Are Cheap Tablets Good?

They sure are! The best cheap tablets have high-quality screen resolution, max storage and power to get things done with ease.

“Entry-level tablets have up to 32GB of storage, easy-to-use IOS and Android systems, plus speedy processors, which makes them a quality budget buy,” says Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Tech.

“Whether you’re looking for something the kids can use at school or you’re introducing tech to your preschooler, there’s a tablet with the features you need at the price you want.”

Choose models with up to 11 inches of screen size for easy e-book reading, or a more compact 8-inch tablet that little hands can commandeer for entertainment on the go.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Android Tablets?

Brands such as Lenovo and Samsung have affordable Androids covered, and they’re packed with features for work and play.

“Android tablets are generally cheaper and offer your favourite apps with an easy-to-use interface that’s great for kids. They’re perfect as a child’s video and game entertainment hub that won’t blow your budget,” Jason says.  

Look to Lenovo for speedy processing in a lightweight and affordable tablet. Browse the web, stream videos and download apps to your heart’s content on a nifty 10-inch screen.

For multitasking made easy, Samsung’s entry-level tablet has 4GB of RAM. It’s one of the best cheap tablets for games, and has the power to let you switch between emails and Instagram while downloading a movie for later. There’s up to 64GB of storage for all that content, plus a memory card slot that lets you go beyond the built-in storage.

What Are The Best Budget iPads?

When it comes to tablets, Apple is renowned for its iPads – and they’re more affordable than you think. Cheap iPads offer basic processing that’ll still smash through your everyday web browsing, streaming and more.

For a compact and affordable version of the high-end models, an iPad mini has a handy 8.3-inch display – it literally fits in the palm of your hand!

“The iPad mini is exactly as it sounds – a powerful, pocked-sized iPad with a lot of the same functionality as larger iPads. It’s got a super-sharp display, snappy and responsive performance and long-lasting battery life,” says Jason Tavoletti.

Standard-sized iPads offer a 10.2-inch (9th Gen) or 10.9-inch (10th Gen) display that’s all for displaying projects, painting, drawing and seeing things on the big screen. An A13 Bionic chip delivers fast graphics and processing performance, while 10 hours of battery life keeps road-trip movie marathons going strong.
