What if we told you there was a way to get an affordable, ultra-compact tablet for the whole family for under $80? No, we are not dreaming, and neither are you! Instead, head over to Lenovo's official website and get the Lenovo Tab M8 (4th Gen) for just $74.99! That's right, the entry-level device is getting a slight 31% markdown from its MSRP of $109.99. Ideal for kids and adults alike, this Lenovo slate can easily be among the best budget tablets, especially at this price. That's why, if you're on a very limited budget but still want the convenience of a tablet, we suggest you buy this bad boy while you can.

Now you may be wondering, “What am I going to do with an entry-level list?” Normally we would agree with you – but not now. Granted, this slate doesn't let you enjoy blazing-fast performance or super-vivid visuals, much less impressive multitasking capabilities. But let's be honest for a second: at its current price, the device gives you excellent value for money.

This bad boy gives you all the basics you could ask for: an ultra-portable, lightweight design with a slim body, so even little hands should find using this Lenovo slate a breeze. Speaking of little hands, parents can easily set up parental controls on the tablet via Google's Family Link.

If you're a bookworm, this tablet could very well be your ideal reading companion. The 8-inch screen features eye protection and a reading mode that gives you an immersive and realistic reading experience with little to no eye strain.

And those of you who love a good movie or TV show can watch your favorite characters in HD resolution. Complementing your video streaming, dual speakers should give you decent audio quality for the tablet's price range.

As you can see, this tablet may not have incredibly good specs, but it is perfect for most everyday activities. When you add advertised all-day battery life to the equation, you're looking at a real bargain right now.
