Giving it a 3, as the tablet runs well but some apps do not work properly on it no matter what.
Wasn’t a big deal for us but pen didn’t work at all right out of the box.
Honestly it works great when it works but if you find having to use “pc mode “ to even get programs or apps you use to work return it as soon as you can

I've been looking for a reasonably priced tablet for the last 9 months. Purchased the Amazon Fire Tablet, took it back as the Fire Tablet 11 was announced. Saw the specs, and didn't think it was worth 250. This unit went on sale for similar price open box as Amazon Fire 11 Tablet. I got it for 265 after tax and gift card.
Pros: Large and beautiful screen. While it's no OLED, but it's certain better than TFT LCD screens found Samsung Galaxy 8 11 inch tablet. Next is capacity, 256 GBs standard plus expansion to 1 TB. Next is battery life, night viewing I watched 4 hours worth of content and had 63% battery life left at 60% brightness. They claim 10 plus hours, that might be true. Last pro, wireless display and with audio was better than expected. Yes so lag, but not as much as I've experienced the past with older tablets.
Cons: Accessories are limited, found a case for it, but I don't the case. New case comes out in January with Keyboard attachment. Graphical performance, compared to Amazon tablet, this is faster. However, I tried a few games that run great on my Samsung S20 Ultra phone on this device, and it was twice as slow. My phone is over 3 years old, so I'm not thrilled about the GPU performance. Last issue, memory, while 8 gigs is nice, if you try to be a power user with this device, you will run into performance hiccups. Did the dual screen with multiple apps open from Google, Youtube, Hulu, and Outlook.

If you need a large screen to multitask, this tablet is perfect. Messages and browsing on the same screen in my lap is great. It's heavier than others obviously so you don't want to be holding it up for long but with a folio case that acts as a stand, thats not a problem for me. This isn't iPad fast but everything opens quickly. The pen is also great and works well for note taking and general use. The fingerprint scanner is a bonus and I didnt realize how much I would use that but its one of those features that I dont ever want to be without on a tablet now. If youre looking for a solid large display tablet with lots of features, this is a great one to get.

This is a great tablet. My wife uses it for artistry and CAD for 3d printing and it works well. Occasionally it needs to be rebooted because the more high resource apps bog it down, but this is common even on phones. There's nothing in the way of bloatware on here, it's a clean android install with the pen firmware integrated into the machine. It has an app but I secretly disabled it to see what happens and the pen was still able to connect so I'm pretty sure they got it tied together well. Only complaint is the pen needs to be resynced sometimes if it's set down and put to sleep. About 1/6 it will disconnect and have to be reconnected. The process is easy as pie to do but more stability would be nice. I know there are about 15 different ways that it could just be my house (we have mesh routing, lots of WiFi devices, smart house crap, etc) so I'm not harping on Lenovo.
The display is fantastic and the pen almost always connects and performs very well. A top is to just focus on not putting too much angle on the pen tip, you don't have to keep it vertical (this is how I was using it and it became a chore) but the sensor is connected to the whole pen tip and that's bigger than a pen/pencil tip would be.
Product is obviously well designed. Lenovo has always had a cleanness to their form factor and this is no different. It's smooth, it has magnetics to keep the pen in place, it's very easy to hold, and the display takes up everything but a pittance of bevel, so you're getting the WHOLE screen. We have a galaxy tab and it has about an inch border so the thing feels tiny. This..does not. You feel like you're holding an entire screen from a laptop, and it just feels nicely made.
Graphics are on point, like I said my wife uses this for a lot of drawing and 3d manipulation, and she also uses it as a lightbox to trace stencil so we had to get a fairly large screen with a bright display. BAM this thing exceeded my expectations significantly.
Battery life for how we use it is top notch too. Can get a full day easily of heavy 3D work, full brightness, and multiple apps open and being used. Thing just keeps going. I haven't pedantically measured it's uptime but without serious use (so just browsing for pictures on chrome, or maybe light drawing in a small app) it lasted 3-4 days. GREAT. But who isn't going to just charge the sucker at night, you got a charging cable o.~
If you got this far thanks for reading. It's a great little device, I like it a lot, my wife likes it a lot, and it seems to fit what we needed without it being stinky apple or slow insecure windows.

Nice tablet for a musician on a budget

I purchased this tablet because of the relatively affordable price and the large screen for displaying sheet music. I added a Bluetooth pedal for hands free paging and Mobile Sheets software for managing the music library and displaying the sheets.
I've used it in performances outdoors in open shade and found the contrast acceptable. It would be difficult to use in direct sunlight (paper wins).
It's a pleasure to use indoors especially when a stand light would have been required with paper music.
I turned off smooth scrolling between pages, because it was too jerky to read while scrolling. It may be due to a slower refresh rate or just the screen technology.
The screen is tall and narrow which has been a benefit since I can see the top line or two of the next page before I jump to the next page. This makes page turning easier to follow.
The pen works well, but I wish was had a different mounting location. The pen is magnetic and only attaches where shown. I frequently brush off the pen when putting the tablet (now in a case with a pen cutout) into my instrument case. For marking up music the pen is a must. It's nice that the pen charges wirelessly when attached to the tablet.
The battery life is okay, not great. I'd guess the tablet can display music for about 4 to 5 hours on a full charge. That's long enough for most rehearsals and performances, but I need to make sure it is topped off before longer rehearsals or performances. I could easily connect an external battery to extend the life.
The screen is shiny, but I have not had trouble reading it.
The CPU performance is great for how I use it. It loads a setlist in a blink and boots quickly.
The fingerprint sensor is on the power button and I've had mixed success using it.
I also tried face unlock with mixed success. I think its because I use the table in portrait orientation and the camera is more in the landscape orientation.
Overall, I like the tablet and it works for what I needed. I'm pleased it has not frozen or crashed in weeks of usage.
I gave it 4 of 5 stars because of the pen mounting location, somewhat disappointing battery like, and somewhat unreliable biometric/face unlock.

One year in and still love it. It beats lugging my laptop to all my meetings. With the Lenovo keyboard case and a wireless mouse it's basically a Chromebook. I also added a textured screen protector since I use the pen for note taking during meetings and that make writing feel more natural. Handwriting to text is also very accurate. Perfect for watching shows when I'm traveling - sound and picture are excellent. If I'm somewhere noisy I use earbuds or a Bluetooth speaker to add bass and volume, but in a normal room the sound is fine. Unexpected bonus is that when I do have my Lenovo laptop also, it becomes an extended second display!

I bought this tablet because I wanted to replace my older Apple iPad. I was getting tired of not being able to use apps that I've bought because of the IOS updates that my iPad no longer supports.
Anyway, when I bought this tablet, the first thing it did was it updated itself to Android 14 right off the bat. Then, I installed Android versions (and equivalents) of the apps that I've used on my old iPad. This also has more system ram that most of my apps that I use so far opens and runs much quicker compared to my iPad.
Speaking of RAM, this tablet has more storage RAM compared to my iPad. I can also add a micro-sd card for even more space. I easily transferred most of my videos and documents to this.
The screen looks as good and bright as my old iPad. The pen it came with is more responsive than I first thought. It can keep up with the speed of my handwriting (give or take a few milliseconds). The camera is much more than enough for casual video and picture taking (cameras on phones are much better).
Now for the negative:
Having this tablet for a few months, I think I can say what I don't like about it:
It's BIG!
I don't hate it. It's just depending on the circumstances that I'm using the tablet for. For viewing videos and reading, it's great! But if I just want to casually show pictures or read my emails, the size can be a bit cumbersome. My iPad was just the right size, but it was heavier and thicker than this one.
The screen is not that resilient to scratches.
I somehow manage to get a light scratch around a corner of the screen. It's light that most people will probably not notice, but I do. I bought a tempered glass screen protector to keep it from further scratching.
No headphone jack.
Actually, I was kind of surprised that it didn't have one. This tablet is able to play loud with its built-in speakers, but I'm going to have to get a Bluetooth set of earphones if I want to listen to it privately.
Overall, I still like this tablet.

Really a 4.5 at this early stage.
Large screen that is beautiful and very crisp touch sensitivity. Everything I tap is what I tap, the fingerprint sensor works every time I use it. Very light. Very snappy. Feels a little fragile, but construction and wear so far do not indicate that it is.
I feel this is best bang for pixel tablet out there right now, Powerful processor/ram combo, large 12.7" screen, not OLED but very pretty IPS screen. Along with the Android support for two generations and 4-5 years security updates.
Like it a lot.
