Best tablet deal $189.99 at TCL $279.99 Save $90 Why we like itThe Tab A1 Plus has a 12.2-inch 2.4K display and a 3:2 aspect ratio, so there's more room to read, write, and multitask than the standard widescreen tablets most students are used to. The 120Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and note-taking feeling smooth, and TÜV Rheinland-certified low blue light plus DC dimming mean it's built for the marathon study sessions where regular screens start to strain the eyes.The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip and LPDDR5 memory handle multitasking between apps without slowing down, which helps when you're bouncing between lecture notes, a PDF textbook, and Spotify. And at under a pound in a metal unibody, it's light enough to carry around campus all day, with IP54 splash resistance so a spilled coffee doesn't end your semester early.
