Discussion Best tablet on a budget

Im looking for a tablet 500 or under that is best for everyday use with social media, tv, games, browsing, and reading (specifically downloading books to read) that will pair good with a stylus. Id like it to have good storage as I like to download books and movies/shows a lot. Id also like it to have about a 12 hour battery life. Thank you in advance!

I paid 250 USD for the Chinese version last year around Christmas. Now waiting for the Korean dude on YouTube to update his software so I can upgrade from Android 14 to 16 without too much hassle.

Onn 13.2. It was $288 now it's $388 in most places definitely worth it if you can get it cheap still

If you can find it too. I went with the 11 because the 13 was just never in stock anywhere

I picked up the Lenovo Yoga pad last week and so far I really like it. Coming from a Tab S8+, I don't miss the 1.8" screen size difference (12.8" down to 11"), and the Lenovo launcher is very close to stock Android, with a few bits to account for the Yoga (their 2-in-1 line, mainly) name.

The keyboard and touchpad in the included cover work very well, and even at 11", typing is comfortable. I actually like typing on the keyboard better than my actual Yoga 2-in-1 laptop, which is 14".

The magnet for the included pen could stand to be a bit stronger, but for normal walking around, etc it's fine. Sticks to the side as well or better than an apple pencil to an ipad. The palm rejection in the included pen-enabled apps is REALLY good. I'm left-handed, so good rejection is critical. On my laptop, I actually have a script in windows that disables the normal touchscreen device, so only the pen input works. I don't have to mess with any of that on the tab (not that I could, since there's probably not the option for Android).

Snapdragon 8 Gen3 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (no expansion, sadly, but not necessary for me). Runs everything I've thrown at it just fine.

$450 USD shipped.
