This extraordinary new $40 (or 28 percent) discount, which seems to be exclusively available at Best Buy, somehow manages to surpass Amazon’s recent $30 Prime Day markdown without asking, well, anything of you.
You don’t need a special membership or to meet any other conditions right now to save that 40 bucks and get a surprisingly premium-looking slate made out of metal at its lowest ever price.
The HD (1340 x 800) IPS screen and the 8MP rear and 2MP front-facing cameras are obviously nothing to write home about, but the 5,100mAh battery promises to keep the lights on for up to a solid 13 hours of video playback between charges (no doubt helped by a frugal display and energy-efficient chipset), and the dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos technology also sound pretty tremendous (both figuratively and literally) for such a crazy low price point.
It’s genuinely difficult to think of a better or even a comparable tablet at a similar price today, and believe it or not, even the aforementioned fourth-gen M8 is (slightly) costlier at the time of this writing with only 2GB RAM and several other downgraded features and specs.
