Lenovo Tab Extreme Now Available in US at $949

After being released as Legion Y900 in China, Lenovo Tab Extreme has finally debuted on the Best Buy website and is currently up for sale in the US.

The Lenovo Tab Extreme, which is a 14.5-inch Android tablet, is now available in stores across the US. Although it was briefly listed on Lenovo’s website, it has since been removed. However, it has now been listed on Best Buy for $949, including a pen and folio case.

It seems like the Lenovo Tab Extreme will be launched earlier than expected, most likely around June 1st. It’s worth noting that the 14.5-inch tablet was announced in January with a starting price of $1200. It is now available for purchase at Best Buy, and while the starting price has gone down, it still starts at a hefty $949. However, it is still a feature-rich tablet.
