Let’s face it: tablets have been stuck in an awkward limbo for years now. Ever since smartphone screens grew big enough to handle most of our on-the-go needs, tablets have been desperately trying to prove they still matter. For years, the industry has been trying to keep them relevant by turning them into laptop alternatives, tacking on detachable keyboards and stylus pens.
But what if tablets don’t need to be productivity machines? That’s exactly the question the Lenovo Tab Plus dares to ask. It’s like someone at Lenovo said, “Hey, what if a tablet was just a giant phone with an awesome speaker built-in, had a neat kickstand so you don’t need a cumbersome case, and it doesn’t cost a fortune?” And you know what? I think they might be onto something.
