Is the Lenovo Tab M8 HD LTE a smart buy at $99? That depends on whether you care more about its premium metal back cover and standalone 4G LTE connectivity or its outdated software and humble memory count.

good for that incredibly low price point, currently marked down from an original MSRP of $209.99. Yes, you can get an HD display , standalone 4G LTE support, a battery life rated at a reasonable 12 hours on a single charge , and even a premium metal back cover for just one Benjamin for a presumably limited time.

Of course, you will have to make certain compromises and learn to live with a few not-very-impressive features , but if you think you can do that, you'll find the specifications mentioned above and the metal design are truly unrivaled in this price bracket. The software is by far the most important corner the Lenovo Tab M8 HD LTE appears to cut, with Android 9 Pie listed under this section on the company's official product webpage andsince the slate made its commercial debut all the way back in 2019.

As far as we can tell, the tablet doesn't have security patches guaranteed going forward either, which is... pretty bad. It's also not great that you'll get a modest 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage space from your"new" 8-inch device, but at least there's a microSD card slot allowing you to"fix" the latter inconvenience.

At the end of the day, you'll need to decide for yourself if the admittedly major flaws of the Lenovo Tab M8 HD LTE outweigh its equally big affordability, connectivity, build quality, and battery life advantages. You may have to make your decision fast, though, as this totally unique and unprecedented deal is unlikely to last long.
