Lenovo YOGA Tab 3 Plus

Lenovo knows that a good looking display is one of the most important features-if you look at the screen and say "bleh", it won't sell.

The screen is very colorful and sharp, and it's up to the task of video playback and quality time in Kindle, Nook or Google Play Books.

The stand's action is firm and it holds the tablet upright against spirited pokes on the touch screen.

The built-in kickstand is as ever a nice touch, but I suspect it's more useful with 10" and larger tablets, since this one isn't hugely heavy or unwieldy to hold.

It's not as slim and light as some of Samsung's lower end tablets, but it has a classier look and a robust build that I'd trust with kids.

Lenovo has thankfully dropped their heavy-handed UI overlay and gone with a much cleaner Android 5.1.1 experience.

Since this is a budget tablet, I wouldn't expect years of OS upgrade support.

In fact, I'm not sure it will get any OS version updates.

It's a much better display than you'll find on no-name Android tablets in the lower price ranges.

The Yoga Tab 3 is an Android 5.1.1 tablet and it's fairly clean without the heavy UI customizations Lenovo employed in older models.

With 1 gig of RAM, you'll want to keep an eye on multitasking, particularly with heavy apps like games and YouTube.

If you're looking for a name brand Android tablet on a budget, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 is worth a serious look.

What's Not: It won't win any races against high end Android tablets, but that's fair for the $169 price.
