Lenovo Tab M7 and M8 Android Tablets

If you are in the market for affordable tablet(s), you may want to wait it out for two new devices from Lenovo: Lenovo Tab M7 and Lenovo Tab M8. The duo is the latest to join Lenovo Android tablet family. Now, you how “budget” tablets tend to not just sacrifice the specs but also the looks? While we can’t say the duo has the best specs, the duo is definitely not shabby in the looks department.

Not going to lie. The aesthetics did their job in drawing our attention to it. They are the prettiest in the market, but enough to get our attention with their premium metal designs and relatively thin bezel.
