But if you want to do the same thing now, Lenovo will charge you $549.99. A $50 increase may not sound drastic, but it’s definitely highly unusual, and unfortunately, I can’t find an alternative shopping route for you today at any price.
The two tablets were unveiled and released at the same time, mind you, but unlike its bigger and (originally) more expensive “cousin”, the third-gen Legion Tab was a bit harder to find in stock these past couple of months, which is why it’s still listed as a “new arrival” on Lenovo’s US website.
That messy availability situation might explain why the 8.8-inch tablet became pricier all of a sudden, so you’ll now have to decide if this thing is worth 550 bucks… or you’d rather wait for an eventual discount of some sort.
In addition to a fairly hefty memory count and a respectable amount of internal storage space, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 comes with a speedy Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor under the hood, as well as a state-of-the-art cooling system, a silky smooth 165Hz refresh rate-capable LTPS screen that sounds ideal for lengthy mobile gaming sessions, and a super-slim but also decidedly robust “full metal” body.
The battery life should be respectable (at the very least), the two built-in USB-C ports promise to add an extra touch of convenience compared to most other “mainstream” tablets, and last but not least, two “super linear” speakers will do everything in their power to fully immerse you into your gaming with minimal effort on your part.
Simply put, this is a tablet like very few others on the market right now, but its price tag is still a little hard to swallow… especially with the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus currently costing just $539.99 with 16 gigs of RAM instead of “only” 12.
