If you only have $129 to spend on a tablet, the selection isn't great --nor is the quality. Knowing that, the Lenovo Tab 2 A8 is one of the better choices, albeit a pretty simple one.
Click through this slideshow for a closer look at the 8-inch tablet, and read the full review for more details.
The plastic back panel of the Tab 2 A8 is smooth with a matte finish in dark blue. It feels nice against your fingertips, but it doesn't provide any grip support.
With only 16GB of internal storage loaded in, you're going to want to take advantage of the microSD card expansion slot on the top-left corner of the tablet.
One of the best features of the Tab 2 A8 is the front-facing speakers. When used with the built-in Dolby app, movies become more immersive, thanks to crisp dialogue and the sound that travels between the speakers.
If you're trying to not break the bank, the Lenovo Tab 2 A8 works fine for casual use, like checking email, surfing the Web, and streaming video. If you want a tablet with more horsepower or a slimmer design, expect to spend at least double this amount for a better model.
