Fail on RAM. not sure 4GB is enough these days. basic system run +1 browser tab may be.
This is for Android OS, not Windows so I think 4GB of RAM is more than enough.

This article tells well how this works:
https://www.wired.com/review/lenovo-tab-p11-pro/
Like they say the Lenovo Duet which runs Chrome might be better for a Tablet because of Android limitations on Tablets. I have a Duet and am very pleased with it. It is 10" so smaller but comes with the keyboard You can get a new one for about $230.

But if you like Android this is a good deal.

"Lenovo Tab P11 runs on Android 10. This, of course, is not the latest version of the OS, but there are no tablets with Android 11 yet, and most modern tables only run on 9 or even 8."

Can you point me to a Tablet that will run Android 11 and to where you got the notion that it will never be upgraded. Not saying it will just could not find where it said it would not.

The Lenovo Android Upgrade Matrix only lists the P11 for security updates. It will absolutely not receive an update beyond Android 10 and I will bet you any amount of money on that as someone who has setup/administrated a number of Lenovo Android products.

ETA: Samsung tablets have had Android 11 since January of this year

This is a direct competitor to the Samsung tab A7 that I have, which also retails for $230. That one has only 3gb ram and it's a total POS for everything except YouTube/Netflix. It's stuck on android 10 and Samsung is very wishy washy on whether it'll get android 11. It doesn't even have the full OneUI, it has a gimped version (no dex mode etc).


For this price, this Lenovo p11 tab is king. If you want to step up, you can get a Samsung tab s7 with 6 gb ram for well over $400 if you remain adamant on buying android tablets.

Was going to say the same thing. This is an odd price point for a tablet, but haven't seems anything comparable for this price hardware wise

My 6gb/128gb galaxy tab s7 which I got for 285 runs on Android 11 and I would expect that it will eventually be able to run Android 12 and maybe 13 too

4gb is not enough. Trust me I've used 4gb on an android phone. Background apps keep needing to be refreshed. Imo 6gb is the sweet spot (trust me those 2gb extra REALLY make a difference) and 8gb will pretty much cover any situation

What apps are you using that is laggy? When you say refreshing, you mean you have to close out of the app and re-open them?

Yes I found out other Samsung tablets also run Android 11. About the only brand. But you pay more generally.

I did not see any advantages of Android 11 specifically for a Tablet. Hopefully eventually they will make updates to make tablets work better. Android 11 does have advantages and is a good upgrade of course.

Most who buy this will not care that much. Android 10 functions well enough. I have not bought a newer phone because it works well enough for me, My Samsung s8.

I tried the Lenovo Duet but returned it because no micro SD slot for expansion. I ended up with the Lenovo P11 with the 6GB RAM, 128G memory, micro SD slot and keyboard. I love it.
