While performing heavy tasks on this tablet may not be the best, you can still run a lot of helpful apps on it that can get you through a school day.  It can also handle casual gaming well, though there might be some lag in the more complex games

 

So there you have it, six devices that can help you through the school day.  As of the time this review was made, these are the best you can get.

 

Aside from budget, when making your choice between devices for school, take a closer look at the preloaded software.  If the device you want doesn’t have a certain software, you can also look for a similar app in the Play Store.

 

In the end, the choice of what device suits you better is up to you.  Make sure that what you choose fits your needs as well as your price range.
