This $95 Lenovo tablet is fantastic for mobile entertainment – and I’m tempted to buy two

Lenovo Tab M9

The Lenovo Tab M9 is one of the more understated tablets out there, but its most recent discount should put it on everyone’s radar. This midrange tablet has just gone from $160 to $95, a huge 40% drop in price.

While this sale is on the 2023 model, the tablet is still a great device if you’re after a budget entertainment device to lounge with or view your work on a secondary screen.

I recommend the Lenovo Tab M9 for people who want an inexpensive, everyday tablet. It sports a nine-inch HD touchscreen that outputs an image resolution of 1,340 x 800 pixels, and it’s powered by a MediaTek G80 Octa Core processor and 3GB of memory. It also has a rear 8MP camera, a 2MP selfie lens, and 32GB of storage for photos and apps. 

As you can see from these specs, it is not a super powerful device. But what it lacks in output, it makes up for in other areas. The Tab M9 has a 5,100mAh battery that lasts up to 13 hours of video playback. It also weighs 13.4 ounces, making it easy to carry around and a great travel device.

“Dual speakers provide crystal clear sound,” Lenovo touts, but if you don’t want to disturb the people around you, the device has a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones on the side.

Looking at Amazon user reviews, some praise the Lenovo Tab M9 for its vibrant, high-resolution display, while others appreciate its longevity. Considering its display size and handy design, I’m finding it difficult to recommend any other value-centric tablet that’s on sale this week.
