LG GPad 10.1" Version 1 vs Lenovo Yoga Book (~faulty)

Well I started skimming tablets, just to see if I could find something perhaps dirt cheap on Craigslist. One thing led to another, and I started researching a few different models. Right now I just have a 2012 Nexus 7, which was a hand-me-down that is getting a bit long in the tooth, it can barely sustain videos & browsing.

So I've stumbled across a "barely used" LG GPad for $50 locally. I like the 10" screen, and the battery life is one of the big points for me. I also stumbled across some damaged Lenovo Yoga Books, that work aside from the keyboard being cracked. Supposedly the mouse works still too, and they're going for $170

So it's a big price jump, I wanted to stay <$100, but the stats for the Yoga Book do seem like they'd outpace the GPad. Double the processor, 4x internal storage *and* RAM, and higher resolution.

I will still be mostly using it for video & browsing, plus some mobile gaming like Ticket to Ride and I kinda want to get a controller for some emulating.

Before finding the Yogabooks, I've been leaning towards the GPad, which I could use for a bit and patiently wait to stumble upon an upgrade deal. Then I should be able to unload the GPad for what I got it, if not more.

I don't know, just bouncing ideas around my head I guess.
