My gran wants a tablet, she just wants it for the usual web browsing,email, youtube viewing, also viewing sheet music pdf files.

She doesn't play video games so that's not necessarily a selling point,.
I have looked at various ones but find it hard to make a choice between them all, so many different makes and varieties?

I quite like the apple ipad mini4 or the samsung s2, apple do sell refurbished, but they seem expensive for what are essentially secondhand goods?
And if someone is used to windows is it hard for them to learn ios or android?

looking to spend around £150-300 ($180-370)

/g/ is the wrong place to ask about tablets as it's frequented by Asperger's Syndrome sufferers who enjoy tinkering obsessively with computers.

Tablets don't really provide an opportunity for tinkering, as they provide slick, secure and reliable access to useful software applications (or "apps") without any complications, so naturally /g/ can't see the point of them.

Furthermore, /g/ posters tend to have oversized phones, which makes possession of a tablet even more pointless in their eyes. The concept of a book-sized device that you can use on train, bus or airplane without having to squint at has no merit to them since they very rarely travel anywhere.

If pushed, /g/ users may grudgingly recommend Windows tablets, as they have a "real" operating system. The fact that Windows is designed for computers with keyboards and mice, and is a terrible touch OS with barely any touch-optimised software, means that these "tablets" are really laptops without keyboards, running software designed for desktops.

Finally, you will hear mention of the Nexus 7 2013. A three year old device with poor build quality and no SD card slot. This is because a few /g/ residents dabbled with the device when it was new and exciting, and have refused to move on with the times.
