Just came across this ebay deal. It is for a reburb unit. I browsed around a little bit and noticed there are not lollipop roms. Other than that I don't see any negatives for a tablet that would be ussed for some light browsing and streaming.

here is the link (sorry browsing from phone)

I just bought an SM-T217S and i love it. Super cheap and LTE capable. Internal specs wise is the behind the newer stuff but still capable when comparing it to other sub$100 tablets.

The cameras are terrible, its stuck on 4.4.2, and the 1024x600 resolution leaves something to be desired. Also the 7" model doesn't have OTG support.

Micro SD card support, an IR blaster, dual speakers, tons of accessories still on the market, and a NON-Intel processor made it an easy sub $100 tablet choice.

Just purchased a T Mobile version a couple weeks ago for $20 more. Not a bad use of funds and the this model did at least get KK. My only complaint was adjusting to the resolution of the screen in comparison to my Note 4. If you buy one and go with a 3rd party launcher, make sure you adjust the icon size down to the smallest allowed. Otherwise, everything will be pixelated.

What launcher are you using? I notice the resolution is a bit of a drag.
