Love this tablet. But don't get the 4GB version. I found it very slow switching apps or just sluggish UI in general. Found an excellent open-box at Best Buy with 8GB for $169 and haven't looked back.
This Lenovo Idea Tab stands out as a budget 11 inch tablet with a 2.5K IPS touchscreen and bundled pen and folio case. The form factor is appealing, and the Lenovo software is described as fairly vanilla for a simple Android experience. The main drawback is performance, especially with 4GB of RAM, which is repeatedly described as sluggish for app switching and general use. The 8GB version is treated as the more usable configuration, making memory the key factor here.
Tablet shoppers who want a basic Android interface, because the software is fairly vanilla and the form factor is nice.
The 4GB version is heavily limited by RAM and can feel sluggish, especially when switching apps or using the UI. For smoother tablet use, 8GB is the safer choice.
Performance is reported as poor on both the 4GB and 8GB versions, with some users describing slow app launches and worse responsiveness than older tablets. The form factor is liked, but the tablet can still feel underpowered for streaming and general use.
The 8GB version is the same tablet and is considered worth the price difference for usability. The 4GB model is the main bottleneck here, so extra RAM matters more than the processor for day-to-day speed.
This model uses a 2.5K IPS touchscreen, not OLED. Lenovo's older P11 Pro Gen 2 had an OLED panel, but this deal's tablet is the newer IPS-based version.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. I got this in 8gb version last time there was a sale. It is way worse than my old old TCL 10.1" Tab 10 (with only 4gb of RAM).
Maybe I just need to disable some apps, not sure, but it's just not that great.
The form factor is nice though

Lenovo p11 pro gen 2. I had it from 2024. It was OLED screen. Never seen a better screen on a tablet. My daughter broke it by mistake and I miss it so much. I don't know if this is good or not. Lenovo stopped making OLED screens and switched to IPS screens. Sad.
Depends which one. This is heavily limited by 4gb ram. Onn tablets with more RAM will run faster, even if the processors are slower and more outdated.
I have the onn 12 in tablet. Battery life not great. After 60 days I notice I have to change it more often. Wheres my older Samsung and Lenovo don't requires charging as often and my use case was the same.

I just got in on the Idea Pad Plus with 8GB RAM...and it is honestly slower than my 5 or 6 year old Kindle Fire...both are only used for streaming video from streaming apps, and the Lenovo tablet just feels like it struggles to even get the video apps going.
