Specs ain't brilliant, but it's less than £80

Slightly better specs, and still (just) within your budget

Simple question, no need for 'sarky' comments, and please no computer speak...........

What do you do with a 'Tablet' and is is the same sort of thing as an I Pad? in essence, but cheaper..... :) Miss Vamps has a Blackberry, an I pod, not currently working properly, got to take it to the shop - does not always switch on but does if changing in the car, and a lap top........... ::) ::)

Her Blackberry was a replacement that was supposed to be for Christmas but she has had for a couple of months, got her some stuff she has asked for just thinking of a bit of a surprise...she is 12.

Any advice please..... :y

Yes, an IPad is a tablet, albeit a very good one. Others are similar, with thousands of apps that you can download and use - games, educational apps, books etc
