Ipad or not! That is a big???

OMG! What a day! It was a bit stressful day. Our new sofa arrived and at the same time our old sofa was collected by our friend who brought his friend to carry this outside of our flat and brought this to a trash garbage far from home together with hubby My hubby couldn't carry heavy things anymore because of his chronic backache so our teacher friend and his friend helped us. Before our friend went home, he left me his old reseted but still good Ipad. He has bought a new version of Ipad and so he offered me his old Ipad and I have to choose the price between 100 to 200€. For this money he will buy his painting materials like canvas and oil paints. I told him that I think about it. He allowed me though to get acquinted to the Ipad. I don't really need this gadget because I have my 1 year old Samsung Tablet besides having a laptop and a home computer. But I am tempted because the Ipad has 120+GB. A huge storage for my writing and photography hobbies. I have no idea about Ipad and so I called my Pinay best friend and she came over and showed me how to do it. My! What a techie brilliant friend I have. She thought me what to do and said I should only pay 100€ because for 200€ I could already buy a new one especially there will be plenty of sales coming this Christmas. What do you think? Do you think I should buy this? I think I will give my Tablet to my cousin when I go home to Pinas next year and buy this offered Ipad for myself. Anyway, how was your day fellow Mylotters. Now I have to take care of my notifications. God bless!

Thelma, the price of a 120 GB memory extension for a tablet is around $ 100. If you are interested to have an iPad, I would say to offer $ 100, it's the same amount of money you would spend to add a storage to your tablet and you acquire an Apple iPad for a cheap price, so you can evaluate how much you like it. Go for it.

If you can use it, then it sounds like a good buy for the lesser amount, as it's used.

@just4him , so true, it is a second-hand unit , so the price must be dropped.

@cacay1 yes. Though it is a second hand, the owner is a careful friend. Like you, he is a teacher and like my hubby, he is an artist who painted many oil paintings.

I don't have an iPad but think it's great to have. The reason I didn't get one is because I have an iPhone and a laptop and will probably not use the iPad much. It isn't cheap, so unless I will use it all the time, there is no point in getting one.

@thelme55 an iPhone is practically an iPad, just a much smaller size lol and you can call people from it. Not sure if you can make calls on an iPad, unless it's FaceTime.

Maybe your Pinay friend made a good advice. So buy it if you like it, then give away your tablet to your cousin back home. It's a good decision.

I am not familiar with Ipad but if this is still in good condition and at cheaper price then you might as well buy it as you already have the plan of giving away your Tablet.

Wow, 120 Gb data storage! But your friend is right, haggle to have it cheaper. Tell the seler that you can already buy that when there's sale indeed for that lower price. Good thing, you asked you Pinay friend for that advise.

Better buy it, my friend, should there be a budget for that to avoid heartaches on your friend's side. She might need the money so badly, and yes, don't buy it at 200 euro for that is a second hand. Things like that depreciate, so ask for some discount.Take care.

If you are familiar with the way to use this I-pad, it would probably be a very good investment. Yes, maybe you should get it, for your own personal use. I had a good day, that started out in a low mood. Now, I feel better than before.

The storage capacity is tempting. Ipad generally have wonderful battery life and will serve you well outdoors. My advice: Buy if you can afford it without pain.

I don't know because I haven't really use an ipad. I have seen one, it's up to you whether you want to buy one or not. If you think it's useful then it's no problem buying it. But then if there are other things to buy worth 100$ then maybe it's not practical to buy it.
