Affordable tablet question

    Hey guys, I'm not familiar at all with tablets but looking to buy my first one.
    It'll be used mainly for movies, internet, workout apps.... But it would be great if it was a suitable laptop replacement, for MS office type work.

    Budget is tight, and I'm not looking to buy straight away, so I'm OK with saving up for a few weeks. but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of any suitable models. I know cheap and good don't necessarily mix.

    Thanks for any help.

    The tech has come on so much that a 120 quid Samsung tab 4 will tick all your box's

    What type of android 'system' is that? Yes, I can see you shaking your head at that question, sorry!

    I ask because I'm looking to use an app that requires 4.4 or higher, I'd preferably like higher in case they update the f£ckin requirements on me
