Small tablet with docking station

Ok, it's not very technical, but this forum section is inhabited by members who are most likely to know...
I'd like to buy a small(ish) 8" Android tablet with a charging docking station, but they don't seem very common at all.
The only one I've found is the Lenovo M8 Smart Tab (the "Smart" being the thing that distinguishes it from the variant that doesn't come with the dock) but it doesn't get very good reviews. Anyone aware of any others - hopefully with a slightly better display? Don't mind going up to 10" or down to 7", but don't really want to spend more than around £120 as I only want to use it as a remote control!

    Thanks - that's interesting. I'd not looked at the Echo range. Unfortunately I need to use it as a tablet, and I don't ~think~ you can with an Echo 5 or 8 - they are permanently "docked"? The other thing which I'm not sure about is whether the Amazon "skin" that provides the user interface will allow access to the Google Play store, which I need to get to in order to install the app that I'll be using?
