With most sought-after smartphones retailing for over $500, the careful spenders among us can’t justify spending another $329 on Apple’s cheapest iPad or even $159.99 on Samsung’s affordable Tab A7 Lite. But tablets can do some stuff that smartphones can’t so if you really want a slate but don’t want to spend a lot, Lenovo’s already affordable Smart Tab M8 Gen 3 is a whopping 42 percent off.
It’s powered by the MediaTek Helio P22T processor and has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The device will last you more than eight hours on a single charge. There is also a microSD slot, which is something not even Apple’s iPads have and it also has a headphone jack unlike most modern tablets so you won’t have to worry about buying and charging wireless earphones.
The Tab M8 Gen 3 comes with a smart charging station on which you can dock the slate and use it as a smart display.
Lenovo has a limited-time deal going on for the Tab M8 Gen 3 and the charging station which brings the price down from $139.99 to $79.99. That’s a discount of $60 and it’s a significant price cut considering that the tablet was reasonably priced to begin with.
Get it today if you want a dirt cheap family tablet with long battery life for reading, using social media and hands-free Google Assistant use and don’t want to pay for features that you know you’ll never use.
