We still have a long year ahead of us and I'm sure we still have to know some of those that will end up being the best tablets of 2017, but for all those who cannot or want to wait to see what the future holds, we are going to do a review of the most interesting options right now that we have in stores, thinking above all about getting a good value for money. Of course, if we don't have a budget limit, we can go straight for a Galaxy Tab S3 or iPad Pro, but if we have to look a little more at what we spend, we have great tablets in all price ranges which is worth keeping in mind.
Fire 7: 60 euros
Let's start with the most affordable option of all: if we are looking for a tablet as cheap as possible, for a child or for someone who is going to use it to navigate, read and not much else, but with a certain confidence, the most obvious option is the Four 7. Her CARACTERISTICS are certainly modest (resolution 1024 x 600, processor a 1,3 GHz, 1 GB RAM memory 8 GB storage), but for 60 euros we will not find anything better and what we get reaching 100 euros is not going to be much different.
Fire 8: 110 euros
In fact, if we can spend a little more and if we want to enjoy a slightly larger screen, we are going to recommend that you continue to trust the Fire range, as long as we do not have major problems with the operating system of the devices of Amazon, which is probably not the case for an occasional user looking for a cheap tablet. The price difference with the other model not only gives us an 8-inch screen, but also a resolution 1280 x 800, 1.5 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.
Mi Pad 2: around 150 euros
If reaching about 150 euros is not a problem and we do not mind resorting to importing, then yes we we have to recommend that you consider the Mi Pad 2. It is true that we already have the Mi Pad 3 on the way, and what is going to leave us some interesting improvement, but the previous model is still fully valid and its prices are now better if possible. As always, there is quite a difference between what it can cost us from one distributor to another, but we will not find a tablet with better features (resolution 2048 x 1536, processor Intel, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage) for that price.
Galaxy Tab A 10.1: around 190 euros
Getting a good 10-inch tablet is now too cheaper than ever, and we don't even have to turn to brands that may not leave us very convinced, as evidenced by the fact that the best mid-range, especially considering its price, is right now the Galaxy Tab A 10.1. The truth is that it never ceases to amaze us that the tablet of Samsung can be easily found for less than 200 euros, with display 1920 x 1200, processor Exynos, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage.
Miix 310: around 300 euros
At the MWC in Barcelona Lenovo He already introduced us to his successor and it is true that everything we heard from her sounded very good, but we do not know how long it may take to reach the stores yet, the reality is that this Miix 310 It is still a really good option if we want a Windows hybrid but we have a limited budget. There are several configurations available, but the one that seems most interesting to us is the one that comes with a processor Intel Atom, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. The only sacrifice we have to accept is resolution, which remains in 1280 x 800.
Yoga Tab 3 Plus: around 320 euros
In the Android field, however, for 300 euros we can already find tablets of quite a level, and a good proof of this is this Yoga Tab 3 Plus, which has dropped in price very quickly and that, it is true that it has a peculiar design, but that after all it offers us a screen with resolution 2560 x 1600, four JBL front speakers, processor Snapdragon 625, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, not to mention that its battery is one of the highest capacity in a tablet of its size.
MediaPad M3: around 330 euros
Another option to get hold of a tablet with the best technical specifications (resolution 2560 x 1600, Harman Kardon speakers, processor Kirin 950, 4 GB RAM memory 32 GB of storage capacity) for a still very reasonable price, is to bet on the MediaPad M3, sacrificing something in the size of the screen, although not too much because it is one of the largest compact tablets, reaching 8.4 inches. And while it is true that at some point we may miss that inch and a half that separates it from the iPad or the Galaxy Tab S3, being lighter and more compact has its own advantages.
MediaPad M2 10: around 340 euros
Although it is not a very recent tablet and its price has not dropped too much since its launch, the 10-inch tablet of Huawei keep offering a fantastic price / quality ratio , which says a lot about her. And it is that, except that we have to "settle" with resolution 1920 x 1200 y 2 GB of RAM, the only two details that bring it closer to the mid-range, there is a lot in it high-end, such as the four Harman Kardon stereo speakers, the metal casing, the fingerprint reader and the 13 MP camera. All this with one of the best autonomies that we have seen in a tablet.
iPad 9.7: €400
Maybe the new tablet of The apple company has disappointed those who are awaiting the arrival of the iPad Pro 2 and of course we cannot say that it is the best iPad, but at least we must admit that it is best new iPad that we can have for 400 euros, because it is true that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has had to make a lot of concessions to lower the price so much, but still a high-quality tablet. It is true that we are quite critical of the removal of the laminate on the screen, but otherwise, the image quality is good, the fluidity is spectacular, the autonomy is outstanding and the finishes are impeccable.
iPad Pro 12.9 refurbished: 760 euros
Whenever we talk about tablets with a good quality / price ratio, we end up including a mention of the Refurbished iPads, and this occasion was not going to be less, although now we are going to specify and we are going to highlight the model of 12.9 inches of the iPad Pro, which is where we are going to enjoy greater savings, reaching almost nothing less than 150 euros, which brings its price quite close to that of the 9.7-inch model, something very interesting if we think that this other not only has a screen bigger and with more resolution, but also more power.
Surface Pro 4: 900 euros
To be honest, the really good time to get hold of the Surface Pro 4 we had it a few weeks ago, when Microsoft He offered us on two occasions, quite in a row, discounts of up to 200 euros for his tablets. In spite of everything, it is worth bearing in mind that it is still possible to get hold of what remains the benchmark Windows professional tablet with a slightly lower price, thanks to the fact that a model that does not include the stylus has been put on sale for 100 euros less. We will remain attentive, in any case, to inform you if a new promotion arises.
