On sale is this budget tablet from Teclast that's decent for a tad over A$70. Obviously this is no Lenovo Xiaoxin but if you're wanting to do the very basics like watching YouTube, general browsing, basic gaming or even use as something like a Home Assistant dashboard this will do.
Features include Android 14 with Google Play, 8" 1280x800 IPS display, 4GB RAM (+6GB virtual RAM), 64GB storage (microSD support), Allwinner A523 octa-core CPU, ARM Mali-G57 GPU, 5000mAh battery with USB-C, 2MP rear + 0.5MP front cameras, dual speakers, 3.5mm audio, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2 and Widevine L1.
While this tablet does feature Widevine L1 DRM, Netflix HD may not work. I own this tablet myself and the downsides are that the screen brightness isn't the best, no GPS and it's not the fastest tablet out there. You get what you pay for!

AU$ based on current Mastercard rate, GST inclusive, further US$0.95 off with coins and doesn't stack with cashback.
How to get the AU$ price in the title.
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.
It's important to note there are two versions of this tablet. An Android 13 and an Android 14 version - I received the Android 14 version.
As for unethical advice for a cheaper price. You may get a partial refund if you do a dispute as the page says "8GB RAM" when it reality it's 4GB (10GB with virtual RAM).
