If you want a tablet that simply acts as a tablet, you don't need to drop hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is a capable tablet that checks all the right boxes and it's on sale for less than $150.

As of Sept. 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ with 64GB of storage and WiFi connectivity is just $134.95 at Amazon. That's 39% off its list price of $219.99 and its lowest cost on record.

While you may be familiar with Samsung's flagship S-series devices, the A-series is a little under the radar. It's designed to deliver many of the same core essentials as the S-series, but with some swaps that knock the price down. It's essentially what the basic iPad is to the iPad Pro. The A-series tablets are "perfect for everyday tasks like streaming the latest movies, browsing the Internet or keeping the kids entertained," according to Samsung.

The A9+ is a reliable tablet that can handle all the basics with ease. It packs an 11-inch display with slim bezels, 4GB of RAM, quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, expandable storage up to 1TB, and a decent battery life (it's just OK). It's certainly no laptop replacement, but it's not meant to be either. If you're looking for something that can handle productivity tasks as well as entertainment without spending a fortune, it's going to be hard to beat this deal at only $134.95.
