I have been extremely happy with the Idea Tab Pro so far. For the price, it delivers far more than I expected in terms of performance, screen quality, and overall build.
The display is one of the biggest highlights. It is sharp, bright, and very smooth, which makes a noticeable difference when scrolling, watching videos, or reading. Media consumption on this tablet is excellent, and it feels much more premium than many other tablets in this price range.
Performance has also been solid. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and I have not experienced lag during everyday use. It handles streaming, browsing, productivity apps, and light gaming without any issues. Battery life has been more than enough to get through a full day of use.
The build quality feels sturdy and well-designed, and the speakers sound surprisingly good for a tablet. It has been a great device for both work and entertainment.
Overall, this is an excellent value tablet. If you want a fast, smooth, and high-quality Android tablet without paying flagship prices, the Idea Tab Pro is a great choice. I would definitely recommend it.

An above and beyond tablet for workflow and media

This tablet blew my mind when compared to the Samsung tablets. The storage, refresh rate, screen resolution, battery life, and durability are all above par for a competitive price, especially when compared to Apple tablets. There is no lag or latency in any app or switching between them and is great for workflow with the ability to split the screen in multiple different ways in order to efficiently run multiple applications at the same time.
I think what 'wowed' me the most about this tablet is the audio. Watching movies on this tablet is beyond enjoyable as the base audio from the tablet almost has a surround sound feel.
I highly recommend this tablet ESPECIALLY at it's price point.

really liked it, it's fast and connects easily to Wi-Fi. I use it to watch movies and TikTok videos and it works wonderfully. The colors are vibrant and look spectacular, definitely nothing to envy from other brands.

For the sale price it was well worth it. After setup and installing updates it is on android 15 lenovo zui 17. 144hz display is good. The sound is better than you would expect. Would like to see an option for 12gb ram though. I did test some dreamcast emulation seems to run fine at 6x resolution. I went with the aftermarket folio keyboard because it was half the price of the official keyboard and backlit. It has been fast for anything I have used it for.

This tablet is speedy! Big and had a host of features that make working with it so easy.
Just as great for watching a movie in bed as it is as an extended display for my PC while working.
Adding a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard has turned into a light weight work and study station I can take anywhere.

Honestly, this is one outstanding tablet. It has a bright display with great battery life. I use this for 3D modeling and the 8GB of memory and the top quality pencil that comes with does not disappoint! This hands down the best tablet you could get at this price point.

I've really enjoyed this tablet. I'm not into spending money for a name so when I needed a table I looked the high rated expensive brands and then tried to find the best bang for my buck. This was definitely the right choice. I use it a lot for studying and taking notes. The charge is great and the pen is very fluid. I also use it for drawing and like anything there is always going to be something better for professional but for my casual down time for learning how to draw digitally this was a really great buy. I honestly don't have any complaints. It was an easy set up process and I use it almost everyday. The screen is very crisp and clear, I haven't noticed any lag from switching from app to all. Overall it's a very nice tablet and I'm so thankful I didn't spend more on a bigger brand because I don't know what they could offer that this doesn't

This is a sleeper tablet! All that you want for a fraction of the price! It is super fast without any glitches except for the slow Best buy app! Other than that.. no hiccups at all! Games, videos, writing on PDFs, and taking notes.. all are lightning fast! Better life is great, and the display is good as well! Multitasking is easy and works as good as the "S" brand!

This table is great! Super fast, can multi-task easily, excellent-bright-display, works as a laptop replacement (for me) with the Lenovo keyboard attachment. There wasn't anything this tablet couldn't handle that I needed it to do. The display is larger than the regular 11 inch tablets but not too big and heavy like the 13 inch tablets everyone is making. Perfect size, perfect speed!

This tablet is an excellent deal for the price. The setup is quick and easy. Sound is suprisingly richer than expected. I would like a little more volume. The pen works well for note taking tablet use etc. I have not used for drawing not an artist. The screen is rich and vibrant unless the brightness is set too low. Works great for my use case couldnt be happier for the money and screen size. It is not super light but it has a glass screen. Works great for books and using the D&D beyond app and website (can shere books etc around the table manage character sheets etc with ease). Above all this does not feel like a cheap piece of tech.

Bought this for a work conference. Loved the size of the screen, was able to handle several programs opened at once and no noticable lag. Great size for watching movies on the plane as well. The included pen worked as well as the S-Pen for my Galaxy S25 Ultra. Only negative is the pen has to be charged, not a deal breaker for me though. Excellent value for the price.

Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 12.7" is a very convenient tablet, especially for navigation and work. The large 3K screen is bright, sharp, and looks great for watching videos or movies.
I’ve been using it for over two months and haven’t had any real issues. Very rarely it would freeze, for example in Google Maps, but after closing and reopening the app everything worked fine.
Overall, the tablet is excellent and works perfectly for media, work, and everyday use. My only minor downside is the lack of a SIM card. Highly recommended!

Excellent! But... No Charger & Limited Upgrades

Purchased during Black Friday 2025 sale.
Excellent tablet (especially at sale pricing). Even though it's not the coveted AMOLED display, it's got a high refresh rate, is extremely sharp, and has plenty of brightness. It may take some time to learn the capabilities and personal usefulness of the pen but we are impressed with pretty much everything about this tablet. It's thin and light-weight and has a huge battery. The touch screen is very responsive. It has some minor bloatware which is to be expected. It does have a slight learning curve for the organizing and arrangement of icons when coming from competitors platform. (Note: the App Drawer is not organizable at all)
Battery charger is NOT included! Are you kidding me? Apparently nobody includes chargers any more. OEM's love to hype their supposed fast charge capabilities, but don't bother giving you a charger capable of the claimed speed. I found the Lenovo 68W charger (it's cheaper than their 45W) on sale through their website (it's currently out of stock), and it seems to work very well and consistently maintains a 40-42W charge rate. A well known leading competitors 45W charger does not consistently maintain high speed charging, and after only a few seconds at 32-33W repeatedly resets dropping back down to 0W then slowly climbing back up (per AccuBattery App).
Minus 1 Star! Yeah, yeah, I get the whole claimed e-waste excuse for not including a charger, but... 45W chargers are not old news, and not everybody has them laying around like the old standard 10W chargers. New tech, lots of advertising and hype. BUT... Hey! it's NOT INCLUDED in the package.
AND... Minus one star for short update support.
The 2nd thing we think should definitely be improved is the length of OEM's so-called guaranteed update support. Two years/major updates is pretty lame. These tablets were released in March of this year (2025). So... these are still relatively new devices. They were originally released with Android 14. Our tablet has already upgraded to 16. So I guess that's it for Android system updates. Again these are advertised as "up to 2 major Android upgrades". I guess we'll just have to wait and see if any further operating system (or at least security) updates come through.
Get it on sale - absolutely!
Get it for full retail price - uh no thanks..

Not for power users. UI is poor

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
As a basic tablet, it works just fine. but as a power user if you need more task done or multi tasking. it's a poor choice. Learn it after i purchased it.
1. the split screen is not adjustable to individual resizing. it's a fix size.
2. the UI is not as great as others. seems buggy.
3. touch screen, not sure why, when touch to talk or say social media, it cuts off by itself even when holding down.
touch accuracy seems to be slightly off or the sensitivity is not there.
4. Bluetooth keyboard attachment, it's not functioning as a it should be on the computer. cursors jumping. could be a software issue.
5. look and feel. Icons are too large, not able to resize it.
Sent all trouble shooting to Lenovo, but no solutions except for work arounds.
I've been using Samsung, the UI is so much better. unfortunately I purchase this. I end up loading the MS UI on it.
Pros: it's big and speed is fast and responsive.
Good price for this size tablet

Hi UncleSam-
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Idea Tab Pro. We use your feedback to improve future products. We strive for great user experience for all our products and are disappointed that we missed the mark, we would like to recommend a few solutions that can correct the issues you described.
To start, we recommend downloading and installing all available updates to ensure your device is using the most recent revisions to the software. To begin, open the settings app, on the left-hand side of the display scroll down then select the “System” tab, finally choose the “System Update” option. Your device will automatically check to see if there are any updates available, after installation your device will need to restart to finish optimizing your apps. These updates may address the issues you are experiencing with the UI, touchscreen, and Bluetooth keyboard. To resize apps, start by opening any application, then touch the Menu Icon which appears as three horizontal lines, touch and hold on the app you would like to use, choose split screen from the menu that appears; after choosing your second app to run split screen, you can adjust the amount of space dedicated to each app by using the vertical line located in the middle of the display and dragging left or right. Lastly, to resize apps begin by launching the Settings app, tap the “Display” tab, then choose “Display size and text”, you can then use the “Display size” slider to adjust the size of your apps to your preference.
Please feel free to reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product webpage with any updates to the issues you listed above and will be happy to assist.
Best wishes, Lenovo

This tablet is an upgrade/ replacement for my wife's current Lenovo. It offered a substantial improvement of speed, storage and ease of increasing storage capacity over her previous tablet with the ability of adding an additional 512 GB over the 256GB it came with. Best Buy's sale price provided substantial discount for an already excellent tablet.

The device usage is not as it was marketed. The Idea Pad marketed for writing and creativity, but it doesn't have an app (or software) to support the stylus pen. The stylus pen is a mouse that pretends to be a pen. You can not write and draw diagrams quickly. It is easier and quicker to use the keyboard and mouse than the stylus pen.
The battery died too quickly, so the tablet required outlet accessibility most of the time.
The tablet turned off twice while i was testing it writing features.
The tablet is light weight but big enough to use dual screen. You can read book and pdf while taking notes.
Idea tablet is not a bad device if it have a supportive app (or software) with the selling point, the stylus pen.
Idea tablet price is enticing, but expectations should not be high.
