New low/$285

As part of its wider Back to School sale, Lenovo is offering a notable deal on its latest Tab Plus Gen 2 Android tablet down at $284.99 shipped. Don’t forget to enter promo code EXTRAFIVE during checkout to see the discounted price. This is a fairly new tablet that hit the scene last month with a $400 price tag. Today’s offer lands as the first deal we’ve tracked on this model, making it a bit easier on your wallet while also setting a new best price to beat. It’s a solid option to consider if you want to step up from Lenovo’s entry-level Idea Tab models while still paying considerably less than the premium Yoga and Legion lineup. Head below for more details.

The Tab Plus Gen 2, as previously mentioned, is one of Lenovo’s newer tablets, packing a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor alongside 8GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Up front is a large 12.1-inch 2.5K display with a 90Hz refresh rate, making it a well-rounded option for everyday browsing, streaming, and multitasking. One of the highlights here is the JBL 9-unit speaker system on the back, which is tuned by Dolby Atmos. It also carries a sizable 10,200mAh battery that Lenovo rates for up to 15 hours of YouTube streaming, along with support for 45W fast charging. Other notable features include a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera with face unlock, Bluetooth Speaker Mode, and compatibility with Lenovo’s Tab Pen Plus and Wireless Keyboard.
