For the price of Apple pencil you will get a real snappy tablet with 8 gigs of RAM, 128GB storage and very bright (I think it's over 400 nit) and vivid IPS display. It runs YouTube 4k vids without stuttering. The tablet has some old navigation chip (gps-only), but I personally don't use built-in navigation anymore and I recommend you to build a Stratux EU to receive/transmit traffic information and get a reliable position indication as well (via ublox M8N chip).

Rugged and waterproof, quick hardware, Android 12 ready, pen and case included, great size (8") and bright screen... with exchangeable battery... YouTube channel

Perfect size, very long battery life (have seen +7 hours flight time with SD without needing external power source) and low price on the plus side. A bit slow for planning in the device, but have had no issues in flight using internal GPS. Use my phone as hotspot to get data access on ground and if needed in air. I have looked at iPad but just don't find price value reasonable and seems there is issues with battery life and overheating, as high performance in small formfactor has it's drawbacks. Hope you find what works for you. Nice!! And seems like a good price, I will have a look. Thank you! My problem with ipads is the price :/

d Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 0	+x Gerhard66 - 11/17/2021 7:45:15 PM How about a refurbished iPad 4 mini cellular!? It’s in your price region. Please consider also availability of software updates over the years. Thank you, I will look onto that. My problem is that it is already from 2015, it might soon become outdated
