The Lenovo A8 is a solid, simple slate, but its lack of an app tray makes other budget options more appealing.

Everyday performance is more than adequate and the battery life sufficient for a full day. The tablet is certainly not very exciting to look at, but the build quality is decent and the 8-inch IPS display with its vivid colors and good contrast is easy on the eyes.
