Top Tablets per Price Range

If budget is the single, most important factor in your tech shopping, the following will help you find the most bang for your buck in each price category. Along with each suggestion, you will find the approximative cost per month (based on the foreseeable longevity of the device), so you can easily see if spending a little more is worth the investment.

This list assumes that you are not planning on getting new accessories with your next purchase; you already have a protective case, battery pack and secondary charger. If that is not the case, click here to get a list sorted by the price of the device with all accessories included.
