Well for most of us €30 (the cheapest I found here in france) for a tablet makes it a disposable device (this is different in developping countries).

There is a recycling tax here that is as low as ~5 cts for a tablet or a comparable electronic device. The burden of recycling is on the developping countries we send our used gear to. Not to mention the use of raw materials.

Can't say that this does not apply to higher end device that tend to be unrepairable but their lifespan is longer.
