Need a good, cheap tablet

I'm thinking maybe a 7 inch screen should be big enough for me. It's primary use will be a second HUD for PC Sim Racing, but also good enough for social stuff like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, etc. Up to £150 max. I am open to other suggestions too. However, the tablet MUST be new (I never buy used tech, as you know). Cheers for the help in advance :)

Okay, I don't see why you'd only choose to buy new tech and not used, but I'll try to respect that. Who won't you buy from?

good options, I would go for G PAD 7 tho. Has lollipop and the battery life is insane, sure it's slow, but it goes on for long.

Not too sure about the G Pad. But I have just found this one. Reviews are extremely high across the board. And it's just shy of a £100.
