LG G Pad X8.3

The LG G Pad X 8.0 only costs $50 with a two-year AT&T service contract. It has a lightweight and portable design, sharp screen and full-size USB port. The built-in IR blaster lets you use it as a remote control.

The $50 price tag is half the story. You still have to pay extra for monthly cellular service.

Skip the LG G Pad X 8.0 if the thought of a tablet two-year contract seems ludicrous, but if you're cool with a commitment, a $50 initial buy-in can't really be beat.

The LG G Pad x8.3 features a 4G LTE cellular connection. It has a full-size USB port, infrared blaster and it comes with a stylus. The MicroSD card slot expands up to 128GB.

The stylus isn't deeply integrated into the user interface. Gaming performance is slow.

If purchased at the discounted price with a 2-year contract, the LG G Pad X8.3 is a solid tablet for everyday use on the go. For $299, the G Pad X8.3 isn't worth it, given that better options are only a few dollars more.
