Just buy one of the iPad airs and be done with it, especially if she already has an iPhone.

Does she have a computer at all? Then she can just download the Kindle app for free.

And I agree with everyone else that she has carpal tunnel syndrome from all the swiping right she does on Tinder.

She has a really good job. It's kind of a present, not a gimme. She's been looking at them for a few months now. I was going to get her one for christmas but SHTF with work and I wasn't able to find a good deal on the one she wanted. She's not a very needy woman. She does her own thing and buys a lot of stuff on her own. I was just trying to be nice and get her something like this. It's weird, she's not all gimme gimme gimme when it comes to expensive shite like purses, jewelry, etc. She'd rather buy hunting/shooting gear etc. That's kind of why I don't feel as bad buying this for her
Well if it's just something you want to do. There aren't many things that you can do on an iPad that you can't do on a kindle, but they have a different feel.

I don't know about 4x the price different, though.

$400 things



Solution, buy her 8 of the Amazon Fire Tablets.


Seriously though, the $50 Amazon tablet is a great answer if she just wants something to browse the internets and read some books.

I can get a kindle paperwhite for $110 and I think the cheapest iPad is around $300.


ETA we didn't really buy each other anything crazy for Christmas. Probably taking a nice trip over the summer.

Is there a cheaper alternative to these $400 things?


You seem like the poster on here who started the thread about his wife wanting a Coach purse but him wanting to buy her a cheaper brand "that's just like Coach" instead.

If the LLsotOT show up here, you will be roundly crucified just the same.

Dude, get an iPad mini 2. You my be able to find them on sale for cheap now. The only difference between the 2 and 3 is the Touch ID.

Yeah no. Coach is shite. She did buy herself a LV a few months ago, which surprised me.

Opinions in the Kindle v. iPad argument?



There are plenty of tablets from the dirt-cheap Kindle to a top-end Surface Pro 4 that will do the job, but she's a woman, so just get the iPad. It has little to do with value, or practicality. Even with as much tech knowledge as I have, I would still get my wife an iPad if that's what she wanted. I would openly mock her for it, sure, but as long as she had what she wanted.

How long have you been dating? How long have you been banging? Does she still give blow jobs? Does she let you PIIHB?

Please provide these answers under a posted pic and I'll tell you if you should buy her an iPad or a checker board and a paperback.

What kind of cell phone does she have? I have Samsung tablet I love, but I prefer android. So if she likes the apple software she may not the Kindle.

honestly, you would be better off buying nothing than you would buying something other than what she wants...do yourself a favor and drop $400 on the ipad and be done with it.

Get her an iPad. iPads slogan is read and play on me. It's gonna be easier to use and she will just like it better. Especially if she has iPhone. Can text from it

This.

Her friends and coworkers have iPads, so she doesn't want anything else. It really is as simple as that.

What if she got you a Taurus instead of that Sig you wanted? Does the same thing, right?
