I was thinking of buying a tablet, so here are two tablets I saw that were affordable. I'm considering ASUS only, since some of the Acer tablets I saw that were affordable, didn't fare too well in some of the reviews I read.
Specs of the 2 tablets, ASUS VivoTab Smart and ASUS Transformer Book T100, differences in specs are bolded.
NOTE: The Transformer Book T100 does not have a rear camera.

The Transformer Book T100 isn't out yet, but if its really better than the VivoTab Smart, I'm willing to wait. Your views?
The smart is one of the first Win 8 tablets and there's extremely mixed reviews on build quality which scared me off of buying it at the time. Hopefully the TX will be a step forward from any problems...if time's not an issue, it'll surely be an improvement. In terms of performance, everyone's claiming Bay Trail will be far superior to the previous atom processors like in the Smart.

I also read about how Bay Trail is 'far far far better than previous Atoms', I'm ok to wait if its good, but if it isn't better than the VivoTab Smart, I would have wasted my time. I do hope it is better.
I'm waiting to get one of either of these 2 gems:

If I were you I would wait too.

Oh yeah, the Dell Venue 11 Pro. I forgot about that maybe I'll consider that too since its around the same pricing as the VivoTab Smart (as per some reviews, USD499, same as VivoTab Smart). I wouldn't consider the Surface Pro 1/2, since IMO its an overpriced tablet. I think I'll wait.
Sent from a piece of metal. Or plastic.

Interested on T100. I heard it is speedy based on the review. I hope the RAM is upgradable by user

Buy the ASUS Transformer Book T100
I've decided to use the money to buy a new laptop (since that was more or less what I really needed), its a Lenovo Ideadpad Y410p, but thanks to all for your opinions! (Someone lock the thread?)
I own an outdated Apple iPad 3 Wi-Fi & I'm planning to sell it in favor of the MediaPad M3 (or even the M4 which is around the corners) which looks attractive to me (the 8.4in screen size seems perfect & compact to me, less weight, & less price!).
What worries me is that I'm not sure if the drop in screensize from 9.7 in for the apple to the 8.4 inch for the Mediapad will have negative impact on reading comfortability when viewing Math oriented PDFs in portrait view.
What interests me on the other hand is that the resolution of MediaPad is higher (1600 x 2560 pixels with ~359 ppi pixel density compared to 1536 x 2048 pixels ~264 ppi pixel density for the apple) but I'm not sure if this 'll compensate the drop from 9.7 to 8.4 inches.
I'm asking because I don't have access to MediaPad tablets in local stores, & even if I have, I won't be allowed to copy PDFs to it to see for myself in real.
Do you have an example PDF you can share? If so, I can look at it with both my iPad Air and the M3 and let you know what I think.
Yes

Anyone use both the amazon HD 8 and the new $64 walmart Onn 8" tablet and wish to share their impressions on how they compare?
The HD 8 (2018) and the walmart Onn 8" both have bootloader unlock and root. Onn 8" unlock, root, xposed. On paper the walmart Onn 8" looks better, having more ram and near stock android 9 with treble for a lower price.
Onn 8" vs HD 8 (2018) specs
cpu: same MT8163 1.3GHz quad core
screen: same 800x1280
ram: 2 GB, 1.5 GB
flash: 16 GB, 16 or 32 GB options
cameras: 0.3 MP/ 2 MP, 2 MP/ 2 MP
OS: Android 9, FireOS (android 7.1 based)
Wifi: same dual-band abgn
non-sale price: $64, $80
Battery life of the Onn 8" is reportedly not great.

That's the onn 10" vs Fire HD 10. The Fire HD 10 has a faster processor, higher resolution screen, and non-prime-sale costs $70 more. The Fire 10 should win that. It's a different comparison than onn 8" vs HD 8, which are more closely matched with same processor & screen res.
