This tablet is AMAZING for the price. Here is a rundown of the pro's and cons.
Pro's:
1. It's a Chromebook, HUGE advantage such as updates until June 2028, updates by google, frequent updates. Chromebooks are considered to be the most secure OS around (besides Linux). So it is safer and more secure then apple OS or Microsoft OS or Android.
2. The screen is nice. Not great for outdoors since it goes up to 400 nits, but considering that laptops are sold today that only go up to 250nits... this screen is pretty good. The Fire HD10 screen has 440nits.
3. Battery life is INCREADABLE... this is due to a weak CPU/GPU. Lenovo states over 16 hours... I get over 12.
4. has 3.5mm headphone jack
5. Chrome is the full windows based app, so addons would work on this browser. Chrome on Android is not a full version of Chrome... this is truly a HUGE advantage.
6. No bloatware on Chromebooks per google.
Cons
1. Speakers are weak but this is a tablet... my Samsung tab S7 speakers are not as good as my $10.00 Bluetooth speaker. Also, my 9 year old has not complained once about the speakers.
2. ONLY 32 GB hard drive and no micro SD card. While this is low, you get over 18G of free space after all updates are done. This is plenty of space for many apps such as Facebook, messenger, brave, gmail, hotmail, etc...
3. Some apps may not work... the only two that I know is Call of Duty and Sky: Children of the Light. One issue is that this Chromebook is running 32bit Android 9 OS under the Chrome OS. Call of Duty last update made the game a 64bit game, it use to work but no longer does. And the other game only works on SD and apple CPU. Every other app that I wanted has worked. great. And this tablet can run Linux apps and if you want mind craft you will need to enable Linux and download and run the Linux version.
So I highly recommend this tablet... we have not had one issue with this tablet. I purchased this tablet for my 9 year old and she plays Roblox all the time.
There are four tablets that have extremely similar speeds and each app/game should work very similar between the 4 tablets.....
Lenovo P11 = Samsung TabA (4GB version) = Fire HD10+ = Lenovo Chromebook 10e. The SD662 and the MT8183 are very similar in speed. Based on this list, there is only one Chromebook tablet and based on the advantages of a Chromebook OS... to me it is a no brainer get the Lenovo 10e.
IF YOU GET THIS TABLET... PLEASE READ....
1. First thing to do is to update this tablet, youtube how to update the Chrome OS (it is not through setting... but through Chrome). You need to update this tablet three times before it is fully updated and this took me a long time.
2. Google wants you to stream through Chrome. So google has provided widevine Level 1 support only through Chrome and not through any app. So my advice, if you want to stream in HD quality is to use Chrome and go to netflix.com or amazon.com or hbo.com or disney.com etc... ALSO, this saves harddrive space cause you never downloaded and installed the app.
3. Try not to run to many apps at once and try not to have to many tabs opened in Chrome at the same time. So you need to learn how to close apps. It is very easy to never close an app and then you notice your tablet slowing down. If you want your tablet to run at peak performance limit the amount of apps you have going on at the same time. This statement can be said for most tablets on the market.
4. There is a small learning curve to understand how to use Chrome OS. Just be patient and use YouTube as a guide.

More technical stuff.
Speed wise its great for what it is.( Not a samsung s7 tablet or anything.)
But handles Minecraft great.( The bad some apps in the playstore do not show up on chrome devices.(Minecraft)
I had to put tablet into developer mode to install it.
Only technical people should attempt.
While powered off Hold down power button, volume up and volume down all at the same time.
Release after ~5 seconds, and you'll see the white power button light turn on by the usbc port.
You'll see a black screen. Press both volume buttons at the same time once. Then, press the volume up button (has a + sign) around 10 times. Press the power button once. Wait 30 seconds. A screen should show. You're in dev mode.
The bad once your in developer mode every time you completely power off the tablet and power it back on the developer startup shows up.
I just dont hit any buttons and after 20 seconds it boots right in.
Once your in developer mode and chose to go back to regular it wipes the tablet.( At least it did on mine)
In developer mode it lets you install apk's which are full android game packages. I use my tablets like that so I can customize everything.
But for 100 bucks its great. I got the additional case for them since it was for my kids and my kids love them.

is the touch screen decent ?
it seems to be a 2 year old design and I do not remember when they started letting you download Android apps off Play store
Thanks

My wife bought me a stand to put a tablet on so I can sit in the hot tub and stream Xfinity. The lights above the hot tub are setup through Google home so it'd be nice to be able to tell it to turn the lights on and off.
She bought me a Lenovo M10 originally but streaming was very choppy.
Also looking at Samsung A7 and Lenovo P11. Currently using an old Amazon Fire HD.
If you can swing it I recommend plugging a TV into an inexpensive laptop instead - it will look a lot better and it's a lot more immersive, even on the old 42" 1080p TV I have mounted on the wall in front of my bike with a cheap speakerbar attached beneath it. I also don't get neck cramps from looking down all the time.

You said the steaming is very choppy.... your internet could be a factor. While the 10e, tab A7, p11 and Fire HD10 are all similar in speed... they are about 30 - 40% faster then the M10. But I would think you can still stream with no issues with the M10???
The good about the 10e is you can stream from Chrome (might be better then having the app).
And, no issues with using google home, just download the app.
Use Google Home through your Chromebook
While your run-of-the-mill desktop doesn't feature onboard support for the Google Home app, those using a Chromebook can download and use the application as they would on a regular mobile device — and it's all possible via the Google Play Store.

I read everyone has the issue with the M10 and Xfinity stream and it might have to do with Widevine?

While google Chromebook are NOT widevine Level 1 certified... google did make sure any streaming through Chrome will be widevine level 1 certified but not through any apps.
I think you would totally appreciate the Lenovo 10e. The downfall is
1. small hard drive 18 GB of free space after updates and no micro SD slot... this really does not effect everyone but it may be an issue in the future if you donwload a lot of apps.
AND realize that the tablet does 400nits, while that is good, other tablets are brighter such as the Fire HD10 that does 440nits and Samsung's Tab A7 has 413 nits and the P11 has 400 nits.
If you do get this, just remember that the first thing to do is update the OS. You need to YouTube a video that shows you how, it is not done through settings but done through Chrome.
