Why we love this deal
Laptops have long had their merits, and there’s a reason that they often feel like a necessity to have on hand, even if you aren’t using it daily for work or school. However, they can often be clunky, expensive, and hard to use, which is why tablets are the natural choice every time you want the capabilities of a laptop but the convenience of something more portable, lightweight, and user-friendly. What’s more, they often are a bit more within your price range when you want quality for an affordable price, and that’s never been more true than right now at Walmart with the Bufo 11.5-Inch Tablet.
Originally a $240 device, the 11.5-inch tablet is on sale for 42% off thanks to Walmart Deals and a limited-time Walmart Flash deal. Save $100 and get the tablet and a slew of accessories, for just $140 if you act now.

Why do shoppers love it?
Measuring 10.5 inches long, 6.64 inches wide, and 11.5 inches on the diagonal, this tablet is the perfect size to go where you go. Some tablets these days can be overly large, and you don’t want to have to lug something heavy when you’re heading on a vacation or simply heading to work.
This model has an Octa-Core processor with 30 gigabytes random-access memory (GB RAM) and 128 GB read-only memory (ROM) expandable up to 1 terabyte (TB). What this means is that the tablet is not only efficient at effectively running multiple apps, games, or programs at once without interrupting your workflow, but the device’s short-term memory (the RAM) allows you to do so without lagging or buffering. You can keep dozens of apps or browsers open in the background without slowing down your computer or forcing it to restart. The ROM, or the permanent long-term storage, gives you ample space to store the data for those apps, along with photos, videos, and files for periods that extend past what you’re currently working on. With 128 GB, you can store roughly 30,000 photos, hundreds of apps, and up to 30,000 MP3 audio files. With the expandable 1 terabyte option, you can increase that long-term memory to store even more. Typically, that requires the installation of a 1 terabyte solid-state drive (SSD).
The 2K high-definition touchscreen has a high-definition in-plane switching display which delivers superior color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and crystal clear images and graphics. There is an 8 megapixel (MP) front camera, a 13 MP rear camera, and a speaker dock perfect for filming or taking video calls. There’s also built-in parental control support, allowing you to monitor screen time management, safe content filtering, and block unauthorized ads if kids might be using the device.
The 8400 milliampere-hour battery when charged is good for all-day use. You can play up to 14 hours of video, 20 hours of music, or use the internet for 20 hours at a time before needing a full recharge.
