Anyone have an inexpensive tablet computer that they are pleased with?
$150? I'd like one mostly for Google searching and email. Not likely

Suggestions?

My wife has an Amazon Fire that seems adequate.

For about the same money you can get an Acer Aspire 10" or 11" and have
a real keyboard instead of a tablet. Or you can get an Acer Switch that
allows you to take the keyboard off.

80% of my home computing is with the Acer 11" that sits on my belly
while I sit in the recliner. Right now I'm typing this and casting some
YouTube music videos to the TV. Works well for me, but your needs may
be different. I prefer to type on a keyboard rather than a tablet.

A bluetooth keyboard solves that problem

Would a Bluetooth keyboard drain the battery faster? Curious.
marginally. Very marginally. The keyboard has it's own battery and
does the transmitting. The bluetooth reciever is generally on whether
you connect to it or not. (can be turned off, but usually defaults
ON.)
