Great price for a decently reviewed tablet/keyboard/pen combo. Unfortunately, Lenovo is awesome at developing really compelling hardware for the price they put it out for and then abandoning those products with little-to-no updates. If you get this tablet, just understand that you may not get the longevity of updates you would from other brands like Samsung. Lenovo's forums are filled with customers that invested in their hardware and were essentially abandoned as the company just moved on to the next products. This is primarily true of Android devices as Google provides security and OS updates to brands that license Android but Lenovo has a track record of only picking bits and pieces of those updates to implement in their products which creates security risks. Does this mean something to everyone? No. Is it a slimy way to treat customers? IMO, absolutely.

That being said, I'm still a fan of many Lenovo products with the exception of their android devices. I have a Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook device I got "open-box: excellent" condition from Best Buy a year ago for about $260. It came like it had never even been touched and Chromebooks get direct updates for Chrome OS direct from Google so you don't have to worry nearly as much about Lenovo managing features like they do with their Android devices.

Like I said, not everyone cares about this but it is definitely worth noting so people don't go into this purchase with an expectation of extensive support or longevity of what support Lenovo does offer. I won't buy android devices from Lenovo until they can begin to invest back into their customers who buy android devices by way of properly supporting their devices after the sale is made.

Bought two of these in the recent Amazon sale, in order to replace our kids Fire Tablets and then cancel our Amazon Kids+ subscription, as we already have YouTube Family/cutting back on subscriptions. The P12 works great for Google Kids Space. It is plenty fast and the kids enjoy it. I have no idea if it's good for anything more demanding, because I don't use it, but I can say it's way zippier than the most recent fire tablet. Recommend for a solid fire tablet alternative.

Thanks, I bought one just for reading magazines etc. The screen resolution was my primary criteria, but hopefully it doesn't lag too much!

i bought one with no keyboard from amazon, buttery smooth, as smooth as you can get for something below 90hz. it cost me 230 with no keyboard, this one is 280. 270 with the $10 discount for signing up for text. given that the aftermarket keyboards cost 40 and up, this is a really good price for the keyboar. im ordering one and returning the one i got from amazon. the only downside was that amazon was giving me 6 months for financing, and lenovo has no real financing other than offering your their CC

Has anyone tried using this tablet for video editing? Specifically, is it able to handle HEVC/h.265 4k 60fps videos? I'm looking for a "cheap" tablet to do photo and video editing while I'm travelling. The Samsung A9+ could not handle it. Sure I can probably get a newer tablet with Snapdragon 8 g3 but that would be double this price. And if I'm paying that much, I might as well just get a Windows laptop that can run more commonly used free "professional" editing software.

I bought this on Feb 3, when amazon had it on sale with the folding cover (not the keyboard) for 235. It is a good tablet and you should not see any lag while reading magazines.

can you put it on your lap and use it with the keyboard like a laptop, or does it flop over because the keyboard weighs so much less than the screen (im assuming it does, please correct if wrong)

This is very similar to Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, minus the software updates.

If the cover is the same as the one that came with mine I got a year or so ago, then there's a fold-out kickstand on the back of the cover which would prop the screen up. It has to be balanced right, but it can be used in the way you mentioned.

8GB RAM on a Lenovo is like 16GB on a Mac. The OS is just more efficient.

That's how this works, right?
