Best tablets under $200 right now, A few of the best tablets can cost over $1,000, if you include high-end accessories like a keyboards and stylus. But not everyone wants or needs all of that.
According To...Here are some of the best tablets that currently cost around $200. Some models on this list have seen price reductions in anticipation of their replacements, offering a bargain to those looking for tablets with solid performance. Others are just good old-fashioned budget tablets for casual use.
Acer Iconia One 10
If you need a decent tablet on the cheap with a big screen for watching video, the Acer Iconia One 10 is about as cheap as they get. Its big 10-inch screen is fine for watching video on the go, but far from the sharpest in town. However, for its low price -- right now you can find one for $135 -- you won't find anything better.
Amazon Fire HD 8
Sure, you can buy the Amazon Fire for $50, but if you're not that cheap and want something better, upgrade to the $90 Amazon Fire HD 8. It's got a sharper screen, faster performance, a bigger battery and more base storage, for only $40 more.
Asus ZenPad S 8.0
A cheap tablet rarely looks as good as the ZenPad S 8.0. Its affordable starting price of $200 is a deal for anyone who wants a small tablet that looks and performs like a winner. It's got a color brilliant screen, user-friendly Android overlay and, did I mention it looks really good for a cheap tablet?
Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70
Be honest: Do you just want a tablet for binge-watching your latest Netflix obsession? If you do, an inexpensive option is the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70. It has a sharp HD screen, microSD card expansion slot and loud speakers -- for when you definitely don't want to wear your headphones. Though its retail price is $200, it periodically goes on sale for less.
Amazon Fire
Are you being as cheap as possible? The Amazon Fire should be on the top of your list. It's a barebones model that only costs $50. Performance-wise, it's fine -- though a little slow -- and its screen is pixelated for today's standards, but it'll do for light reading. There's also a kid's version that comes with a case and unlimited replacement guarantee for two years. Believe be, it's better than other $50 options available.
Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (8-inch)
The Yoga Tab 3 has a distinct design with built-in kickstand for hands-free use and a rounded spine for comfortably holding it in one hand. Combined with its razor-sharp screen, rotatable camera, booming speakers and long-lasting battery, it makes for one of my favorite small tablets.
Lenovo Miix 320
Technically, you can't buy the Lenovo Miix 320 because it hits stores in April, but if you want a cheap Windows 10 tablet, you might want to wait for it. Its performance is comparable to a low-end Chromebook. Starting at $200, it includes a detachable keyboard and touchpad for more of a laptop experience.
If you can spend a little more...
Amazon Fire HD 10
Yes, I know; this is the third Amazon tablet on this list. What can I say? Amazon knows how to price 'em. The biggest of the bunch, the Amazon Fire HD 10, is one of the most affordable 10-inch tablets you can get, aside from, you know, the others on this list. The normal price is $230, but you can occasionally find it on sale for less.
Apple iPad Mini 2
If you want an iPad for cheap, you better jump on the Apple iPad Mini 2 quick. Apple just discontinued it, but you you can find a refurbished one online for $250. Your next best bet is the newest iPad ($300) or finding a deal on the also discontinued Apple iPad Air 2.
