FULL STORY ======================================================================
Before Black Friday, I highlighted some pretty darn excellent deals on the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro , but my pick for one of the best cheap tablets has now dropped to an even lower price in the afterglow of Black Friday and Cyber Monday .
Shop Amazon's full Cyber Monday sale
Right now, the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro is just $259.99 (was $389.99) on Lenovo's US website, and 249.99 (was 379.99) at Amazon in the UK. In both cases,
you'll get the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus stylus included, which can't be said for Apple's base iPad (unless you're willing to spend an extra $99 / 99 on an Apple Pencil).
Speaking of the iPad, that was on sale for $279 in the US and still is on
sale for 299 in the UK , but if you're not a fan of Apple's iPadOS software
or would prefer a larger screen, then the best affordable Android option in 2025 is the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro . Today's best Lenovo Idea Tab Pro deals
The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro is, for us, the best Android-powered tablet money can buy for under $400, and Lenovo's own $259.99 deal is the best price we've
ever seen for this particular model. This tablet is ideal for streaming *and* studying thanks to its 12.7-inch 3K display, and its MicroSD card support is an unusual bonus at this price point. View Deal
Amazon is currently offering an equivalent record-low deal on the Idea Tab Pro. While we're big fans of the OnePlus Pad Go and OnePlus Pad Lite (both of which are exclusive to the UK), you won't find a better Android-powered
tablet for under 400 than Lenovo's 12.7-inch slate. 249 is a phenomenal deal on an extremely underrated tablet, and if Amazon's stock runs low, Laptops Direct is running the same offer . View Deal
As for hardware specs, the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro boasts a 12.7-inch, 120Hz display (that's larger and faster than the display on Apple's iPad, by the way), a long-lasting 10,200mAh battery, and a Mediatek Dimensity 8300 chipset that can easily handle streaming, gaming, and light productivity tasks.
In our Lenovo Idea Tab Pro review , we described the tablet as "a great all-rounder" that's "ideal for media consumption thanks to its sound and screen," and its support for MicroSD cards means you dont have to worry about running out of space. More post-Cyber Monday tablet deals in the US
Willing to spend a bit more? Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is Samsung's answer to the iPad Air 11-inch, but it bests Apple's tablet with incredible durability that only Samsung delivers. This price is the lowest we've seen, dropping
this Tab to base model iPad price levels. In our time reviewing the 13-inch version of this tablet, we loved dunking it in the tub while reading and doomscrolling, or drawing with the included S Pen. This tablet has a
fantastic screen and great battery life, and Samsung's software is among the best we've tried on any tablet. View Deal More Cyber Monday tablet deals

As mentioned, Apple's latest base iPad is on sale for an almost-record-low
299 right now (it was briefly 284 in October). The most significant upgrade for this model versus the previous generation is the newer A16 chip for
faster performance, but you'll also get double the storage as standard (128GB instead of 64GB). Other features include a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina
display and solid 12MP front and back cameras, which make this iPad the best iPad for casual streamers and scrollers. If Amazon's stock runs low, you can find the same deal at Currys .
