8 Budget-Friendly Tablets for School, Work, and Entertainment

Tablets are a must in 2020. They’re great for long trips, lounging in bed, and well, your kids might need them for virtual school this year. Hey, maybe your parents would feel more comfortable using an easy-to-work tablet rather than figuring out the latest iPhone. Either way, they’re going to come in handy for Zoom meetings and entertainment this year.

As someone who is an avid Amazon user, I have to go with the Amazon Fire tablet. If you’re looking for a tablet for entertainment, this is your top-pick as well. Enjoy all of your favorite Amazon Original TV shows, movies, music, books, and more.

If you use Alexa often, then you’re going to want to stick to an Amazon system. Also, if you’re an e-reader or Kindle user, I’d consider this tablet because Amazon Books is fantastic! Many books are free.

You can use it for strictly on Wi-Fi, or get the cellular bundle to also use it on the go.
