Cheap Tablets?

Hello people! This is my first post, so I'll try keep it short!

I've been doing a lot of searching for a good, cheap tablet.

The best I could fine was something like an LG GPad, but I heard it was a little slow.

 

I was looking for something relatively small 7-8" preferably.

I want to use it to control the Xbox 360, my PC, and the TV (if it has an IR blaster).

I would prefer running Lollipop, I don't mind if it's flashing CM12 or anything though! ):

 

I read a lot online and watch a lot of YouTube, something fast enough for that would be perfect! I don't go for any mobile gaming.

 

Thank you all so much! :)

My mom recently bought a Lenovo A10-70 10.1". It's a decent tablet for the price. I was surprised at how fast and well built it was for the price. However it does not have IR and it's 10"

If the lenovo A7-40 is built as well as it's bigger brother that one would be my preferred choice for a cheap 7" tablet.

 

The nexus 7 is also a solid device, although almost twice the price and it's an older device.

Main Rig: Intel Core i5 2500K @4.7Ghz, Noctua NH-U12s, Asus z68 V-Pro, Evga GTX 970, Samsung EVO 250Gb, Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600 MHz 16GB,fractal design define r3, XFX XXX 850W

Laptop: Clevo w230st, 13.3" 1080p screen,  CPU intel i5 4200M(Someone want's to donate a i7-4700qm? :P), 8gb ram 1600Mhz, Geforce gtx 765m, SSD: mSata Evo 120Gb(still room for one more), HHD: 1Tb 7200rpm,

Thanks! I'll have a look into it! I had a glance at the A8 that's to be released June or so! I'll see if I can wait till then!
