The Tablet Thread

I have 'relocated' for work and now I'm without a home computer. I don't like to lug my laptop home each day, and my phone is too small to use as a browser, so I'm thinking I should get a tablet.

My primary use will be youtube, Pelican, and movies. Co-workers have told me I need a 10" tablet for videos, anything smaller is a poor choice, but I'm not sure that's correct. I will want to run Kodi (it's legal where I live) or something similar for most of my video .

I also have had various people say 'don't go Amazon/Samsung, you're too restricted', some say '16G of memory is fine', some say 64 is the minimum. Most say 'just get an android machine'.

I am forced to use an iPhone for work, so an iPad might make sense, but I am not an Apple fan, I don't have iTunes or any other Apple products, and I don't like the price/size ratio, so I am NOT inclined to go that route....

Prices seem to range from under $100 to about $400. (And I'm a cheap *****).

Suggestions? (And feel free to correct my misconceptions or bad assumptions)
