I have been looking for a tablet for an older family member. But every deal thread for this model is full of complaints that it's slow. Costco has the 64GB version with book cover for $160. The Costco model has only 4GB of RAM. Would the 256GB version perform better with its 8GB of RAM?

iPad base model, go back one generation. That can't be beat for an entry level tablet for the price.

For an old person going to facebook they could probably use a kindle or whatever the cheapies are. 😅. The argument about the Samsung A series being garbage is that it's high end Samsung prices. If you need a Samsung; for $100 more you get a bunch more. 4gb ram is terrible for anything other than clock an web browser type stuff because the OS and all that will use most the 4gb in the background.I haven't rushed to get another android tablet cause they are all garbage below the samsung non a, series. I wasn't even mad when my last broke in a week cause it pissed me off so much browsing YouTube like I was on dial up pentium celeron computers. There isn't really much a market for tablets; so not much choice. It's pretty gimmicky and for people who can use them for work; or people who have to have everything sold on tv . Even some of the worst small laptops are usually far beyond these

Have had the 256GB version with 8GB RAM for over a year and a half and have never found it to be slow.

LincPlus T3 is 69$ used and 89$ new which is arguably much faster even with the similar processor due to the 8gb of ram. I got one a year ago and still working to this day. Only complaints are the VERY BUGGY ORIENTATION CONTROL but I solved that by installing orrientation control apps and no biometrics unlock.

I had the 4GB model and have the 8GB model. Using the A9+ with 8GB is a MUCH better experience.
