Need a cheap tablet for gaming or work? Lenovo's Tab M11 is now just $150

Tablets can be an expensive investment. Many go for several hundred dollars (over $1,000, in some cases), but realistically, you don't need to spend that much on a device, especially if you plan on using it to watch movies and do a bit of work. As it happens, we recently discovered a great deal on a compact, low-cost tablet. You can purchase Lenovo's Tab M11 for $150 (a $70 discount) online at Walmart.

What you get for your $150 is an 11-inch tablet running a MediaTek G88 octa-core processor. This delivers fast, smooth performance, whether you're gaming or streaming a Netflix show. The Tab M11 houses a four-speaker system that's been fine-tuned by Dolby Atmos for an immersive audio experience. The device also possesses a 128GB storage drive. And the battery on the Tab M11 lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge, ensuring all-day video playback.

Those are the notable hardware features, but a lot is happening with the software as well. Lenovo's model supports multiple window orientations, including split-screen views and side-by-side. A smart scanner is present too, which, as the name suggests, lets you scan documents or pictures to turn them into PDFs. Similarly, Google Lens lets you look up the world around you to help identify a person, place, or thing.

Of course, we can't forget the first-party tools. Immersive Reading Mode helps students focus on their reading by playing ambient music and changing the display to a chromatic or monotone color scheme. When plugged into a computer, Lenovo Freestyle turns the Tab M11 into an external monitor or writing pad.

With that $70 discount, now is the perfect time to buy a Lenovo Tab M11.
