I don't really understand your despair. I am NOT an Apple fan but when it comes to a choice between iOS or Android (and the associated hardware) I choose iOS devices. I often get infuriated about the things you can't do or the things it forces you to do Apple's way but in the end it just works. It does what it does very well and it's very reliable. Your youngest will know how to use it and won't need any IT support because she will simply take for granted its way of working and the things it won't do. She won't expect to be able to dive into a file explorer and delete important stuff or accidentally move it to the wrong place. She won't complain about not being able to do lots of things you wouldn't want her to do anyway.
If you can afford the price just get one. Life will be much easier than if you bought one of the many crappy alternatives.

Here is the technical comparison at Apple.
I would recommand in your case the small iPad mini 4 with 128 MB (32 MB is to small for media), but think you should ask your junior which size he really wants.
Tip: and buy with AppleCare

Get her to compare the brightness and sharpness between an ipad and a samsung tablet. The samsung is (or was) much better.

I need to perform a data export using the web interface from our local school printer ( to monitor how many copies are done by which account on a daily basis ). This thing ( it's a big Konica printer) has no Web API, and no for-a-school-affordable SW solution that would do the monitoring, which leaves me with two options:
- Remote-connect to the school server everyday, connect to the printer using a browser via the web-interface (there is a web portal when you connect to the printer using its IP address), navigate to the export page and export the data.
- Automate this to some extent.
Is there any way to "emulate" the navigating on the web page and make the export ? I see no other option here, and I presume that there must be some way to simulate a navigation on a website (how do you guys who do web development make use-cases tests ?).
I'll be happy to open that in Q&A if it turns too programmingquestionly, just wanted to have some general opnions about the direction to take.
OK, nevermind everybody, here you go[^].

It IS a programming question, but I do not care much...
What involved in the exporting procedure? Choice? Click of a button?
(what is the exact model of the printer?)

Where I am now exporting involves pallets and/or in sea containers, forklifts, trucks, shrink wrap, cartons, tape ... and lots of documentation.
would also like your suggestions how to make this into a button click.
It's really hard work,

This could produce some non-Lounge/techy discussion of possible solutions, etc. I would put this in Q&A.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
