The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro has quickly become an indispensable tool in my daily routine. Here’s why I love this tablet:Design and Display:The first thing that caught my attention was the sleek and lightweight design. Weighing very little, it's incredibly portable and fits perfectly in my backpack. The 12.7” 3K LCD display is simply stunning—crystal clear, vibrant colors, and perfect for both streaming lectures and indulging in my favorite shows. The Low Blue Light certification is a thoughtful touch that makes extended study sessions comfortable on the eyes.Performance:Equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, this tablet handles multitasking like a champ. I can have multiple apps open at the same time, and there’s zero lag. The Wi-Fi-6E support ensures that downloads and streaming are lightning-fast, which is a huge plus when I’m rushing to catch up on lectures or research.Audio Experience:The quad JBL Dolby Atmos speakers provide an immersive sound experience that enhances both my study sessions and downtime gaming. Whether it's for listening to podcasts while studying or playing games like PUBG, the audio quality is top-notch.Battery Life:The battery life is another standout feature. With up to 11 hours of video streaming, I can easily go through a full day of classes without needing to recharge. And if I do find myself low on battery, the 45W quick charge feature gets me back up to speed in no time.AI Features:One of my favorite aspects of this tablet is the Google Gemini AI assistant. It’s incredibly helpful when I’m stuck on assignments, providing quick answers and suggestions that save me time. The Circle to Search feature is brilliant—just draw a circle with the included pen over what I want to search, and I get instant results without cluttering my screen with screenshots.Gaming:Lastly, for those who also want to game, the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro is PUBG certified, boasting a 360Hz touch sampling rate and impressive 90fps performance. This responsiveness has made my gaming experience smooth and enjoyable.Conclusion:Overall, the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro is a fantastic investment for students and casual users alike. It combines performance, portability, and a rich feature set that makes studying and entertainment effortless. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish tablet to elevate their digital experience!

My review is about the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 12.7"I did not buy mine on Amazon, i bought it locally in my country and in my country it comes with 256gb/8gb + keyboard + pen + motobuds for the same price.I owned several tablets and currently also an iPad Pro M4 11" and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9.The good, the Lenovo has a very good screen bright, sharp, crisp, and similar like Samsung it has a PC mode (on Samsung called DeX).Except the Lenovo does a better job because in PC mode you can run apps windowed like in Windows just like on the Samsung DeX but you can readjust the apps from minimized to maximized and windowed without restarting the app.Apps like YouTube can run windowed and you can overlap the YouTube app with another app and it will keep on playing (this is not possible on Samsung)Battery life is fairly good, the CPU is reasonable fast and the tablet feels smoother & faster VS the Samsung.You have a SD card slot to expand storage, careful when ejecting and inserting it feels very fragile and flimsy and i had some issues to fit it back.I do not understand why Lenovo did not release this tablet in the US with keyboard, the keyboard is very nice.Overall the tablet for being a 12" feels pretty heavy compared to others especially with the keyboard case bundle.Setting up the tablet was very frustrating, Lenovo bundles the tablet with loads of bloatware and you can't remove it or uninstall it till you set up the tablet and install all the bloatware and updates for the bloatware.Even then i was struggling to delete all of it, each time i deleted the bloatware there was an app from Lenovo installing it right back.It took me 2 hours and some instructions i found online to permanently disable/uninstall the bloatware.But once the bloatware is gone the tablet is pretty snappy and fast and battery lasts way longer.The biggest downside or flaw is WiFi, it supports 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz but i recommend using 2.4Ghz.WiFi signal is pretty bad, it might be one of the worst i have seen in a long time.I have mesh coverage in my entire house and both frequencies are enabled.There is not a corner in my house where you get less then 4 bars of WiFi on any device, yet the Lenovo Tab somehow manage 1 bar on 5Ghz and 2 bars on 2.4Ghz.In short,Pro's:- Very good screen quality and size.- Expandable memory SD slot.- Pen works and feels better then most tablets.- Lenovo keyboard feels so good (if you wish to order it separately)- Interface feels snappier then most brands and PC mode is superior vs Samsung DeX.Con's:- WiFi connectivity very bad signal.- Bloatware very hard to remove (and also too much of it).- Heavy

Ive been using the tablet for about 90 minutes, so this is more of a first impression right now.My only major complaint so far is with the trifold case. The case feels great, but it only has one set angle when propped up. You can kinda get it to lay more flat by using the pen holder to support the back of the tablet but this is somewhat precarious. The case needs a few extra grooves that would allow the screen to be held at multiple different angles. The tri-fold makes the tablet sit too vertically, but this could just be a consequence of me being 6'2" tall.What a great tablet. This thing is pretty cool and a very capable, possibly a more capable iPad alternative. I honestly think app compatibility would be my deciding factor between the two devices. This tablet feels premium. I really like it.The audio is top notch, the full metal housing is lovely, the display is super crisp with deep blacks and its gets more than bright enough for indoor and outdoor use. It might struggle with direct sunlight, but in a well lit room, I'm using less than 50% screen brightness.The pen is super accurate. Surprisingly so. Its lighter than I like, though as the only drawback for the pen. Lots of extra controls with the button. It kinda reminds me of the old Note phones with their stylus.The integration of Google Lens is pretty handy. I've used the AI integration a very limited amount so far, but it's capable and intriguing.I haven't been able to test the pairing with Windows yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. I'll update this review soon as I use the device and get more familiar with the special features.
