| Tablet advice 14:22 - Nov 4 with 683 views | bluelagos | Going traveling shortly - don't want to take a laptop - or rely on my phone apps - but do want to be able to access banking and/or some interwebbing on hotel wifis. Phone worries me in case it's pinched... Thinking the best solution is a cheap reliable tablet - would probably put a vpn on it so can access Uk sites easily. Any simple, cheap recommendations?

I've used it abroad with a VPN to watch the various UK channels, and I would highly recommend it. It's also highly rated. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3281321?clickPR=plp:2:4 [Post edited 4 Nov 14:29]

I do my all my online banking on a computer. But if you do online banking on a phone, I don't think this is any different. And I can't see why you can't download the apps. It would, however, be advisable to get internet security and a VPN. EDIT: it has the Play Store, and the Nationwide banking app is available. [Post edited 4 Nov 14:39]

It uses Android 13 which I think is pretty up to date. |  | |  |

Yeah, I heard that Android 12 was a bit rubbish |  |

There are loads of refurbished ipads and ipad minis out there. Only thing to double check is when Apple stop supporting them. |  |
