Review: TCL Nxtpaper 11 PlusI whip out this tablet whenever I want to stream something while I'm working with my hands, and I can take it right after to read before bed. The paper-like display is easy on my eyes, so the tablet helps me avoid eye strain, and the 8,000 mAh battery lasts me almost all day.Inside the tablet, the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus features 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, giving you plenty of room for light work and entertainment.

The MTK Helio G100 octa-core processor powers it.Overall, this is the most versatile tablet I've used, and it's powerful enough to not randomly crash or slow down on me. A buggy performance is something you often see with affordable Android tablets, but I haven't experienced this in months of using the Nxtpaper 11 Plus.

How I rated this dealThis 30% discount offers some of the best value for money on a tablet you won't regret buying, especially at $259. It's not an all-time low price for the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus, but it's still a good time to buy one, which is why I've rated this deal a 3.5/5.
