I have a high power PC for my hardcore work, but for getting around I like the Google Nexus 7. Nice tablet, slick, fast, less than $200 bucks. Great for using when you fly.

The Nexus 7 is good ? I have been looking at that as well as the Kindle Fire HD-7. Guess I should go with whichever has the best price that I can find. Thanks !

Thanks everybody! Some great ideas here.The Nexus 7 is the pick of a lot of tech sites.I'll have to look at now that fellow members recommend it too. Does anybody know if there's a tablet that uses Flash?

Yes, you can install Flash on the Nexus, TravelRob. Here's a video showing you how to do it. Believe Apple is the company with a boycott on anything Adobe related.

My last pick is the Kindle Fire HD 7 Inch Tablet for $139.00. Best Buy is featuring the Kindle Fire in its Black Friday sale, which actually starts Thursday 6pm. From their ad: Kindle Fire HD 7-inch 2012 for $99.99 (regularly $199.99)

If you want something a little larger and with a keyboard and good computing power, there's a new bunch of chromebooks coming out for the holiday season. PC World recently featured one in the $200 price range, weighing on 1.25 kg. Here's that link.

Dreamer, That sounds like a good idea!Hopefully someone will post their own experiences in acquiring used devises. Some of us just need function and don't always need the latest and most expensive. POI's

Those are some pretty cheap devices...didn't realize the Kindle had gotten that low. I have an original Kindle Fire, and I've been pretty happy with it, although at 7" and limited word processing, it hasn't been everything. The little laptop in your list I went on Amazon and looked at it and it is 7" too...sort of like a mini-iPad with a keyboard, except that it's really an Android tablet with a keyboard! A tablet that size with a keyboard might just be the smallest practical tool.

Lime green! They'd have to pay me to take that one. Must be selling, though--when I looked it said there were only 6 left!

As Kermit the Frog says, It's not easy being green ! I like products in bright colors. It keeps me from losing things, especially when I travel. Hard to miss a bright green tablet, even in the gloomy corner of a budget hotel room or tucked into a dark airplane seat pocket. It is good to read about these bargain tablets. They can only get cheaper during the upcoming holiday sales.

I noticed that there's a whole new iPad model out, and the article said a lot of the people looking to buy right away were people who keep trading up. So, if they're trading in last week's model, do you have any idea where's a good place to buy good used ones? It might be as cheap as the new ones here, if they're OK

Please share your picks for $140.00  and under internet devices. I'm especially interested in your reviews for sub $100.00 tablets. Below are some of my picks. This little WolVol brand laptop has pretty good ratings and it's under...
