Tablets. You'll always have the high-end, the high asking prices, and the people who are willing to pay for them. But for many, just getting good hardware, a great experience, and not emptying your wallet is the most important set of factors in buying a new tablet. The Android tablet space has exploded in recent years and there are now some great choices to be made around the $200 price point and below. Here we've rounded up some of the best choices you can make. Amazon Fire HD 8

The Amazon Fire HD 8 has impressive specs and, starting at $79.99, a very attractive price point. It also features 12 hours of battery life, and a processor that's twice as fast as the previous generation and Dolby Audio. The 1280x800 pixel LCD display won't win any awards, but the 8-inch screen looks great at any angle — awesome for sharing the tablet with family. And all models of Amazon's Fire tablet now have support for the company's AI assistant, Alexa, allowing you to control your tablet, and your smarthome, with your voice. And as with Amazon's other tablets, you can offline Prime Video to an SD card, which is a frequent traveler's dream. If you'd like something cheaper, there's the $49 7-inch version of the Fire tablet, while larger screen fans can get the latest 10-inch model for $150. Both the HD 8 and HD 10 will soon be available with a dock that gives you Echo Show-like functionality. See at Amazon Lenovo Yoga Tablet 3 8-inch

Now in its third generation, Lenovo's Yoga tablet remains one of the most distinctive offerings around. The design is unusual but it also makes it one of the best tablets money can buy for consuming media since you don't need to invest in a case with a kickstand. You also get some great sounding front-facing speakers with excellent volume, so you can just pop it down, kick back and watch a movie wherever you are. The software experience won't suit everyone, but it's mostly inoffensive, and Lenovo adds a few useful apps and features instead of cramming it with bloat. But while the design is excellent in some regards, it does make it awkward to hold in landscape. You do get superb battery life though. That bulge is full of battery, which means you get more life from a Yoga than a lot of other Android tablets. And all for $135 when you get the 2GB RAM model, which you absolutely should.

Lenovo's second entry in our roundup, the Tab 4 is a regular slab-style tablet next to the unusual form factor of the Yoga Tablet 3. But while it's less to look at it, it has plenty of its own charm. It has an 8-inch 1280 x 800 resolution display, quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and Android 7.1 Nougat with Lenovo's newer, closer to stock user interface. Lenovo claims up to 20 hours of battery life during media consumption, and with Dolby Atmos support you're getting another stellar audio experience from a low-cost Lenovo tablet. At only $107 it's perfect for you or the kids, and Lenovo has an optional kids pack which includes a roughty toughty case to protect from the expected falls to the floor.
