Xiaomi Mi Pad 2

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is an amazing tablet, at less that 200$ you get a tablet with the same screen as the IPad Mini 4, A body made of aluminum and the possibility to flash AOSP. It comes in 3 variants:
a 16gb Android version, a 64gb android version and a 64gb windows version


The Screen :

The screen is a 7.9 inch IPS, with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixel. It's colors are really accurate but the blacks tend to wash out at an angle, but still this is the best tablet screen i ever saw

The Performance:

This tablet has got quite a beefy cpu, an Intel Atom processor with 4 cores clocked at 2.24 GHZ(X5-Z8500). In everyday tasks the Mi Pad is a treat to use, every game i tried ran very smooth at around 60-80fps. It gets a little warm but not over 30° Celsius which is not bad at all. It also has 2GB of ram, which is more than enough for Android but i'm not so sure about windows. I would recommend getting the 64GB windows version that can be flashed to android with this guide.

The Battery:

On average with the 6500mah battery in the MiPad i get aroud 6-7 of screen on time, it's not amazing but more than enough to get me through a day of use

Where to buy:

If you wanna avoid any risk of getting a fake product i would recommend going with an authorized channel. I would recommend GearBest because it's an excellent store, if you live inside the EU you should buy from the European warehouse to avoid import taxes 

Conclusion:

I would recommend the Xiaomi MiPad 2 to everyone looking for a cheap tablet but with the same premium feeling and speed as a 600$ one.
