$179 Lenovo Tab 4 ZA2J0007US Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.40 GHz 2 GB Memory 16 GB Flash Storage 10.1" 1280 x 800 Tablet PC Android 7.1 (Nougat) Slate Black
This is not a slick deal. This is their msrp price. And can be found from other retailers, including Amazon. Although pretty good specs from a reputable manufacturer at this price point.
I really think iPad has won the tablet wars. I have plenty of Android tablets in different price points lying around the house. All I use tablets are for news/Netflix/books. And the iPad Pro does those exceedingly well and consistently. For the rest - I have my Android phone.
Same experience here as well. Never liked/used IPhone. Always been on Android especially the Nexus line.
However none of the Android tablets last long. Poor battery life. Slow down after updates. Been using IPad for several years now. Each of them lasting easily 3+ Yrs.
Lenovo Tab 4 8" seems like a downgrade from the ZTE Trek 2 (AT&T unlocked) which was widely available for $48-60 around March on eBay and qualitycellz sold 13k+ of them[ebay.com] (right now it is around $80[ebay.com], wait for a $15 of $75 flash coupon?).
The ZTE is "new open box" and most people got new unit. It has a Snapdragon 617 Soc (octa 1.5GHz), 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, Marshmallow 6.0, dual front speakers and can take nano SIM for mobile data.

Not sure what you mean by poor battery life. I've been using a Galaxy Tab A 10.1. I get a few days of battery life with average use; usually about 18 hours of use. No slowdown after updates as of yet. I don't know a lot of people who can afford overpriced iPads.

Zte Trek 2 for $48 was an awesome deal. Been using it with Freedompop SIM. Pretty good Tablet for the price especially the front facing stereo speakers are great.
