What to do with an old tablet?

I’ve got an old Lenovo Tab3 850M table, running Android 6.0.1

It’s pretty vanilla and I haven’t installed any custom ROMs or rooted the device. The battery is in pretty good condition and the table can idle for around a week I think.

It has an 8 inch IPS display, Quad-Core 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, ARM Mali-T720 MP2, 500 MHz, 4-Cores GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB internal storage. The cameras are pretty terrible (even for 2016 standards), and the battery is 4300mAh.

What useful things can I do with it?

Interesting use. Unfortunately I haven’t found any usage like that. Maybe a home automation system and an Arduino interface?
