If you like budget-friendly Android tablets, chances are you're already familiar with Lenovo's extensive portfolio of decidedly feature-packed and visually appealing iPad alternatives. The thing with it is that it's not always easy to find the best option among so many great mid-range products... with annoyingly similar names, but if you're looking to spend less than $250 on a large and reasonably powerful slate right now, you can't go wrong with the Idea Tab Plus.

This bad boy is only a few weeks old, mind you, and yet somehow it's already on sale at a pretty substantial discount over a list price that didn't feel excessive to begin with. If you hurry, you can pay $239.99 instead of $289.99 for a 12.1-inch touchscreen with 90Hz refresh rate technology, an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor, 8GB RAM, and 128 gigs of internal storage space.

How does all that compare with Lenovo's competition in the sub-$300 segment? Well, Samsung's 2023-released Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, for instance, normally costs $269.99 in a 128GB storage configuration, although due to its advanced age, saving 50 or 60 bucks isn't exactly hard nowadays. But the Tab A9+ sports a smaller 11-inch display than the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus, and the same obviously goes for Apple's A16-powered iPad 11, which is pretty much impossible to come by at a lower price than $300.

Lenovo's newest mid-range giant also holds other important advantages over many of its direct rivals, including an impressive-sounding quad speaker system equipped with Dolby Atmos audio technology, a hefty 10,200mAh battery purportedly capable of keeping the lights on for up to 13 hours (of YouTube streaming) between blazing fast 45W charges, and believe it or not, a handy Lenovo Tab Pen included at no extra cost.

That's right, you can get a stylus alongside this more than respectable 12.1-inch tablet for only 240 bucks for a presumably limited time, and this particular deal is unlikely to be improved during Amazon's big Prime Day event next week because you're looking at a product here that's not actually sold by Amazon just yet.

Mint Mobile is also offering an incredible bargain for those seeking unlimited data! The carrier's latest deal lets you grab any unlimited plan for just $15/mo, bringing the 12-month Unlimited plan to $180 instead of $360.
