Deal | Newly launched Lenovo Tab M11 with stylus pen drops under $170

The affordable Lenovo Tab M11 just got a little more wallet-friendly. It was announced at CES this year as a budget-friendly Android tablet for multimedia, note-taking, drawing, and more. The pad with the brand’s stylus pen generally goes for $219.99. However, with this sale in place, you can score the bundle for just $161.99.

We recently took an in-depth look at the tablet and found that Lenovo is offering a good number of things for the price. One of the aspects that we liked was the build quality. It comes with a rather attractive chassis featuring a sturdy metal build. This makes the pad feel more premium than it actually is.

Another good aspect of the build is the IP52 rating. This means the Android tab is protected against splashes of water and dust. However, it won’t be able to survive a dunk in water.

Besides, the Lenovo Tab M11 has a 90 Hz IPS panel with a 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution. While it’s good for the price, we found it to be rather less bright for outdoor use. It does get bright enough for indoor use, though. Also, we were a little disappointed at the color accuracy of the IPS panel. But for the price, you can’t really ask for much.

When it comes to performance, the MediaTek Helio G88 inside the Android tablet performs well in light tasks. But the Tab M11 does occasionally take a while to load apps, and gaming isn’t smooth. The good news is that it can handle entertainment needs reasonably well.

Speaking of which, this Lenovo tablet has a quad-speaker setup that can deliver decent sound performance. The Tab M11 also has pen support, and the bundled Lenovo Tab Pen is more than good enough for note-taking and drawing. Other good aspects include good battery life, DRM L1 support, and no noticeable PWM flickering, even at lower brightness levels. You can learn more from our written review found here.
