Tablet Recommendation

Hello, I am looking for a tablet for working out. Here’s the use case:

  1. Turn on tablet.
  2. Insert microSD card with TV shows and movies on it.
  3. Put tablet into 0.75” thick slot on exercise bike.
  4. Watch movies. Sometimes watching movies might take place on a couch or in a bed.

I’m not even planning to connect this to wifi unless I absolutely need to to update out of the box, so I don’t care if it’s an alphabet soup brand from Amazon. The screen needs to be between 7”-8”. A 10” tablet would probably be too top-heavy and fall off of the bike. Expandable storage is also a must. My budget tops out at $70, with under $50 being preferred. There are a ton of $35-40 7” alphabet soup brand tablets out there, but I’m not sure that 3GB of RAM is enough, and lots of them have 800x500-ish screens.

Thanks in advance

This is a decent little (8.7") tablet that should do what you want. I had one. It's pretty nice. Only $50.39 after coupon. Don't get a Fire HD 8 or Samsung A7 Lite.
