For the times you want to work with something larger than a phone, but more casual than a laptop. Tablets offer a a ton of practical uses and some are rather affordable compared to what else is out there. Take a look at the TCL Tab 10 Gen 4. This fourth generation tablet from TCL is normally old sold at the price of $199. However, right now, Amazon is running a limited time deal which is cutting off a good 25%. That brings the price down by $49 to just $150 while the discount is still live.
This 10.1-inch tablet features a 1200 by 1920 FHD resolution screen in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s great to cozy up with on the couch or in bed to a movie or catch up on your favorite YouTuber’s latest video essay. Dual speakers join this screen to provide you with rich sound even when not using headphones. The product page calls out that the sound can be boosted to 200%, but honestly all that makes me think of is that scene in This Is Spinal Tap where Christopher Guest brags about his guitar amp going up to 11. You just made it louder! That’s the new 100%!
If you choose to use headphones, you can connect over Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C, or the trusty ol’ 3.5mm jack.
Slim & Lightweight
It’s extra slim, coming in at only 0.3 inches and weight under one pound. That helps it be both comfortable to hold for extended periods and easy to travel with after slipping it into a bag or backpack. And for those long evenings of screentime, you can set the tablet to Eye Comfort mode which reduces blue light levels coming through, helping to avoid eye strain.
Battery life is solid. The tablet is equipped with a high-capacity 6,000mAh battery which should be plenty to get you through a full day of streaming shows, reading e-books, or just scrolling endlessly. It supports fast charging of up to 18W with a compatible charger, though notably the TCL Tab 10 does not ship with one.
The tablet has both a front facing 5MP camera and rear *MP camera, supporting everyday photography, selfies, and video calls. There’s plenty of space to store any photos you take with the 128GB of storage. It’s also working with 16GB of RAM which helps ensure all the apps run smoothly. Storage is expandable up to 1TB via adding a microSD card. With Wi-Fi 5 support, you can enjoy fast internet when connected to a network that can keep up.
