About this deal

The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is clearly intended for two very specific use cases. One is as a replacement TV, to be a sofa buddy during long winter evenings. Its shape, its aspect ratio and more conform to this - though not every aspect does. And biometric authentication via the rather insecure 2D method usually works more reliably as the low-priced Motorola Edge 20 Lite corporate sibling recently showed in our review.

An issue when it comes to gaming is the 2K screen. More power-hungry titles, such as PUBG, did not have a fun time trying to run at a reasonable frame rate while also pushing full resolution. The tablet will easily power more casual experiences, but this isn’t going to replace a dedicated console any time soon, and it is no iPad Pro. The keyboard itself is a typical Lenovo, which isn’t to say that it has the quality of a ThinkPad, but that it has broad key caps and decent key travel - certainly for this kind of effort and at this size point.

Accessories and warranty - Tab P11 Plus with keyboard

From a holistic perspective, much of the ‘spend’ in the manufacture of this table has gone towards one area: the screen. This investment has paid off, the panel on the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is a joy to use and a step beyond what is available at lower price points. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro: camera Try as we could, across multiple days of use, it proved nigh-on impossible to kill. With mixed light to medium use we were able to coax around 10 hours of screen-on time from the device, which is impressive. Lenovo, please polish your software a bit more; this will turn the Tab P11 Plus into a very good tablet for budget-conscious users. Performance is mostly adequate. The Tab P11 Pro undercuts several rival models available from Samsung by offering a weaker processor, the Snapdragon 730G, which is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The question has been asked again and again: who takes photos on a tablet? Clearly there is an audience, otherwise rear cameras on tablets would have gone the way of the dinosaurs. The 7,700 mAh battery should get you through a day of moderate use. In our rundown test, in which we stream HD video over Wi-Fi at full brightness, the Tab P11 Plus lasted for 7 hours and 58 minutes of screen time before shutting down, just about an hour shy of the TCL Tab Pro 5G (9 hours and 1 minute).When the battery runs low, the tablet supports 20W charging, allowing you to add a few hours of power in just 15 minutes. Typical Tablet Cameras Lenovo's mid-range tablet is equipped with 6 GB of LPDDR4x RAM in our review sample, but combined with the Helio G90T, this leads to a mixed performance and system lags. Noteworthy stutters occur not only during multitasking, but also in simple processes, such as opening the multitasking view. Even switching from landscape to portrait mode sometimes pushes the Tab P11 Plus to its performance limits. In such cases, the running app is only displayed on the upper two thirds of the screen, while the home screen is shown on the other part of the display - it's impossible to operate the device for several seconds in this case. Opening the keyboard can also involve tedious waiting times. Similar to the Yoga Tab 11, the software is in urgent need of improvement. Under the hood of the Tab P11 sits a Snapdragon 662 CPU, along with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That’s okay for starters, but you’ll definitely want to slide in a microSD card to load up on more movies. The quad-speakers put on a good showing too. They get plenty loud without distorting at high volumes, and make a decent go at stereo separation. Bass in particular is a highlight, though there is also detail in the mids and trebles, so these are particularly well suited to action movies.The included 6GB of RAM is enough to keep a few apps in memory without an issue, and the 128GB of storage should last most users at least a few years. The base model is available with Wi-Fi only, while a more expensive model is available with LTE via an included SIM tray. Memory and RAM configurations are standard, there are no options with either more storage or RAM. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro: design Though the interface is mostly stable, apps are the problem. Most commonly, these are not optimized for the tablet form factor. These apps ‘expect’ to open on a smartphone, and the program window is sized accordingly, with no way to go full screen. More often than not these apps will also refuse to work in a landscape orientation, which is an inconvenience when using the keyboard especially. It’s a solid tablet for entertainment and the occasional bit of work, and there’s certainly nothing to complain about with the suave cover and keyboard. In fact, the Tab P11 falls just short of a great tablet to recommend. Where things go a bit sideways is with performance that’s not to do with streaming content. The Tab P11 will struggle when gaming, and loading up multiple apps can sometimes bring it to a crawl or force a restart. That’s a shame as it really is a great all-rounder tablet to have, especially since the keyboard and stylus are so easy to use.

Running the TechRadar battery test (a full resolution video on Wi-Fi at max brightness for 90 minutes), the device dropped from 100% to 91%, which is a strong showing overall.Speaking of which, the 7,700mAh capacity in the Tab P11 Plus should fare well for most users, including traveling professionals and students. On average, I got a screen-on time of nine hours before needing to charge the tablet. Even then, the 20W fast charging fully topped up the Tab P11 Plus within three hours, a welcome upgrade from the 5W to 15W charging of competitors like the TCL Tab 10S.
