A local liquidation store where I live has a 9" Proscan listed for $99.I don't like buying anything expensive there,as they don't give refunds,except for defective products.I've had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a couple of years,and am quite happy with it.

Canadian Tire has a Proscan 10-inch Tablet as a Special Buy for $119.99 and it carries a 1 year exchange warranty redeemable at any Canadian Tire store. I was a bit wary of recommending a no-name tablet, as most are completely useless. Did a lot of research on this tablet... well, the most that I could do due to it being a no-name, and everything came up positive. Turns out this is model PLT1066, made by Curtis and sold under the name of Proscan. You can get the full manual from Curtis' website. It has 8GB of internal memory (not the 4GB listed) which gives you about 4~6GB usable. It's a Google Certified tablet, which means you have Google Play -- very nice. Screen resolution isn't the greatest, but it has no problems running most games. The cameras aren't great, but they're OK for taking quick pics if you have no other photo-taking device available. Programs sometimes randomly crash, but not often enough to be really bothersome. The tablet isn't too heavy and I was actually quite surprised to see how thin it was. It appears sturdy and looks pretty nice. If you buy this tablet thinking you'll bring it back in a few days, you'll be utterly surprised. For this price, especially for a 10.1 inch tablet, you simply cannot find a better deal. If you're looking for a basic tablet to browse the web, read e-books, watch YouTube, check your email/facebook, this is perfect for you. I can't comment on longevity or battery life because I haven't purchased one yet.
