Tablets for less than 100 euros: 5 good options

Although if we are willing to make a significant investment, we have great tablets to choose from, the truth is that not everyone can afford it and, almost more important, not everyone really needs such a high-level device, when your main use for it is browsing or playing relatively simple games. The good news is that if this is your case, the offer of cheaper tablets has improved a lot in recent times, so that you can get solvent equipment by prices lower than 100 euros.

Advances in the tablet industry are not only limited to the dramatic improvements in technical specifications that occur in the high-end, but also in the basic range There has been an important improvement in recent months, perhaps not thanks to such a significant evolution in hardware, but at increasingly affordable prices for devices perfectly capable of offering a satisfactory experience to a user who is not too intensive. So much so that we can already buy tablets for less than 100 euros even by some of the big manufacturers. We give you the links to the distributors where we have located them for lower prices, although you can find them in many others in most cases and the price will vary to different degrees.

Amazon Fire HD 6: $99 

Our first recommendation is the Fire HD 6, particularly if you don't mind that the screen is only 6 inches, something that can even be convenient if you plan to take it with you everywhere, since its measurements are also lower than usual (16,9 x 10,3 cm). Despite its size, the screen is sufficient, with resolution HD, and its audio system is pretty good too (Dolby Digital Plus). The cameras are not particularly flashy (2 MP for the main one), but enough for video calls and for an emergency photo. Its great attraction is having an operating system with a really simple interface, very suitable for users less familiar with Android, and very light, which gives the tablet a fluency that no other device in its range surpasses. The cheapest model offers only 8 GB of storage capacity, but if you are willing to pay a little more, you can also get it with 16 GB.

Acer Iconia One 7: $89 

Acer is one of the companies that has devoted the most to low-cost tablets and Iconia One 7 It is the best example of the quality / price ratio that they have managed to achieve. In this case we have a conventional 7-inch screen, but also with HD resolution, and although its size is somewhat larger, it must be said in its favor that it is relatively thin (8,9 mm). Count with one Intel Atom processor 1,6 GHz dual-core and, although the truth is that it lags behind the Fire HD 6 in terms of fluidity, it has a couple of interesting advantages: the first is having a more powerful main camera (5 MP), something that you may value if you think you are going to use it a lot; The second, more important, is that its storage capacity is only 8 GB, in this case you have the option of expanding the memory externally through a card micro-SD.

Lenovo Idea Tab A7-40: $75

Lenovo is another of the companies that has entered the field of low-cost tablets with a firm step, especially thanks to a few new models of the Ideatab presented last year and among which is this Idea Tab A7-40, the cheapest on our list and still with some very interesting technical specifications: its 7-inch screen has HD resolution, mount a processor Mediatek, but of quad core, it also has 1 GB RAM memory and its 8 GB of storage capacity are equally expandable via micro-SD. The only section in which it is more clearly behind the Iconia One 7 It is the camera, since his is 2 MP, so there is more to the assessment that you each make of how much use you are going to make of the tablet to take pictures.

Asus Memo Pad 7: $99 

Some time ago Asus updated your tablet Memo Pad 7 to give it a screen with HD resolution, but if you do not give too much importance to this aspect (and the truth is that many probably will not notice the difference too much), the model with 1024 x 600 resolution You can get it now for a much lower price (the HD model can be bought for around 130 euros, in case you think the price difference is worth it). The good thing is that in other sections it is still a tablet with good features and has, for example, a processor Intel Atom and, like the others, with 1 GB RAM memory to accompany you. The main camera is 2 MP and its storage capacity is also 8 GB, but it also has a card slot micro-SD, so it shouldn't be a problem.

HP 7Plus: $99 

HP, another of the names that cannot be absent when we talk about low-cost tablets in recent times, also has a model especially aimed at competing in this range: the HP 7 Plus, which started at 109 euros, but can now be obtained for even less. The main disadvantage it has with respect to the former is that, like the Memo Pad 7, we have to settle for a resolution of 1024 x 600. If this does not concern us too much, otherwise the tablet does not have much to envy the others. For example, as with the Ideatab, we do not have an Intel processor but Allwinner, but that in exchange is quad core, and is also accompanied by 1 GB RAM memory. The main camera is also 2 MP and the storage capacity of 8 GB expandable via micro-SD.
