Lenovos latest gaming tablet is now under $700 — save big on the Legion Tab Gen 5

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5, a gaming-focused tablet, has dropped to $689.99, marking an 18% discount and $160 off its original price of $849.99. This new price is available at Lenovo's official website.

Powering the Legion Tab Gen 5 is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, complemented by 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage, all housed within a 3K display capable of reaching 800 nits of brightness. The tablet runs on Android 16 and boasts an impressive battery life of over 12 hours, which is exceptional for a gaming tablet.

Mashable recently reviewed the device, assigning it a 4.5 out of 5 rating and awarding it the Mashable Choice. Reviewer Samantha Mangino praised the device's processing power, assuring readers that its Geekbench 6 scores place it in elite company, even outperforming a MacBook.

Mangino highlighted two standout features: the tablet's compact size at 8.8 inches, making it more portable than the standard 11-inch iPad, and the two USB-C ports that allow gamers to connect controllers or headphones while the tablet charges. These features set the Legion Tab Gen 5 apart from most tablets on the market.

Battery life was another area where the Legion Tab Gen 5 excelled, with Mangino reporting that it lasted over 12 hours in testing and maintained its performance during livestreaming, even during a WNBA game, without any stuttering or slowdown. With these features and its lower price point, the Legion Tab Gen 5 is recommended for anyone seeking a dedicated gaming tablet.
