle here that they use but the lack of the play store in a pain in the bum

Please don't think my kids are 24/7 on screens. They just like to play a few games every now and then, and I'm not gunna lie, I enjoy the half hour here and there

So

I need android
Screen size doesn't matter
Speed does matter, a lot, lagging drives me demented
Cheap as possible

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction???


Muchos in advance

Lagging is directly related to the microprocessor speed in the device.

The microprocessor is the single most important and expensive part of any tablet, phone, PC, etc.

The better the processor the less lagging you will experience.

The device manufactures don't make the processors, they buy them off Qualcomm or Intel. So if they pay a lot for the possessor microchip they have to charge a lot for the device as a whole otherwise they can't make a profit.

That is why you can't get a device with no lag and get it cheaply at the same time unless you buy something used off an auction site which is what I do.

You've bought a couple of tablets up to now. What sort of budget do you have in your head? I understand you mentioned cheap as possible, but you must have a ballpark figure?

Does it have to be new btw? Did you try on adverts.ie?

Would an old phone not to the job just as well if the screen size is not an issue? My 3.5 year old doesn't care if he watches stuff on a kindle, android tablet or a phone. I'd say you must have an aul phone lying around that you could strip of all apps apart from the ones the kids use.

Put the play store on the Amazon tablet. It's not that hard, Google it

Just make sure you get a 16gb Fire, the 8gb will break your heart constantly moving apps to the SD card!
