Hisense cuts prices on its already low-cost but capable Android tablets

After debuting solid 7-inch Android slates at low prices in WalMart stores, Hisense is dropping prices by $ 20. The Sero 7 LT is now $ 79 while the Sero 7 Pro costs $ 129. Both cuts are likely an attempt to spur back-to-school sales. The latter tablet is a great value in my opinion, with specs and performance that fall between last year’s $ 199 Nexus 7 and this year’s $ 229 model.
