Don’t expect so much from an under 40k tablet. You may not be able to use any of them to swipe and pay for goods and services, especially when shopping at malls because they all lack NFC (Near field communications) technology, a prominent feature in high-end devices. But if what you want are devices you could use to surf the web, play HD games and read eBooks, then these low-end tablets will offer you the best value for money.
