Hey, I'm sure this has been asked and answered before but I was wondering if anyone could advise me on a tablet suiting my needs. I will be going to study Veterinary Medicine at university in September 2021, and am currently on a gap year so I will not be buying this tablet for a few months but thinking ahead.
I don't really want to spend a fortune so iPads are out of question, maybe £200 max but would really prefer lower (furlough pay is a pain when you aren't contracted many hours). I have a decent laptop and will also be buying a new phone so this tablet isn't the main thing I'd be using for work or entertainment etc, but in Sixth Form I quite liked having a lightweight tablet I could carry around in my school bag so I could access some of my textbooks online rather than heaving them around, and it would take up less space etc and be less hassle than taking my laptop everywhere but more useful than my phone.
My old tablet (unfortunately had an accident with spilling tea on it so no longer alive) was a Lenovo and had Microsoft Office stuff prebuilt onto it for free, which would be ideal - I only need basic version of word really. It had very good battery life, I only needed to charge it like once a week, though this isn't a must. Ideally I want to be able to have some non-school apps on it, e.g. some socials, basic games (just like phone-like apps since I don't like overloading my phone with it), be able to play videos on it, but camera quality etc isn't a necessity at all since I won't be using it for that.
So mainly just needs to be cheapish, lightweight, durable and ideally have word etc on it so I can do some basic work/notes on it.
Any suggestions? TIA
