Lenovo is trying to trick consumers into this being a deal.
Gen 4 never made it to the U.S.
Gen 5 is supposedly U.S. bound in June.
This is not a deal, this is a low key attempt to offload old hardware and try to confuse customers into thinking they are getting a bargain.
Community Reviews
The Legion Tab Gen 3 is a compact 8.8 inch Android gaming tablet that stands out for snappy performance, a very good display, strong battery life, and easy portability. It is especially appealing for gaming and emulation, with Fortnite running smoothly and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 still seen as capable for Windows and mobile gaming. The main drawback is the missing microSD card slot, which matters for emulation and storage. Software support and update longevity are also a concern for some, though Lenovo's track record offers some reassurance.
Mobile gamers wanting a compact Android slate, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 runs Fortnite smoothly and the 8.8-inch size is easy to carry.
Readers and web browsers wanting a small tablet, because it feels like a large phone and is called a no-brainer for news, social media, and browsing.
Emulation players needing stable Android performance, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is described as especially stable for emulators.
Android tablet shoppers who want a strong battery, because it is described as lasting far longer than comparable Samsung tablets.
Tablet buyers who need expandable storage for offline media or emulation libraries, because this model has no microSD card slot.
Shoppers who expect long software support, because Lenovo's update runway is viewed as short and the tablet is expected to get only one more major OS update.
Gamers who want a larger handheld screen, because the 8-inch class is considered too small for comfortable gaming.
Owners who need rock-solid charging hardware, because the USB-C ports can become loose and cause disconnects.

The 8Gen 3 CPU is very old at this point. You're talking about going to an even older CPU/GPU architecture to use Windows emulator, just to play games on a weak iGPU. It's not worthwhile.
8 Gen (4) Elite, 8 Gen 5 Elite (2025), and 8 Gen 6 Elite (2026). 8 Gen 1 simply can't provide good performance/cost ratio. It's even well behind 8 Gen 2, which is already slow compared to what's available today for mobile gaming.
You have to ensure that imported Android devices are shipping with firmware that support English, and Google Play Services (needed for Play store).

granted you can pay $100 more an import the 4th generation from giz top. but a lot of people aren't comfortable importing something and again that's $100 more.
I suppose there is the risk if there's a manufacturing defect in the first 12 months that you lose some meaningful coverage but that's pretty rare. generally a manufacturing defect is not going to not likely impact your experience between them first month and the 12th month.
and there are benefits to importing for instance you get the Gen 4 version with an SD card. slightly newer model.
it just really depends. you can get some better value too like the OnePlus 15 was cheaper to import the global version than it was to actually buy it in the US by quite a few hundred dollars.
and when they are on the resale market they don't really even have a serious markdown. if you go on eBay and look for it Gen 3 Lenovo legion tab used it would probably not be much more cheaper than this.
I think the bigger question is whether or not you be better off going to giz top or something and importing the Gen 4.
Pretty disappointing, because despite that issue, was a really nice tablet. I really liked the form factor too. Wish Samsung would would make a high-end smaller screen tablet. What they have are just oversized and too heavy for my use case.
