Android tablets are generally good for "consuming content" like reading / watching videos, however, they are not really good at creating content / doing homework.

$300 is rather low for anything larger than a 7" or 8" tablet unless you are considering used / refurbished tablets.


The recent release of Intel's Bay Trail generation Atom processor has also meant the release of new 8" Windows 8.1 tablets for $300 or less due to holiday sales. One seemingly popular Windows 8 tablet is the Dell Venue 8 Pro. This the full version of Windows 8, not a cut down version of like Windows RT.

At it's core, these Windows 8 tablets are like mini portable entry level computers. They can be connected to keyboards / mice / monitors but you need to buy additional equipment to do so. Also it comes with a digitizer, which means with a Dell digital pen (extra $40 - $50) you draw / paint / write notes.

Dell Venue 8 Pro @ Amazon for $267

While I definitely agree with jaguarskx, the Windows 8 tablets are great as long as they run full Windows 8 and not Windows RT. If you do want an Android tablet, it depends on budget and screen size.

Between $200 - $250:

- Asus Google Nexus 7: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231150

Between $250 - $350:
