Walmart's $70 2-in-1 Tablet Bundle Offers Value in Competitive Budget Device Market

Walmart and Amazon are competing for budget-conscious consumers with 2-in-1 tablets priced between $60 and $94, bundled with accessories that remove the hidden costs that have long kept entry-level technology just out of reach. This is less a story about gadgets than about the ongoing negotiation between commerce and access — the question of which tools society considers basic enough to make affordable.
