They're on offer at Argos at the moment.

I don't use an iPad, smart phone or indeed a mobile phone of any kind. I just wondered if it would make a suitable back-up for my desk top.

As a convenient way to have touch screen internet access via wi-fi or mobile data they are quite useful.

Add a bluetooth keyboard and you can even get some work done.

Watch out for the dopamine trap where great chunks of time compress into milliseconds of informative pleasure.

Anything serious I prefer to use a laptop or desktop
