Is going to be bargain basement for under $200...

Or it will be used.


A decent 10 inch tablet runs minimum $300 these days. That is before a keyboard.

if you are looking for something for when the power goes out I would suggest heading to your cell phone provider and asking them what they offer in tablets that come with a mobile connection.

They may offer subsidized tablets the data connection will cost you though.

Anytime the power goes out your internet in your house is going to go as well as the modem and router used to connect to the internet run on the same electricity as the rest of the house.

You can solve that with a tablet with a mobile connection or by sharing your phones mobile connection with a tablet but both of those solutions require either a phone that can share its connection or a tablet that has a mobile connection internal as part of its hardware.

None of these things are cheap solutions for internet connectivity when the power is out.

For the best price on a decent tablet I would take a hard look at the Amazon tablets. They are solid Android tablet with an Amazon skin on them but are typically cheaper than similar hardware because Amazon can advertise to you on them. Probably the best bang for your buck you will find in the price range you are trying to hit.
