Tablet for chess

[u/Meruem90]

I've got 0 knowledge of anything regarding tablets and their surroundings, so here I am making a post in this sub.

I'm looking for a tablet for these activities:

- play chess (main scope) smoothly and without Lagg

- read ebooks&similar

- watch videoes

- play some lightweight play store game like tower defenses and similar

- excel, word etc etc

Hence, the most "heavy" activity would be playing chess, which as far as I know shouldn't be such an hassle for modern day tablets.

I would like to spend less than 150 euros, for buying this tablet is more like an extra comfort I'd like to have rather than a real need where it's worthed to invest big money.

Also, it would be nice if it was possible to connect a mouse and if the tablet could keep working smoothly when playing chess on the browser rather than on its dedicated app (allowing me to draw arrows, a feature that the app is missing). But this is just an extra.

Does such a tablet exist or is the budget too low?

PS:

Also a device with Microsoft would be fine tbh

Well since none of your games are heavy on graphics, about any tablet will work. So your basic choice is android or apple, and I would presume Apple is out of your price range. I currently am using a TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus which was around $200 US and comes with a case and pen, which is very unusual for the price. Unfortunately it appears to be out of stock on US Amazon where I bought it.

What I like about it is that it is cheap and lightweight, and it has a couple of unique features, first, it has a coating on the screen that diffuses reflections, and it is part of the second feature, which is a toggleable "faux-e ink" mode that emulates a e-ink ebook reader.

As far as excel and windows, well Microsoft doesn't make tablets anymore, but there are android apps from microsoft that run android versions of excel and word, or you can use them online. Not sure about compatibility of the android version with the online version but it should be close.

Hi, thanks for the reply! I've checked your suggestion and it's indeed a good one, but it's 100 euros above my price range sadly (250 euros on amazon Italy). Maybe if I manage to find a good sale this will do tho, thanks again!
