I just bought 1 just now, cost me around RM815 only with discount. Took me a while to conclude n decide to bought this Tab but I think the price at Shopee was good enuff compared with brick n mortar shop which sell the tab at RM999 with cheap ass free gift. I rather not pay for a cheap cover n tempered glass but prefer the tab alone with lesser price. Anyway, this tab gud enuff for binge watching n net surfing but surely not for gaming.

Galaxy Tab A7 with 4 speakers is good enough for media consumption. If you want better watching experience then get the Tab S5e with amoled screen.

Yes yes this is the one can get free phone and cheaper data from your telco

Bought an Ipad for my parent 4 years ago, the good thing is easy to use, long battery life, super fast in wifi compare with my phone, now still very good looking thumbsup.gif

I would say ipad. I bought ipad2 back in 2011, and passed to my parents in 2015. They're still using it daily till today in 2022. 11years old ipad in service lol. Ease of use for old ppl. Till now they never asked me to fix or troubleshoot anything because it's simple and straightforward to use.

Same. I have been using the first generation ipad air since 2014. Still working fine till today tho the battery has obviously detriorated a lot and a lot of apps update no longer support it. But i only use it to facetime call my parents and it has no problem playing clash of clans too. Worth every single penny to get a better ipad and use for a long long time!
