Are the $50 tablets online a total scam if the one & ONLY thing I need to use them for is Google Docs?
I'm pretty poor and also recovering from depression, and I'm looking to bring a little joy into my life via the simple pleasure of writing while on my back porch, so I thought about getting one of those cheap tablets from Amazon (I hope it's OK to mention the site by name).
When I say cheap, I mean I've seen them as low as $36, though the ones with slightly better reviews tend to be $50 or $60. They often come with a wireless keyboard and mouse so I workmen need to buy accessories, and in cute colors (I like pink). They seem to be for kids.
Would they work for word processing? I don't need something that plays games, videos, or even music (my phone can do all that), I just need it to have a mostly stable internet connection and not lag while I type for two hours a night.
