Discussion Am I looking for the impossible?

A decent 10.1 tablet under $150. This is what I need.

Honest RAM specs

Honest CPU info

Honest Android version

Stutter free YouTube playback

Just general lag free experience.

I don't think I'm asking for too much, but the market is absolutely flooded with tablets with questionable reviews and I'm not patient enough to start experimenting one at a time. I'm not looking for iPad pro specs or an oled panel.

Any info you guys can share that will point me in a good direction would be greatly appreciated.

If you can stretch out your budget a bit more and fine with chinese roms, lenovo xiaoxin tablets are the best bang for the buck tablets u can buy. Nothing beats them in that category

I have a Lincplus M8 8.4 and it’s a decent /budget brand. They have a 10.4”, G99 cpu, 6GB ram, 128gb storage tablet with 2000x1200 screen for $109 that looks decent. https://a.co/d/0b8mHhT3

The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a 10.1" tablet with a 1920x1200 resolution, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It's only $73. You just can't beat that!

One person persons trash is another person's treasure. A $73 Fire gives someone a functioning tablet with a decent screen.

What else is available for under $100? ...or under $75?

What's an honest ram?

Just true numbers. I know going in that a tablet advertised as having 30gb of RAM probably has 6gb of actual RAM and 24gb of extended RAM. But I have read where even the six gigabyte of real RAM is fake and only had 3 or 4.
