Lenovo's Idea Tab Plus stands out as a large 12.1 inch Android tablet for notes, office work, and streaming, with a sharp 2.5K display, 8GB of RAM, a 10200mAh battery, and 45W charging. The size feels portable enough for a bag, and the pen support makes handwriting and text conversion useful, though the pen is not included in the Best Buy version. The main drawbacks are the modest processor and weak graphics for modern 3D games, plus face unlock only and limited accessory options. Security updates are expected through 2029, making it a practical midrange pick for everyday use.

Common Questions (5)

  • The Best Buy version does not include a pen or case. It works with the Lenovo Tab Pen, which uses a AAAA battery, and a separate bundle is sold with a stylus and folio case.

  • Yes. It is described as a strong size for writing notes, translating handwriting to text, and handling office apps, browsing, and side-by-side windows or PC mode. It is also portable enough to fit in a small sling bag.

  • It is fine for office apps and browsing, but the GPU is reported to be weak for modern 3D games. Fortnite is described as not good, and PUBG is only playable on lower settings.

  • No. The only biometric unlock mentioned is a face scanner, and it does not work for banking apps that normally accept fingerprint or face ID.

  • The 2025 model is expected to receive security updates until 2029. That is shorter than some newer Lenovo Chromebooks, but it is better than older Lenovo tablets.

I assume this does not come with a stylus or a pen? Can you use it with one?

That's right. Doesn't come with one, but works with the Lenovo Tab Pen.

Looks like this BB version doesn't come with pen. Got mine from Lenovo, and it did come with Lenovo's basic pen. Uses a AAAA battery. Works great for me, but I don't draw. But it's great for writing notes, and then they get translated into text. Reviews say Samsung and Apple pencils are better and have lower latency.

I have Apple iPad Air and Samsung tablets but this is the first tablet I have this size, and I freaking love it. Smaller than a full on laptop but still super portable. Even fits in my small sling bag. It's the perfect size to get work done. Just connect a BT keyboard/mouse or buy the keyboard folio. You can do side by side windows or use PC mode (Google's version of Samsung DEX but more limited).

Two warnings about this tablet... While the CPU performance is just fine for MS Office apps and browsing and all the work apps I've tried, the GPU seems weak for modern 3D games. I have seen slow down in some games. I play this one Z Survivor, and when there's more than like 100 zombies on the screen, the FPS plummets. And reviews pretty much say the same. Fortnite not good. PubG playable with lower settings.

Second thing is the only biometric ID is a face scanner that doesn't work for banking and other apps that would usually work with fingerprint or face ID.

Lastly for any accessories you get, be sure they match this 2025 version, as this has different dimensions than the previous version. There are few 3rd party accessories, other than basic covers.

Can the SD card be used as internal storage? I bought the Idea Tab Pro last year and surprisingly the SD card could only be used as external storage.

My Surface Pro 7 is starting to show its age. By no means is it unusable, but I've had to completely turn off the constant anti-virus scanning. It would bog it down rendering it unusable. I mainly use it for office apps and it's great for that. When I have some time to kill, I'll remote into my desktop using Parsec and load up a game on Steam. Cloud gaming is legit, even on a device that can barely run indie games.

For those adventurous enough, you can pick up the Chinese version of the Lenovo Tab Pro (Xiaoxin Pad Pro) on Aliexpress with coupons and cashback for around the same price. The Chinese version does have English as an option and you can enable Google Play store and services. I was able to pick up the Legion 3 equivalent for around $220 after CB which has SD8 Gen 3.

Typically by thousands to tens of thousands of times, depending on what you compare. So when that data is being composed on your SD... your slow tablet becomes CRAZY slow.

And don't be fooled this is a slow tablet.

There are tons of sellers. Just go to Aliexpress and search for Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro and just sort by low price. For CB, just do a google on Aliexpress CB and pick the portal with the highest CB. I was able to get 30% CB on 11.11. I think CB has dropped progressively more each day after. The site I used is blocked on here and cannot be linked.

Would this work as a monitor for movies streamed from a Samsung Fold?
