The USB Type-C port with Quick Charge 3.0 and 3.5mm audio jack are located at the right side, though as with all tablets, if you're using the tablet the other way around, then I suppose it's on the left.

Behind you'll find a 8-megapixel camera.

Android 7.0 Nougat is the name of the game, and the Tab 4 8 Plus is no different.

If you're letting your kids use the tablet, Lenovo sells a shock-resistant bumper to protect it from bumps and falls.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
