How to choose a tablet without overpaying
2026-09-24 · 2 min read
Five steps to pick a tablet that fits your needs and buy it at a reasonable price.
1. Decide how much storage you need
Many tablets don't let you expand the built-in storage, so estimate in advance how much space your apps, films and work files will take. Each storage size is a separate product card in the catalog, and the prices can differ noticeably. The "Storage" and "RAM" filters help you rule out unsuitable options and compare neighbouring configurations.
2. Decide whether you need a SIM card
Cellular versions (LTE or 5G) and Wi-Fi-only versions are different models, and the cellular one usually costs more. If the tablet will mostly stay at home or in the office, and on the go you can share internet from your phone, a Wi-Fi version is often enough. The catalog has a separate "Cellular" filter, so both options are easy to compare.
3. Match the screen size to the task
For reading and watching videos on the go, a compact tablet that is comfortable to hold in one hand works well. For studying, documents and working in two windows, a medium or large screen is more convenient. If you plan to draw, a bigger screen gives you more room, and it is worth checking in advance that the model supports a stylus. The "Screen size" filter helps narrow the choice.
4. Consider the ecosystem
Tablets run either iPadOS or Android, and the choice often depends on which phone and apps you already use. Check that the apps, stylus and keyboard you need are available for the platform you choose. All colours of one model are collected in a single product card, so you can compare specifications without getting distracted by colour options.
5. Check the price history and availability
Each product page has a 90-day price chart that shows whether the current price is typical or whether it makes sense to wait. Compare the price for paying in full, because the instalment price is shown separately and is usually higher. The "In stock only" filter keeps products that are available right now, while items marked as available to order will be delivered in a few days. The "Buy" button takes you to the store, and the purchase itself takes place there.
