Amazon and B&H have it for $130
It's tough for Android tablets to compete in the market, especially with Apple's iPad single-handedly dominating the space. But for casual users looking for a cheap and portable "Netflix machine" to stream from the comfort of their couch, nothing fits the bill better than Samsung's Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. It's a great bang-for-buck tablet that could easily outpace its Amazon Fire competition, and today, you can pick one up for $130 on Amazon and B&H — normally priced at $160.The Samsung Tab A7 Lite is no iPad, equipped with decidedly middle-of-the-road specifications. Its 8.7-inch TFT LCD screen with 1340 x 800 (WXGA+) resolution is nothing to write home about, but its slim and sturdy metal frame should provide decent protection to the tablet. It's got a quad-core MediaTek Helio P22T processor, 3GB of RAM (configurable to 4GB), and 32GB of eMMC flash storage. There's a single USB Type-C port (capable of 15W charging) and a microSD card slot on the side if you need more storage, too. The A7 Lite runs Android 11 using the company's One UI 3.1, and its 5,100mAh battery is ample enough to get you through an entire day.

It's not hard to find an Android tablet for less than a hundred bucks - head down to your nearest drugstore and there's a decent chance you'll see one. The trick is finding one that's worth using at that price. While most of these ultra-cheap tablets are no-name Chinese models, Lenovo just announced a pair of new 7-inchers in the A Series starting at only a single Benjamin. I guess that would make them name brand Chinese tablets, but hey, Lenovo beats whatever company is using the Polaroid license this year.
When it comes to Tegra 2-powered Android tablets, the Notion Ink Adam, the Viewsonic G, and Motorola's upcoming Honeycomb tablet are all the rage, but a small company called Stream TV would like to remind you that it's got a dual-core tablet of its own. Indeed, Stream TV is now shipping its eLocity A7 tablet, complete with a 7-inch display, Android 2.2 Froyo, and of course, the aforementioned nVidia Tegra 2 processor. For now, the company is only shipping it to those who pre-ordered it back in September, though Walmart, NewEgg, BJs, and Tiger Direct should be carrying the device for about $399 shortly, while Amazon will soon be touting it for just $369. Not a bad deal, I must admit.
