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.

Under the name RedMagic.... Redmagic began selling to the US market shortly after its inception in 2018.
Though Ebay may stop you from selling it on their site due to national security
Their US Website is... https://redmagic.tech/
The problem is their phones don't have a great camera and don't have all the bands the US companies use. Besides that, the specs are WOW WOW WOW and it shows you what hardware should really cost... IMHO.
Lastly, the company is famous for their cooling system they have designed for their devices. It is some kind of liquid cooling that works with a fan that moves the liquid around your device even though your device is 100% sealed. The fan also goes on when you charge the battery which supposedly helps disperse the heat and helps with the battery life.
150 tablet is disposable after a year which is terrible

This PRO model is a high end mid or low end flagship tablet and is selling for 237.50 right now with 2% Cash back with R A K U T E N.
Forget this deal... it is the PRO model which is the crazy ass deal for 237.50 and it's specs. The only bad thing I can say is I wish the hard drive would be 256GB and not 128GB... but besides that the specs are solid.
Why a Tablet... ( to me it is for media consumption and lite internet usage)
Convenience and ease of use. You can watch a tablet in bed very easy or on a couch, etc.. To me a laptop is really not meant for the lap but meant for a table.
Most $200 Laptops use X86 architecture which runs much hotter then arm cpus which are in every android tablet... point is, a laptop can never become as thin and light as a tablet.
Lastly, this tablet will be updated for a little over 3 years... NOT a year or two.
Sony tablet I bought back in the day was like.... 3yrs official software, another 2 with open source. All laptops I have owned have been 5 years at least!!!
So the company is officially called RedMagic who are owned by ZTE.

I don't use my tablet for banking and I don't worry too much about security.
But... Lenovo Wi-Fi Only Models (Always Unlocked), so you can install Linage when Lenovo stops supporting this tablet. At this price, I bet the Idea Tab PRO will become a big topic on reddit and Linage.
And yes, Microsoft has been amazing with updates in the past. My i7 3rd gen (12 years old) will get Windows updates until this October. And that laptop was my daily driver until 5 months ago (did install 16GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD). It is like I look at the turbo tax that I have on it... 2014 - 2024.

Also, it's not like you can only choose one. I have a desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone. Among those, the laptop actually gets the least use. For reading and web browsing, I prefer to use tablets. When I need some heavy lifting, I'd switch to the desktop. The laptop is only used when I need to work while traveling which is pretty rare.
Don't think anyone can counter the future updates though. That'll be tough

it is more then effort. Every laptop i have ever owned had vents on the bottom, you can never cover those vents if you want proper airflow/cooling. That means you should use a cutting board if you want to take it on a couch or a bed.
Also, all Lenovo Wifi only tablets are unlockable... I would suspect Linage to work on these tablets in a few years. And that should be your upgrade path in 2030... if your tablet lasts that long (don't drop and crack the screen).
And the weight of holding a laptop vs a tablet is extreme.
