Not arguing that RAC is a total ripoff, but the underlying logic that a tablet is not "worth" $1,500 is a bit flawed. Tablets, netbooks, laptops, and computers today all offer value (worth) far exceeding their value. My $500 iPad is way better than the $3000 worth of computer I was using 15 years ago, but they were both worth it. If all computers and tablets were double in price, people would still buy them (just not as many) because they certainly still offered value in excess of the cost.
But, in the above case, she'd be much better off just pocketing the $15.99 a week for a few months an paying cash for the same item (it'll probably be clearanced by then anyway).
