Do you know there are cheap, yet effective tablets that can make study and entertainment come together in one lovable experience for you?

Computing has gone from mainframe computers to imposing desktops, laptops and now tablets and palmtops giving the indispensible mobile advantage – so we get more things done.

Tablets, the darling of the mobile-busy (mainly students) have become part of our lives but we sometimes baulk at the prices of some of the most common like iPads, the Samsung range and others.

The good thing is that there are some cheaper versions of these darling tablets that will provide basically the same experience for the average user.

1. Lenovo IdeaTab A3000

This is a 7-inch display Android Jelly Bean 4.1 Tablet with 1GB Ram,16GB HDD, WiFi. It has very good sound, a 5MP Rear-Facing camera and operates the 3G network.

If you are looking for a high performance tablet, especially when you download data, the IdeaTab A3000, portable enough to slip in your jacket pocket and boasting an ultra-responsive quad-core CPU, is the one for you. Its battery life is also up to 8 hours.

What more do you need in a tab as a student – and you could get it for around N30,000 online.
