I’m fairly heavily invested into Alexa for powering my home. When I wanted to have some smart screens as well as video calling devices for communication to family, I bought a few Fire8 tablets for cheap, along with some stands that could telescope to almost 4 feet tall. I put the tablets into their smart display modes and they work pretty well for what I paid. The audio quality isn’t as good as the actual Alexa devices I have, but they are super portable with built in batteries and they even work OK as websurfing/video tablets now that we don’t need them as communication devices anymore.
