Most tablets don't come with more than 8GB of RAM, especially not at this price.
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.

8gb isn't bad. I don't know how fast the processor is. Maybe someone could give their opinion on the speed of the total package?

Lenovo support is terrible with their tablets. I bought one and it received one update from Android 8 to 9. The update had bugs where the wifi didn't work properly with WPA2. People in their forums complained but Lenovo never bothered to issue a patch to fix their broken update because, according to them, the tablet was no longer receiving updates. So they basically bricked a tablet for me. I'll never give this company my money again.

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.

  • The MediaTek MT6300 performance can feel too slow for web browsing and multitasking.

  • The bootloader may not be unlockable, which can limit advanced customization options.

  • The tablet can be heavy enough to make couch handheld use less comfortable.

  • Lenovo tablet software support can be limited, with at least one update reportedly breaking WPA2 Wi-Fi and never getting patched.

Quote from FozzyFozborne View quoted comment :
VRAM is not short for "virtual RAM", but rather Video RAM in a graphics card.You pluralize initialisms like GB with an s, not an 's. "GB's" is either a contraction or a possessive. I.e. 8GB's plenty for this tablet.
"VRAM" is often used to mean "virtual RAM." In fact, that usage has been around longer than "Video Random Access Memory," which is a comparatively newer interpretation. But I'm sure if I'd said "swap file," you'd have found a way to complain about that too. Wink

And yes, I was obviously using "GB" as shorthand for gigabytes. I added the apostrophe specifically to make clear I wasn't referring to GB/s, which judging by your response, you understood perfectly. So the message was sent, received, and understood. Mission accomplished....yet you still complain.

See friend, communication is about conveying ideas and information. You understood the idea, and you grasped the information. Yet here we are, stuck in the middle of your pedantic little "um actually" rant....or would you prefer "um actuallys"? "um actually's"? "um actualies"?

FWIW, the most of us were discussing physical RAM available to a tablet, as opposed to Virtual RAM assigned to a swap file. Yet here you are hijacking the thread ranting about grammar, syntax, punctuation, and semantics instead of the actual topic being discussed. But thanks, I guess?

P.S. Not to split hairs, though I know that's your specialty, but "VRAM" can also refer to the amount of shared system RAM allocated to an iGPU when there isn't a discrete GPU. Or even Virtual RAM assigned to a Virtual Machine. Plenty of other cases as well for that commonly used, and misused initialism in the fluid internet vernacular we find ourselves in. #context

Could you turn this into an emulation tablet?
Up to Dreamcast, N64, PSX and PSP is fine.
Some light GameCube and PS2 games are doable but it will struggle with heavier games.

Idea Tab PRO is a MUCH stronger CPU/GPU and better for emulation. Probably Nitendo switch games.

Only the Lenovo Tab PRO is a real upgrade.

They are all upgrades but VERY small, unless you go pro.

So I got my Tab Pro today. It's nice.

I spent the first 90 minutes deleting or disabling different apps.

I disabled...
1. Google TV (just don't need it)
2. Kids Space
3. PAI
4. Personal Safety
5. Smart Connect

And I deleted about half a dozen apps.

The next thing I did was update the tablet... I think it took three updates. And now I am ready....

The tablet had less bloatware/spyware that I was expecting... very fast. I think most people will be very happy.

Honestly, begers can't be choosers but I wish it was 11" and not 12.7".

Anyone bought a case for this?

I got the pro... but the bloatware may be greater on the others.

I also got my case for the pro on AliExpress to save a buck. I always buy drop proof cases with glass screen protectors.

Same model as Moto pad 2026 for $70. Become a metro customer by getting a free Moto phone with $65 plan. You get the phone and tablet for cheaper than buying from Lenovo.
