Have you ever suspected a tech company of intentionally overpricing a new product at launch to then quickly try to artificially inflate the appeal of said product with seemingly huge discounts?

It's hard not to at least consider that possibility for the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5, which originally went on sale in the US at an absurdly high price of $849.99 just a little over a month ago only for its manufacturer's Black Friday in June event to give you the opportunity to save as much as 200 bucks already.

With a state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, a massive 9,000mAh battery, and a compact 8.8-inch screen capable of refreshing your content at a blazing fast 165Hz rate, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 is more affordable than ever... if you remember to apply the "BUYMORELENOVO" and "EXTRAFIVE" e-coupon codes to your cart before finalizing your order.

Technically, the gaming-centric 8.8-inch powerhouse is listed at $699.99 at the time of this writing on its maker's official US website, but if you hurry, you can knock an additional $50 off that price with the promo codes "BUYMORELENOVO" and "EXTRAFIVE." And yes, the two codes can be used together for the same purchase of a single device, at least for the time being.

Now, let's imagine the Legion Tab Gen 5 was released last month at a recommended price of $649.99. Would you have been blown away? Probably not, as that's how much something like Apple's 11-inch iPad Air (M4) currently costs on Amazon in a 256GB storage variant.

But because the Legion Tab Gen 5's price is reduced by $200, you're probably more inclined to take advantage of this undoubtedly limited-time promotion and snub the iPad Air (2026) duo, as well as the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Tab S10 FE Plus, and Tab S11.

Do I recommend pulling the trigger here at 650 bucks? Actually, I do, as long as you're aware of the strengths and weaknesses of this unusually powerful 8.8-incher, starting with that relatively small screen (which can be viewed as either an advantage or disadvantage depending on your size preferences) and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor that's unrivaled in today's Android tablet landscape.

The 9,000mAh battery equipped with blazing fast 68W charging is also impossible to beat (at least as far as sub-10-inch slates are concerned), and because you're dealing with a gaming-focused device, the cooling technology is also like nothing else available today. Oh, and you get two USB-C ports for an extra touch of versatility and convenience as well. And 12GB RAM paired with 256GB internal storage space. And a super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate-capable screen. You know what, I think I might have convinced myself to give the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 a try.
