USB port transfer speeds are approximate and depend on many factors, such as processing capability of host/peripheral devices, file attributes, system configuration and operating environments; actual speeds will vary and may be less than expected.

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.The Tab P11 Plus has a two-toned design, with the top being a rubberized finish and the bottom being a frosted aluminum. June Wan/ZDNET 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 If you’re unfamiliar with Google Entertainment Space, it’s Android’s answer to Apple's tvOS. The interface replaces the Google Discover panel and offers a curated list of streaming shows, books, and games. It’s a relatively new feature, but Google frequently adds support for additional streaming services. There’s also the matter of app availability. If your work is primarily done through the G Suite you’ll be fine, but Android is still not widely compatible with a host of essential apps in various industries. For writing on the go or for drawing work with the pleasant Lenovo pen, this will work in a pinch, but it works far better as a media player than a workhorse.

As with any device, a tablet lives and dies by the quality of its display, but the question of use case is arguably more important than the ‘objective’ quality of the panel. This is certainly a display capable of hanging with the best from any metric. It is bright, sharp at 1600 x 2560, contrasty and color-accurate. 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. In all, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro feels more than worth its price tag - while simultaneously being tough enough to take a few bashes and keep on going. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro: display 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.A nice addition too is the inclusion of a relatively fast charger in the box. Charging an 8,600mAh battery is a considerable undertaking, so this kind of charger is almost compulsory.

For light work, the P11 Pro is more than adequate - it is a good writing companion in particular. It will work for spreadsheets in a pinch, and the G Suite of apps is well suited to collaborative work. More specialist or demanding users will be better suited by a laptop, even at the same price point.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. For the kind of tasks one might traditionally expect of the tablet form factor, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is more than capable. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro: battery life It has enough oomph to make it through basic tasks and the interface without issue, but there is significant lag as it tries to perform more intensive work, such as games. This may be due to the high resolution display. While the front-facing camera is arguably more important for tablet owners, the Tab P11 Plus does only an acceptable job here. On video calls, the picture looks blown out even in good light, while in lower light, the camera produces a very flat image with noticeable noise. A Long Wait for Android 12

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. With a single-core score of 527 and a multi-core score of 1,614 on Geekbench 5, performance is very roughly analogous to the flagship Snapdragon 845 from 2018. 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. The rest of the design is pretty standard for a budget tablet, with a couple of exceptions. The top has volume buttons, mics, and a microSD card slot; the right side has the USB-C charging port and two speakers; the bottom has pogo pins to hold the Lenovo Precision Pen; and the right adds two more speakers along with the power button. Many budget tablets (like the Galaxy Tab A series) don't work with a stylus, while many others only have bottom-firing speakers.

A sleek and stylish tablet that works great as a laptop stand-in

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. 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
