Lenovo's Idea Tab Pro stands out as a fast 12.7 inch Android tablet bundle with the pen and case, and the 8GB or 12GB versions handle browsing, streaming, sheet music, and games smoothly. The stylus tracking and pen input lag are praised, and the Dimensity 8300 class chip is described as close to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performance. The main drawback is the 400 nit display, which is reported as fine indoors but weak in bright sunlight. Pricing around $280 appears common, with some lower Lenovo and sale prices noted.
Common Questions (5)
The 400-nit display is fine indoors but can be hard to use in bright sunlight. If outdoor reading matters, a brighter tablet may be a better fit.
Pen latency is reported as nearly nonexistent, and the tablet feels responsive for games, streaming, browsing, and sheet music. The Dimensity 8300-class performance is described as solid and close to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 levels.
At Lenovo, the bundle is typically $250 with the pen only or $280 with the case added. The case is what pushes the price up, while the pen is included in the base bundle.
Battery life is reported as good for media, streaming, and general use, with enough power for games like Brawl Stars and Xbox Game Pass streaming. Sleep battery life can be weaker than Samsung tablets.
It is expected to receive 2 OS updates and 4 years of security updates. That is typical for a non-Samsung, non-Google tablet in this class.

I do not necessarily plan to make a purchase right now, so if @GreyLlama509 can let us know where they got their setup at this low price, that would be wonderful and I'll keep my on it for future sales.

My main use for it is sheet music and web browsing. The screen is great for the former and speed more than adequate for the latter.
My next purchase for a sheet music reader will be the TCL Nxptaper 14 which has a larger screen and a 3:2 aspect ratio (wider in portrait mode than the Lenovo or Ipad) and has e-ink mode. I'm just waiting for the price to drop.
I'd recommend getting the version with 12GB of RAM. Android runs smoothly when you have about much, but it depends on how heavy-handed the skin is. Considering it's Lenovo, the more the better.

When was till tablet (or the 12GB one) released? Trying to figure out till when I can use it compared to an ipad which get updates for much longer.

Screen is dim for outdoor use, but perfectly fine for indoor. Screen quality is pretty good for an LCD, and is better than AMOLED from 3-4 years ago.
Stylus seems good in terms of tracking.
Battery life is pretty good for media consumption/usage. Sleep battery life is fairly bad compared to Samsung.
Software is usable, but rough along the edges compared to Samsung.
Chipset is a flagship 2024 chipset, so it's plenty fast for everything. For $200-something bucks, you won't do any better.
