RCA 10" Touchscreen Tablet with Detachable Keyboard Clearance Sale $98 ***FREE SHIPPING***

Thanks. Kids both have HP Touchpads that I put Android on years ago, but they are getting pretty tired. Good budget replacement.

I also have one. Don’t expect much, but combine this with a monoprice (or primecables? Can’t remember) headrest mount for the car and you have a cheap video player for those long trips. Heck, at this price combine with some kid headphones and buy one for each kid.

Do you know what version of Android can be upgraded to?

There's a bit of info here on rooting it:

Don't completely rely on the specs shown on Walmart website as it might not be all accurate. We bought ours back in Dec. If I remember correctly, it should be 1 GB RAM (even it was listed on the website as 2GB) and 32GB ROM , and it came with Android 6.0 (but they are listing 5.0 now, and I think it is wrong).

Not sure if the Android version is upgradable. But I think Android 6.0 is pretty ok for general purpose. Believe or not, lot of those Chinese TV Boxes currently in the market are still loaded with Android 4

You will have better sucess with the fire tablet paired with a generic bluetooth keyboard

10" with 32GB ROM and under $100 ?

I honestly don't care about the keyboard as my kids are not using it. I think most people buying this are not planning to use for professional purpose

1 GB of ram warning, guys.

It's saving grace for my mom though is that it can be charged from either micro usb, or a proprietary dc-5v adapter. When she messed up the microusb port by trying to push in the cable upside down, she still had the power adapter to fall back on, fortunately. I managed to get another power adapter off eBay for her for $2 or $3 just in case she loses the other one or it stops working. Otherwise she uses it daily without issue. It's old OS but can still play her little games, FB messenger, YouTube and Netflix so it's all good.

Yes, I like dual charging plugs

People raised the same concern when I posted this tablet back in December Black Friday sale. So far, I haven't seen my kids run into memory issue even they tend to leave tons of apps on at the same time, you know kids, they would keep switching different games every 5-10 mins

Also, I believe most of <$200 tablets are all 1 GB RAM.

Like I always tell my friends, we just need to know what we are buying the things for what purpose. We can't buy a small compact car to save gas, and at the same time complaining it doesn't have large enough storage room like a van

Price is attractive but 1 GB RAM is way too low in 2018. I will have to pass.

My kids were using it fine in 2017, I don't see they will all the sudden need more RAM in 2018

Remember we are buying this for small kids and/or general internet browsing purpose, not for work related/professional use or playing online games

For $100, I don't mind if I need to buy a new updated one every 2-3 years Thus, I don't care much if the Android version is upgradable

1G Ram, Android 5.0. I will pass.

Can it fortnite

I have the 12.2 inch version. First, let me tell you... (rant)

I expected Android to be better optimized for budget machines by now. A tablet like this one could be on standby and still run noticeably slow on the home screen. Don't get me wrong though, I understand this tablet isn't going to run fast so I'm not blaming the hardware. I'm just not impressed with android.

Tip: disable "auto-update apps" as soon as you get it. The tablet would basically be unusable when anything is updating in the background.

I also had a problem with Zedge where it would be stuck "optimizing 1 of 1 apps" every time I reboot, so I can't even use a simple app like that one for some reason. That being said, once you've got your basic app (provided it's not Zedge) loaded up, the tablet runs it pretty smoothly. Just don't expect to be side-tabbing back and forth between apps.

A Samsung 10" with double the RAM but half the ROM. Price tag is 4 times though .........

(Shrug) I find 1 GB Android phones to be basically unusably slow in 2018. YMMV. And I'm not a gamer, I'm just talking about Facebook, talk, text, email, basic day to day stuff.

2 GB should be a minimum even for a budget tablet like this.

That could be the issue. FB app is a hog.
