Default tablet for the boss

so i'm looking for a tablet for the boss. she likes to lay in bed and play her games and facebook and whatever. we have an ipad but she's always fighting with the 11 year old over it. i want something good and something cheap. any you guys have experience with tablets? i guess around $2 beans or so.

as a secondary , I would say the Google Nexus 7. It's a little smaller, but fully functional. 16gb for $199, 32 gb for $249. That is just my opinion, I know there are others that are bigger, faster, etc.

We had the same problem with our 10 year old. Got him the I-PAD mini for $285.00 for his birthday. Exactly same functionality as full I-Pad just smaller. Whatever it is I bet she finds herself wanting to use the I-PAD instead....I have to admit those things are hands down the sh*t compared to some android based tablets that we have owned.

Not too much experience with tablets, but I do have experience with bosses.

Let the boss keep the Ipad and get something cheap for the kids.

The boss and our 2 young children have these, and love them-

You can load just about any app for any purpose on them.
