Lenovo is getting smarter with pricing. They only allow 1 coupon code now. If you use the EXTRAFIVE for 5%, they will remove the 5% student discount/senior discount. So, only 5% discount at most.
is there a reason I shouldn't get this if I'm in need of a tablet for media consumption? mostly streaming
Great for streaming and will be for the foreseeable future, but changes a little if you plan on using picture-in-picture with other apps, especially live TV apps (scrolling the other apps will be a little choppy due to the slowish processor)
Keep in mind that Lenovo updates are very slow. Samsung offers 7 year updated on all current gen tablets. This unit will get following updated:
OS Updates: Shipping with Android 15, the tablet is scheduled to receive updates up to Android 17.
Security Updates: Supported with regular security patches to protect against vulnerabilities, officially ending in September 2029.
In other words, one more year of OS updates and three more years of security updates.

I got this a couple months back, for what I paid Open Box from BestBuy, seemed like a steal. Great screen, huge, little bloatware. Here's my observations
-It feels slow, not as snappy as iPad, but once it get's going it's fine.
-The keyboard case was not shipping in spring but it's back in stock again. Well worth it, adds additional functionality (PC mode) not just a stand or keyboard
-The screen brightness is almost on par with my iPad Pro M4. bright enough to make me want to turn it down.
I had it in the cart as 190 and then got to the end of the checkout and went through the PayPal, the paypal said 220 but with the coupon applied, but PayPal then says (return to overview of order), which is exactly the way it's always supposed to be when you click the PayPal button it doesn't complete the order you're always supposed to complete the order on the site... But sure enough Lenovo didn't know the deal or is just ignoring the rules and they sent the order through and it was 237 in total, so I cancelled and it took an hour for it to cancel
