Lenovo has just announced no less than five new Lenovo Android tablets to replace last year’s lineup (the Tab 4 Series available at Amazon). The new models are divided into three groups: the budget E series, which comes in seven-, eight-, and 10-inch models; the midrange M10; and the more premium P10 (both of which are 10-inch models).
Apple has been leading the field lately with their phone and tablet sales but I suspect that will be changing soon due to the budget Lenovo Android tablets just announced. Apple tend to constantly increase their prices with each new release and I suspect that is driving customers to other quality portable devices.
Some of the details are below but the best things about these new tablets are the prices. You are able to buy quality, non-Chinese knockoff model starting at just $70. This is a fantastic deal and a solid competitor to the very limited Amazon Fire tablets that have enjoyed so much attention.
Here are all the details:

LENOVO TAB E8

One concern is the processor and memory speca are pretty light but for a device designed to consume media (reading, watching, email, etc), they are perfect. Tey are clearly all more designed as family devices, not productivity powerhouses. Fortunately, the prices reflect that, too.
The Lenovo Tab E7 is the cheapest, starting at $69.99 when it releases in October exclusively at walmart.com. The Tab E8 is next cheapest at $99.99, available now at Walmart, while the Tab E10 will cost $129.99 when it launches in October.
As for the more powerful Tab M10 and Tab P10, Lenovo hasn’t given any release date or pricing information yet, but promises preorders available later in the winter.
