I have had tablets in the past and I still have one at the moment. I thought the tablet that I still have now was completely dead and no longer a working tablet but my daughter found it in storage and tried charging it and found that it still works despite the screen being cracked a little. 

Now I still have access to a tablet if I need to but being it is now around 6 years old, it is quite old and a lot of stuff now doesn't tend to work on the device or it can be quite slow.
