If you are only gonna wanna do basic stuff like watch youtube and browse GFY etc, then have you looked at the Amazon Fire HD 10 ?
Cheap as chips, (Less than £150 / $200) but if you wanted something more meaty, but did not want to get tied into the apple ios ecosystem, I'd look at the range of Galaxy Tabs. Not as cheap as a fire, but comparable to ipads etc in terms of spec
