Not only bad for the brain, but bad quality too. Excellent for torturing the red-headed step-child.
I bought this tablet back in August 2022 for a Christmas present, well I didn’t check it out very well before the 90 return window and I wish I had. My granddaughter hasn’t even got to use the thing. It’s very slow and after much research I’m supposed to add a Micro SD card for it to even work, but I see nothing in the information section of the tablet saying that. Can someone help me to get this thing working or did I waste my money?
Oh I’m sorry to hear you bought this. There’s nothing to make it faster; with an SD card it might be useful for displaying pictures or watching YouTube, but not much beside. It seems to use similar components with 1st gen smart displays, so it could maybe do video calls, but I’m afraid even Samsung and Lenovo can’t provide a decent tablet for 50. Amazon with Kindle and Walmart with Onn subsidize their tablets by selling services, ads, and locking devices into their ecosystem(s), but they’re worth looking into, especially once jailbroken.
Wow, I forget there was a material shortage a few years back that caused prices to jump.
About five years back, you could get a jailbroken “ruggedized” tablet that had a kid-friendly OS for US$50. (I theorize because companies took abandoned-but-competitive hardware at no-cost and built a kid-OS around them; they were all the rage in 2015, but no one uses nVidia cores in 2020+.)

I’m also looking at the booming kids’ tablet market. Like the 2015 reviewed tablet I linked (that I bought and jailbroke for myself because it was an awesome piece of hardware), the specs on something like this seems way too good for the price-point.

(The screen is incredibly low quality and everything will look zoomed in, but there is lots of internal storage and it might even be fast.)
