In terms of performance, this should be a step above the cheapo Walmart(Onn)/Amazon-branded tablets and a step below the base iPad or the Samsung S10 Lite series. My unc has one and it's fine for watching conspiracies videos on YouTube and browsing the web. Watching a picture-in-picture video while simultaneously rambling on the facebooks is also fine.
Closest competitor to this like another comment alluded to is the Samsung A11+. The A11+ has a better CPU and longer software support while the Lenovo has slightly more RAM and a better display. If someone has a budget of sub $200 and just wants to do media consumption than this Lenovo Idea Tab should be fine.
Community Reviews
The Lenovo Idea Tab is a budget 11 inch Android tablet that stands out for its 2.5K screen, included pen, and solid media use. It handles streaming, web browsing, reading, YouTube, and light gaming well, with Balatro, Roblox, Minecraft, GTA San Andreas, and even some retro emulation getting positive real world use. The headphone jack, USB C fast charging, and 8GB RAM make it feel more capable than cheap entry tablets. The main drawback is the MediaTek 6300, which keeps it from feeling fast for heavier multitasking or demanding apps, and the 480 gram weight may matter if you want something very light. A practical pick for everyday entertainment and casual use.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, the tablet includes a Lenovo Pen/Tab Pen Plus in the box, and buyers mention using it right away for notes and general use. The box contents listed in comments include the charging cable, 45W adapter, guides, and microSD tray pin, with the pen called out separately on Lenovo's product page.
It is fine for YouTube, streaming, browsing, email, and light gaming, but it is still a low-end MediaTek tablet and can feel sluggish with heavier web pages or too many apps open. For basic media use under $200 it should be adequate, but it is not a productivity or multitasking machine.
It can handle lighter games and emulation well, including Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA: San Andreas, Balatro, and retro systems like Dreamcast, N64, PSX, and PSP. Heavier GameCube, PS2, or Switch emulation will be limited and may struggle.
At around $150, it is considered a strong value for an 8GB RAM tablet with a 2.5K screen, especially for media consumption and light use. The main tradeoff is that the CPU is still entry-level, so paying more gets noticeably better performance in the Pro model or other higher-end tablets.
The regular Idea Tab is listed at about 480g / 1.06 lb, which is comparable to other 10-11 inch tablets. That weight is still noticeable for handheld use, but it is not unusually heavy for this size class.

And you think the average person will have the knowledge and tools needed to do this repair? Not to mention installing linage?
In addition don't you think the average person would want to spend $224 on a tablet that has a MT8300 cpu? Not to mention UFS 3.1 and 8GB of RAM and 144Hz screen. It is the CPU that makes this deal so sweat, about equal to a Snap Dragon 8 Gen 2... while it is not the best, it is still up there
To make some people feel better, I damaged two desktop CPUs (thermal paste issues), 1 cell phone screen, 1 laptop motherboard during upgrades. It is my fault for careless.
Also, Samsung had poor business practices. My Samsung TV died in 13 months, right after the 12 month warranty. They refused to do anything, until I filed complaints. Samsung said it was still customer's fault and they had no idea of the issues. When the Samsung tech guys came in my home, they knew exactly the problem because they came with the replacement part!!! They were working on a known problem. That's why I may buy Samsung tablet but I won't buy another Samsung TV.
So I did make a mistake... it seems it does not come with a keyboard but it does come with pen.
And the weight of the Ultra is 693 grams, and it is the exact opposite of what you said...
And what do you expect to do with a 12.7" tablet? This is not something you hold in the air for long periods of time... I don't understand what the point of mentioning that it is heavy... IT IS 12.7" but it is not as heavy as you claim!!!!

Yep you're correct. 620 grams vs 692 grams my bad. Can't find the pen in the content though. Decent specs and great brand. You can't go wrong with it.

I am personally not a fan of the large tablets BUT... it is the best bang for the buck by far.
