Deal | Affordable Lenovo Idea Tab Pro gets 36% price cut, sports 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage

Although the ongoing RAM and storage pricing crisis has made life harder for bargain hunters, attractive deals continue to show up on the inter webs, although at an understandably lower frequency than before. 

For instance, prospective tablet buyers on a budget will likely have Lenovo's Idea Tab lineup on their radars, with the first-generation 12.7-inch Idea Tab Pro tablet now available with a major 36% or $154 discount on Lenovo's official US online store. Customers are requested to utilize the "EXTRAFIVE" coupon in order to take full advantage of the deal.

The Idea Tab Pro offers admirable mid-range performance

Powered by the potent MediaTek Dimensity 8300 SoC, overall performance is very respectable. Compared to other affordable tablets in this price range, the Idea Tab Pro definitely appears to have the upper hand in multicore performance. The slightly pricier and smaller Apple iPad 11" with the A16 SoC is a lot faster, especially in single-core performance.

That said, folks with moderately demanding workloads and media consumption requirements are unlikely to ever run into performance bottlenecks.

As revealed by our in-depth review of the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro tablet, the 12.7-inch display on offer is perfectly admirable for most use cases. The 2,944 x 1,840 IPS panel rocks a peak refresh rate of 144 Hz, and tops out at a mediocre 400 nits of brightness. Although the panel covers over 98% of the sRGB color gamut, our testing reveals its color accuracy performance is nothing to write home about.

Included stylus offers a great note taking experience

Battery life is very decent, with the tablet lasting around 17 hours in our video playback test. Students in particular will also appreciate the included Tab Pen Plus with 4,096 pressure levels and tilt sensitivity. We also found the pen to be quite comfortable to hold.

Other notable details of the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro tablet include 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, quad-speaker setup from JBL, 13 MP camera at the rear and an 8 MP camera at the front. At its current price, the Idea Tab Pro definitely offers a lot of bang for the buck, all things considered.
