The Lenovo Tab M9 is one of the more understated tablets out there, and its most recent price drop should put it on everyone's radar. This midrange tablet normally retails for $160, but as part of a new Clearance sale, the Tab M9 has gone down to just $80, a huge 50% drop in price.

Because the device is on clearance, this may be the last time that you'll be able to buy the Tab M9 at such a low price -- or ever. Lenovo may be clearing up inventory to make room for a brand new model. The tablet originally launched back in 2023. In the two years since its release, the device has stood tall as a great budget entertainment device when lounging or using as a secondary screen for work.
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. It's powered by a MediaTek G80 Octa Core processor and 3GB of memory. For the camera system, you have an 8MP lens on the rear and a 2MP selfie lens on the front. Lenovo's tablet has 32GB of storage for storing photos and apps.
As you can see from these specs, it is not a super powerful device, but it makes up for it 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 Best Buy user reviews, people praise the Lenovo Tab M9 for its size, long-lasting battery, and ease of use. Others appreciate the lightweight form factor and solid audio output. Considering its display and compact design, I'm finding it difficult to recommend any other value-centric tablet that's on sale this week.
