Full disclosure, I'm cross posting between here and androidcentral, in hopes of getting some solid opinions quickly, considering this time of year is kind of a deal/buying frenzy.
Long story short, we donate to a family charity and help fulfill christmas lists for kids in struggling families.
The budget per older child is about $120 to $150. (2DS and such can normally be afforded)
Amazon has the new Fire HD 8 on sale for Black Friday, and that's being considered.
But I did some extra looking around and found a ton of mixed-review pure-android devices for 150 and under.
For kids in middle school (11-13) having an *obviously* cheap product can be kind of embarrassing, and tablets are actually a pretty common request this year... So I was hoping to maybe get some insight or recommendations from people who are 'in the know'.
Thanks guys.
