there are great tablets and there are many many cheap tablets but there are only a few truly great cheap tablets vonabell and this top five I'm counting down CNET's picks for the best tablets price under 250 bucks starting off at number five the assist transformer pad TF 103 C retail prices $299 but we're seeing this as low as two hundred and forty nine it's an amazing deal especially when you consider that it comes with a keyboard dock making it more of an Android laptop hybrid it's a 10.1 inch screen on top of a 1.8 gigahertz quad-core Atom processor a gig of ram and a base of 16 gigs of storage along with a micro SD card slot for memory expansion it's not the prettiest thing or the fastest thing out there but if the hybrid concept appeals to you it's a steal at number 4 the LG G pad 10.1 this actually comes in a 7 8 and 10 inch version with the 10 ringing right up at $249 that 10 inch er is more or less like the transformer pad except you're trading that keyboard dock for a significant upgrade in style internally you're getting the same gig of ram 16 gigs of storage microSD expansion slot and a good enough processor LG throws in an IR blaster so that you can use the G pad like a giant TV remote which you never will coming in at number three the soos memo pad 8 a slim lightweight 8-inch Android tablet that can be snatched up for around 180 dollars it's a nice design and a more manageable form factor that's free this colorful and packs a decent pixel density making it a good choice for reading processor speed isn't great though so if you're looking for a gaming tablet keep moving and number two the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 starting at $229 the seven-inch tablet offers a beautiful screen with a sharp 1920 by 1200 resolution the processor has enough juice to keep up with your gaming addiction and the whole thing is tied into Amazon's media empire on the downside Google fans aren't getting the real Android treatment here Kindle owners live entirely Zhaan's world which brings us to seen its highest recommended tablet priced at or under $250 at number one the Google Nexus 7 Android fans can pick this up direct from Google for $229 and expect nothing less than the pure unadulterated Android treatment great processor performance beautiful HD screen 2 gigs of RAM and an impressive 11 and 1/2 hour battery life no storage expansion though so if you need more than 16 gigs we'll have to spend the extra $40 for the 32 gigabyte version so there you have it five tablets under $250 that we can actually stand behind for all the latest tablet reviews head over to cnet-dot-com-slash-loaded com I'm Donnell Bell thanks for watching
