    Does anyone have any ideas for a tablet. Basic streaming and watching movies. Maybe some games. I've had the Amazon fire before but would like something better performance wise. Also had a Samsung Galaxy tablet but that was an older version with 1gb ram so the performance was slow.

    Was looking at this

    Original Xiaomi Mipad Mi Pad 3 7.9'' Tablet PC MIUI 8 4GB RAM 64GB ROM MediaTek MT8176 Hexa Core 2.1GHz 6600mAh 2048*1536 13MP

    (from AliExpress Android)

    Or maybe this

    2017 newest 10.1 inch tablet pc Android 6.0 RAM 4GB ROM 32/64GB Dual SIM Bluetooth GPS 1920*1200 IPS tablets pcs free shipping

    I like the idea of a similar card slot for on the go or would this even work well in Ireland. Anyway 3/4gb ram would be ideal and nothing too much more than €250

    I do not know about the 2nd tablet, but the Mipad that you linked to is currently on sale for €173 on Banggood, but they are restocking. When they come back in, the code should be 116fec to get the price down. Normal price is realistically around €180 - €195 depending on where the 'sale' is. The link you posted seems quite expensive.

    On the cheaper end of the scale, the ifive mini 4S gets good ratings too. I have no experience with it, but many users seem very happy with it.

    The Onda 10 Pro also gets decent enough reviews, but as it is a similar price to the MiPad, i would probably go for the MiPad. The Onda does drop in price also, to around €150

    Edited.
    just noticed that some pages on Aliexpress are not loading properly and i keep getting asked to sign in. Also some prices are crazy high.

    3 weeks until Black Friday, i am guessing that some stores have already started raising their prices on some products. That MiPad was never €269 on Banggood.

    Seen that it was alot higher than you said it should be. I'd ideally like a bigger screen maybe 10". Like the look of the onga but always had my eye on the mipad

    Ignore that price. It has just gone up while they are restocking so that the sale looks better when it is back in stock.

    It definitely sells for less than €200. Whether or not it will before Black Friday i am not sure.
    I am guessing that it might. i.e. I am leaning towards one more sale before they stick the higher prices on everything before Black Friday.
    But no way of knowing.

    The Onda is still on sale.
    4GB 32GB version - https://www.banggood.com/Onda-V10-Pro-32GB-MTK-8173-Quad-Core-10_1-Inch-Dual-OS-Tablet-p-1133787.html
    is €118.38 with code b99594

    4GB 64GB version - https://www.banggood.com/Onda-V10-Pro-64GB-MTK-8173-Quad-Core-10_1-Inch-Dual-OS-Tablet-p-1136977.html
    is €151.82 with code 1146a8

    Customs might hit you also for 21% + An Post for €10.

    The Mi Pad 3 code still works (apparently) but do not know when they will have restocked. You can hit the 'Arrival Notice' to be notified when stock is back.
