Subscription pricing
Hey everyone! rather than buying a $500 surface pro tablet to take PT's on, i've been searching for a cheaper, effective alternative. Preferably a tablet in the $100-$200 range that is compatible with google chrome (for 7sage of course) and meets the same screen specifications (10 Inches). If anyone has found a substitute or has any suggestions, please don't be shy!
thanks!

@pb3ncva668, when you use "8 Amazon fire, how does it go? Would you know which size of tablet LSAC lets us to use in the real LSAT test? I am thinking which tablet or iPad I should buy now. Thank you so much!
@mik021436, First, cool username. Second, I believe a previous comment said if you search for disc tip stylus, you'll see similar products.
Is there a way to buy the LSAC stylus to practice? Also I know we can bring our own pencils, but can we bring our own pen too?
@lucykelly459 assistant regional manager because you replied. 2 month probationary period. hehe C:
@mik021436 Yes, there is a pen on one side and the stylus on the other. Its a chubby pen and it is kinda loud. Rather than clicking the top, you twist it and the pen pops out.I found myself just using the pen portion of it. The tablets work fine without the stylus. When it comes to highlighting in RC the stylus is useful but you can get by without it.
(can I be the assistant regional manager or at least the assistant TO the regional manager?)
@lucykelly459 when you say it doubles as a pen and stylus, do you mean that there’s a pen on one side and a stylus on the other? Or is it like a typical pen that also works as a stylus? Thanks in advance for your reply!
We get a stylus that doubles as a pen and on-screen stylus. It is not the surface stylus. No, you do not get a keyboard. There is no way to annotate the text as you read unless you want to take notes in your scratch paper. The 7Sage digital test taker is just like the LSAC one.

Do you guys know if we're getting the pen and keyboard along with the tablet?
Yeah not sure where to ask this (and I’m sure this has been asked elsewhere) but is there no way to annotate the text as you read? Is the 7Sage digital test taker just like the LSAC one in that you can only highlight and underline?

Was just about to suggest the fire. They're cheap, but they work pretty well.
I would think any significant lag would have to do more with internet connection than the tablet itself. My daughter has a kid's version of the fire, and after two years of abuse, it runs things quickly and smoothly. The LSAT tester here isn't really data heavy nor is it complex software.
@pb3ncva668 awesome! thanks so much. In regards to functionality, relative to the surface pro (test conditions in july) do you experience any lags when taking PT's on the fire?
I actually purchased an 8" Amazon Fire for $40 a few weeks ago (Prime Day deal), but it's only $50 now. Having sat in July, if you adjust the type settings in-app or in-browser to smaller and closer together, you can roughly approximate the test-day dimensions.
That being said, the 10" lands in the $150ish range that you're looking for. I'm not really a fan of the Fire's overall speed or functionality relative to iPads, but either Fire size gets the job done if you're looking to save cash doing prep tests
