Everybody knows Lenovo sells some of the most stylish, feature-packed, and overall greatest budget-friendly tablets in the US, but until recently, there was a pretty major omission from the brand's otherwise comprehensive Android-powered roster of iPad alternatives stateside.

As its somewhat convoluted name suggests, the Lenovo Tab K11 Gen 2 (5G) fills that gap with built-in cellular connectivity, and just in case the slate's $369.99 launch price a few weeks back didn't seem low enough to you, the world's third-largest tablet vendor is today reducing that mark by $40.

If you want to spend even less on an even larger and more powerful Lenovo tablet... with no 5G support, the Tab Plus Gen 2 is on sale at a killer $100 discount.

Whether you're a business professional or a "normal" user who needs to be connected to the internet at all times when traveling or commuting to work, this newly released 5G-enabled tablet will almost definitely satisfy all your needs, especially at a reduced price. Your $329.99 will not buy you a stylus or keyboard, but the 128GB internal storage space, 8GB RAM count, and MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor should be more than enough to justify a purchase right now.

Obviously, you're not looking at a life-changing discount here, but given the very young age of the 5G-enabled 11-inch mid-ranger, you should be more than satisfied with any deal you can get right now. Keep in mind that you're also not looking at a powerhouse here, although the 8GB RAM count does make it more compelling at least from that one key standpoint than the likes of Samsung's (Wi-Fi-only) Galaxy Tab S10 Lite at a similar (or slightly higher) price point.

Unfortunately, your $329.99 will not be enough to buy a stylus or keyboard, but that was obviously to be expected from a relatively well-balanced and handsome tablet with a 90Hz refresh rate-capable screen, four Dolby Atmos-tuned speakers, and an "all-day" battery equipped with 20W charging technology.

Can you do better at only a little over three Benjamins in the US tablet market at the time of this writing? Definitely not if you want to be connected to the internet whenever and wherever you go, and even without 5G (or 4G LTE) support in tow, it's going to be hard to find a superior value proposition in Apple's iPad portfolio or Samsung's Galaxy Tab lineup.

The "standard" A16-powered iPad 11, for instance, normally starts at a whopping $599 with cellular capabilities, very rarely going more than 50 bucks off list and thus by no means playing in the same affordability league as the newly discounted Lenovo Tab K11 Gen 2 (5G).

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
