A few hours each week, while I'm in appointments, etc, my kid watches movies on our Macbook. It's heavy and bulky to carry, and would be a horrific expense if lost. (I really have it for work.)
What is a cheap-to-buy, cheap-to-replace-if-stolen device that would be a better fit?
Ideally he would be able to:
-plug in headphones
-watch DVDs or downloaded movies (we don't have Wifi at all appointments)
-maybe play some games
-maybe do some schoolwork or learning
But the movies is what he tends to do, and would suffice.
I wonder if I should just get him a phone that can do all this -I want him to have one for safety soon anyway.
I'm also considering a lighter device for me to attach a keyboard to for my mobile work.
Is there one device that would meet all of these dreams for under, say, $400?
