Bigger than a smartphone but smaller than a laptop, tablets are where productivity meets portability. I you’re often on the go or have the tendency to bring work with you everywhere, then a tablet might be useful to you. You can utilize it for writing notes, doing presentations, or taking your virtual meetings while out—among many other uses.

Aside from productivity purposes, a tablet is just as great as a lifestyle gadget. Love reading? With its big screen, it’s perfect for reading e-books. Love streaming? Watch your favorite movies and shows while stuck in traffic. Even students and kids nowadays love their “tabs!” Best of all, even the most popular tablet computers cost much less than most laptops, despite the many similar features they can provide.

Here are some of the most popular tablet computers you can get for less than P11,000 and for as low as P3,299.

And here’s one of the most impressive features of Realme Pad: it’s powered by Dolby Atmos, providing you with crisp surround sound and powerful bass with the help of its built-in quad speakers.
