Probably when the battery fails. So far for my light use I haven't noticed
 any problems (knocks on wood).

The Android version isn't a problem for me. I'm posting with an Amazon
 tablet that runs an Android fork at about version 9 and for my use it does
 just fine. I put the Google Play Store on it so run most of the same apps
 as my phone and other toys. It's actually one of my favorite tablets as
 it's light, comfortable to hold, has great resolution, and at the sale
 price of $75US was cheap...
