A live price tracker, not a review — we check UK retailer prices for tablets and rank them cheapest first. Right now the lowest is the iPad 10th Gen 64GB WiFi from £299 (new). Across the 9 tablets we hold a live price on, prices run from £299 to £1,061 across 3 UK retailers, in new, refurbished and used condition.
iPads run iPadOS with the widest range of tablet-optimised apps and the Apple Pencil for notes and drawing; Android tablets (Samsung Galaxy Tab and others) are often cheaper, support expandable storage, and Samsung’s models include the S Pen. If you plan to draw or take handwritten notes, check stylus support and whether the pen is included before you choose.
Storage tier and whether a tablet has cellular (as well as Wi-Fi) are the main price drivers. Wi-Fi-only models are cheaper and suit home use; cellular is worth it only if you need data away from Wi-Fi.
Tablets hold up well second-hand. Refurbished and used units can save a lot versus new — check the condition grade and remaining warranty.
The cheapest tablet with a live price is the iPad 10th Gen 64GB WiFi from £299 (new). Prices move as retailers update stock, so the leader can change between checks; last checked 4 September 2026.

Wi-Fi-only tablets are cheaper and suit home, office and travel wherever you have Wi-Fi or can tether your phone. Pay the cellular premium only if you genuinely need always-on data away from Wi-Fi.
Tablets take less wear than phones, so they hold up well used. Refurbished and used units can save a lot versus new — check the condition grade, battery health and remaining warranty.
We track 11 tablets and currently hold a verified live price on 9 of them across 3 retailers. We only headline a price we can verify, so a model without a trusted live price is listed without one rather than shown a guess.
