The elegant yet functional design received universal acclaim from reviewers. 

Various YouTube hands-on videos showcase the high-end look and feel belying the Yoga Tab 3 Plus's affordability. 

There is minimal bloatware too thanks to Lenovo paring back its Android 6.0 software customizations.

While not ideal for graphically-intense 3D games which exhibit some stuttering, the Yoga Tab 3 Plus handles casual gaming, video streaming, web browsing, social media, and other everyday tasks without issue.

Owners report satisfactory longevity after 6 months of steady use apart from mild kickstand wearing.
