Tablet PCs are becoming more and more popular every day. The huge demand for them, confirming the market laws, gives rise to a multitude of offers from a variety of manufacturers. Moreover, to the delight of the consumer, the price of this product is predictably decreasing. Now it's time to answer the question, which tablet is the cheapest today.
General market overview
Logic dictates that, first of all, the cheapest price should be looked at from Chinese manufacturers. And indeed it is. Today, the cheapest tablet available on the market is the Chinese iconBIT NetTAB SKY LE (NT-0704S). On average in Russia, this product costs from 2,300 to 2,600 rubles.
The model has no special bells and whistles. In fact, this is an ordinary tablet computer two years ago, the analogs of which were then sold for 15,000 rubles.
7-inch HD screen with a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels, dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor (clock speed 1.2 GHz). GPU FullHD 1080p decoder with ARM NEON. The tablet has a G-sensor and support for Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n networks (nothing is said about 3G support). The amount of RAM may seem very small to someone - only 512 MB and built-in flash memory - 4 GB (although with the help of microSD you can provide the tablet with another 32 GB).
Such characteristics mean that playing modern fancy toys on this tablet is unlikely to work (they will slow down noticeably), but this model is quite good for surfing the Internet, listening to music, watching videos, reading e-books and using office programs.
Also iconBIT NetTAB SKY LE has a few more amenities: 2 built-in cameras - the main one at 2 Mp and the front one at 0.3 Mp, the presence of a USB connector with OTG technology
OTG technology allows you to connect keyboards, mice, flash cards and other USB devices through an adapter.
OS Google Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean).
How much does the cheapest branded tablet cost?
If you doubt the quality of a Chinese manufacturer and want to buy a good branded tablet, then you can recommend the Amazon Kindle Fire. Currently, this tablet computer costs from 2,600 to 2,800 rubles - it is also quite inexpensive, even in comparison with its Chinese counterpart discussed above.
The cheapest way to buy Amazon Kindle Fire is from foreign marketplaces Amazon or Ebay.
Based on the price, it can be assumed that the Amazon Kindle Fire has a purpose similar to that of the Chinese. And so it is. The tablet computer is a purely working one. A 7-inch HD screen with the same 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, the same Texas Instruments OMAP 4 dual-core processor and the same 512 MB of RAM confirm this.
However, in addition, the Amazon Kindle Fire is closely integrated with various Amazon services (which may not be particularly relevant for Russians). The tablet supports multi-touch. The built-in memory is twice as large as 8 GB. Operating system - Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
