The third-gen Lenovo Tab M10 Plus is as much tablet as most will need and if procrastination doesn’t get the better of you, you can pick it up for a really good price at Amazon.
The 4GB/128GB model usually retails for $229.99, but at the moment you can save $66 on it. For comparison, the 128GB iPad 9 costs $479.
You’d be hard-pressed to find another tablet in the $150-ish price range that provides as good an experience as the Tab M10 Plus. The device is thin and light, so it’s easy to carry around. And while its screen is no OLED, it’s crisp and sharp.
The tablet’s performance isn’t bad either. The MediaTek Helio G80 thrumming away inside provides enough juice to keep up with multiple web browser tabs, Facebook, and X. It even manages light gaming well.
Make no mistake though that you may see it struggle momentarily sometimes. It will never get to the point where you’ll want to throw it at the wall. And hey, that’s quite a feat for a sub-$200 tablet.
The tablet makes up for the not exactly blazing fast performance with a battery life of up to 14 hours. It has also not been stripped of the two staples you won’t find on most other tablets: a microSD slot and a headphone jack.
In short, the Tab M10 Plus is a cheap, no-frills tablet that’s great for tablety tasks. Despite its shortcomings, it doesn’t feel cheap and if all you want to do is use social media apps, browse the web, and read, it’s the best option in the class after the price cut.
