If you're looking for a cheap tablet, you've come to the right place. Our pick of the best budget tablets includes Android, iOS and Windows models ranging between £70 and £200.

Flagship tablets like the iPad Air 2 and stylus-packing Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 are awesome, but too expensive for many consumers. Fortunately, budget tablets are constantly improving and retail stores are increasingly discounting more expensive devices, meaning that you no longer have to pay over £200 for something good.

However, just because a tablet is cheap doesn’t make it an automatic bargain. If you find something retailing for far less than its product description suggests it should, find out why. The £99.99 Argos MyTablet and £149.99 Aldi Medion Lifetab S10346 are classic examples of this, and scored 3/10 and 4/10, respectively. Be wary.

What size tablet is best for you?

Size is one of the most important factors to consider when it comes to buying a tablet. The bigger the tablet, the higher the fee is the general rule of thumb. There are three main size categories to pick from – 7-inch, 8-inch and 10-inch – though smaller and larger tablets do exist. However, there’s a little more to it than that.

Buy a 7-inch tablet if…

…you want something light and highly portable.

The main advantages of 7-inch tablets are price and practicality. They weigh and cost significantly less than larger tablets, but still deliver in terms of battery life, screen quality and performance. This makes them ideal for on-the-go use, whether that’s reading eBooks on the bus to work or taking holiday snaps halfway up a mountain. They’re also a family-friendly choice, since even small children can get to grips with them.

However, they’re not so great for watching movies or working on. This is because they usually feature weak speakers and are too small to type on comfortably for long periods of time.
