I first discovered them when I got a kindle fire. cheap tablet that had astounding hardware but was locked out of the google play market. amazon made them and sold them at cost because they were locked on to amazon marketplace, which is how they made $ on it. through xda I was able to change the o.s. to lollipop (i think..it's been about 4 years) making it a better tablet than anything even close to its price range. since then I've used them for all kinds of great info.

also, Android's are better because if the "screen" breaks, you can plug in an "otg" cable to use a mouse on your device. also adb if its turned on will allow you to use a pc to retrieve any info off most "bricked" or broken devices. that being said...if its worth saving digitally, then for F's sake, save it in more than one place! i have to go pick up a ssd reader to get all the data off my daughters laptop that she didnt back up...(I'll never buy another asus, I got 2 of em with motherboards that fried right after warranty ran out...they make great doorstops...)
