As tablet deals take center stage for many who are about to start a new school year, retailers are launching new discounts left and right. One such example is Amazon, which is currently offering an 11% discount on the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus, representing $30 in savings on a solid, affordable device.
The Lenovo Idea Tab Plus comes with a first-party stylus, a 12.1-inch touchscreen, and a built-in Folio Case with digital pen storage. It's backed by Android 15 and features a relatively lightweight, albeit durable, aluminum build, as well as a basic 128GB of storage.
For those who need additional storage, it also comes with a built-in microSD card slot that offers up to 1TB of additional space. To be sure, it doesn't exactly feel like a premium tablet, but even at the normal sticker price, it offers a pretty good value for what you get.
✅Recommended if: you're looking for a powerful Android tablet with a large, useful touchscreen, and you'd prefer a device that comes with a first-party stylus; you need something with enough storage for a wide range of file types, even if it means utilizing a microSD card; you like having something thin, lightweight, and portable, and something that also feels durable and drop-proof.
❌Skip this deal if: you're looking for the best tablet on the market and you have the budget to spend money on a premium-level device; you plan to use this for fast-paced gaming and you'd rather spend more on something with top-notch performance; battery life is your top priority when it comes to using a tablet with a stylus.
Lenovo's Idea Tab Plus offers a mid-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen with a 90Hz refresh rate, clocking in at a slightly smaller overall size than the Tab Pro. It has 128GB of storage as well as a microSD port for expandable storage, and a great Folio Case with storage for the included Lenovo digital pen stylus.
Lenovo says the tablet will get users over 6 hours of battery life per charge, and while that isn't an industry-leading spec by any stretch of the imagination, it's likely enough for most casual users, students, and young professionals. If you're looking for a hardcore gaming tablet, however, you may want to look into higher-priced devices with better performance.
