Ever heard of Telcast tablet? Teclast M40. Super cheap price with good spec but slower charging time. Price at around RM670 from shoppe seller. By the way, i am not the seller, just sharing.

• Model: M40
• Screen: 10.1 inch 1920 x 1200 LCD IPS
• OS: Android 10.0
• Core:(2×ARM Cortex-A75@2.0GHz + 6×ARM Cortex-A55@2.0GHz)
• GPU: Mali G52 3EE 2C
• Google Play Store/Google Meeting/Google Classroom/Zoom: Supported
• MS Office format: Excel,PPT,Word

RM 670++ much cheaper than Xiaomi Pad 5 about RM 1,399 suitable for normal office usage. If go for gaming and better quality, better battery life, go for Xiaomi Pad 5
