I have been saying for about a year that the slowest CPU/GPU that you should by is the G99 which is equivalent to the SD695. This deal is for the next step lower CPU/GPU which is the G88. The G99 is about 40% faster then the G88.
For LOWEND tablets they go as this........ and the G88 does not even make my list.
G99 and the next one up from this is the Dimensity 7050. And this is equivalent to the SD695 and the next one up from this is the SD 6 Gen 1 (equivalent to the Dimensity 7050). The trend is more devices will be dropping the G99 and SD695 CPU and start making devices with the Dimensity 7050 as the new King of low end. At the same time the SD695 is being dropped and the SD 6 Gen 1 is starting to be the other king of low end. So the new kings of lowend CPUs are about 40% faster.
I personally do not recommend getting a tablet that is slower then a SD695 or G99 with at least 8GB of RAM, so I can not recommend this deal.
AND there is a Samsung deal right now, the A9+ which has the SD695. I normally do not recommend Samsung but the A9+ is under 160 and also has 8GB of RAM and 128GB harddrive.
But my favorite LOWEND tablet is the "iplay 60 mini turbo" by alldocube which has the SD 6 Gen 1 CPU and USB-C 3.1 (3.1 does HDMI out so you can connect to any TV). It has 8GB of RAM 128GB Hard drive, Micro SD card BUT it only has a 8.4" screen which turns people away. This sells for 140ish from vendor on ALiexpress.
I think this feature would make it a better deal than Samsung, but the above post about processing power does maybe sway the consensus back.

I will never recommend a Lenovo tablet after my own experiences. I fell for the Slickdeals Lenovo hype once upon a time and never again. Buyers need to do their research and as always caveat emptor.
Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Prod does not have a global version that means it was opened and unlocked and there will probably never be any updates. If you get the Chinese version you need to clean up the tablet and sideload the playstore. The Chinese tablet will most likely get updates.
I find this post to be very useful.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Tab 11. It stuck on Android 12, but I knew it would when I bought the tablet. No complain here. My tablet has no GPS, that I didn't know until I received the tablet. I'm a little annoyed here. The CPU or SoC is MediaTek Helio G90T. It's so-so, but I'm OK with it. Restart after reboot takes awhile, but I can take break during reboot. That is my experience with the only Lenovo tablet I have. Would like to know other's experience.

I used the A9+ 8GB a few hours yesterday for setup, web browsing (and found I can use desktop version of Twitch on a browser - win), and even a game that I usually use on my iPhone 16 Pro - and found no issues.
I can agree that the SD 695 is likely the lowest one should go for a good experience. The game loads an extra second or two longer than the iP16P for sure. But as far as "regular" tasks like web browsing and single-app-at-a-time usage, I think this is fine.
I just realized the A9+ 8GB was on sale for $127 some time ago; that would have been a sweeter deal.
EDIT:
I really wanted to jump on the iPlay tabs but really scared of the aliexpress/chinese product aspect. For an extra $15, I'd take the Samsung.
I think you made the right move between this tablet an the iplay 60 mini turbo. Because of updates.
My only other suggestions is to see if you can clean up the bloatware on your tablet. And I would recommends the app "killsapp" from the playstore. I've purchased like three pieces of software in my life an Killsapp is one of them... but you can use the free version.
Also.... if you are running an Android. I also suggest you install "Kiwi Browser" and download (google just took it off their store) ublock origin and install it as a addon within Kiwi. Youtube videos of this if you are unsure how to do this. But with this add blocker I find my internet speed seriously increases plus I never get popups... NEVER.
I like using the website "notebookcheck" and I compare CPU/GPU. It says the SD695 is about 20% faster then your G90T... not enough for you to consider upgrading. But I don't know how much RAM you have.

Agreed with bloatwear; I'm a Pixel guy because of the clean UI & fewer stuff I actually have to remove.
Will look into killsapp; I don't mind buying things that are actually useful. ublock has been installed but currently using samsung browser with it. I did see Kiwi recommended by folks; will look into it.

Lenovo offered zero real support for any of the issues I had, literally their only suggestions were to restart the tablet or reset to factory defaults, which of course can't fix their shoddy manufacturing and poor quality. They would not RMA.
Combined with my similarly bad experiences with Lenovo laptops at work, I'm completely soured on them.
