I would get an Android tablet before I would buy a Windows computer or iPad especially for the uses you mentioned but you asked for cheap asses and this cheap ass would put Ubuntu or Mint on the old computer and carry on.
I have an ancient tablet with Android 4 that easily does everything you want. I just need to get a new battery for it. I also recently found out that it can be upgraded to Android 11 using a few software hacks so that's a plus.
