How I rated this deal

Getting a solid tablet for less than $100 seems too good to be true, but the Lenovo Tab One offers plenty of reasons to choose it over more expensive competitors. With microSD expandable storage, Dolby Atmos audio support, and a 12.5‑hour battery, it’s ideally suited for students and casual home use. That’s why I gave this deal a 4/5 Editor’s rating.

We’re not sure how long Lenovo will offer this deal, but it could sell out quickly.
