It's not really a tablet, it has no screen. The screen is your 
monitor/TV connected via an HDMI port (obviously you looked at a 
different device than I did). It identifies as a tablet, so that's why I 
called it that.

A link would help:

The main reasons is that it cost $100 (US) for the unit, and it includes 
a quad core ARM chip. This will give you enough CPU power to run 
BitTorrent, watch TV shows, etc and not run up the electrical bill that 
a real computer would. If you download to a USB memory stick instead of 
a disk drive, it will be silent.

As for Android being old, the current divide is Android 4 (any version). 
Older versions than 4 won't run modern Apps.
