Can you point to an android tablet that gets updates 7 years after it's introduction?
- smoyer 9y agoI've been buying my kids Android tablets for $80 every few years. The iPad was close to $700 when I bought it. I can update Android with an open distribution for a long time after the device is out of warranty but I can't install a browser because Apple decided my hardware couldn't handle IOS 6. I have an Apple PowerBook G3 Wallstreet that still runs and even has reasonable battery life. I'm not using it because it's simply too slow but I can still load a modern Linux on it. This is how hardware should become obsolete.
- SmellyGeekBoy 9y agoNo, but you could buy a fairly high end Android tablet every 2 years and the TCO over 7 years would still be comparable to the iPad, which I think is the point the GP was making.
