This plus-sized Lenovo tablet gets 31% off in a surprise new sale and comes with a stylus in tow

Lenovo's budget Idea Tab Plus has just become a great choice for users on a budget. Believe it or not, you can now grab this 12.1-inch model with a Tab Pen in tow for just $249.99.

We're looking at an especially generous 31% discount here, not something you can see every day. And sure, there are more capable models you can get, but for the price, this device gives you a pretty solid overall value. 

• The cheaper Lenovo Tab One may be an even better choice for users on a shoestring budget, especially now that it's 44% off.

If you ask me, the Idea Tab Plus is a great choice for daily tasks and long streaming sessions. Its large display gives you enough real estate for various tasks, while the 90Hz maximum refresh rate gives you reasonably fluid animations.

As for performance, this Idea Tab model is no powerhouse. It features a rather low-end Dimensity 6400 chip, which gives you enough potential for some daily tasks, but you can't expect it to run heavy gaming titles or demanding apps like a breeze.

On the bright side, the device offers a long battery life. According to Lenovo's estimations, you can get as many as 13 hours of nonstop streaming on a single charge, though the 10,200mAh battery may need to be replenished sooner if you constantly interact with it. 

In addition, the device comes with Android 15 out of the box, though it'll receive regular OS updates through Android 17. As for security patches, they should last through 2029, giving you longer peace of mind. 

So, if you think the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus is good enough to meet your daily needs, now's the time to get it. Head to Lenovo and take advantage of its ongoing sale before it's too late.
