What I like about this tablet is the keyboard and especially the 2 USB-C ports. But I'm not going to lie, when it comes to software tracking, I have zero confidence in Lenovo, and I think very few people are willing to put $1000 into a tablet with a rollercoaster software tracking.
I bought one when it first came out. I sold my Tab S8 Ultra to buy it, mainly for the additional USB-C port with DP in. I would say that the biggest plus for this device is the keyboard case. Being able to detach the tablet and have the kickstand come with it is amazing. I have use the tablet as an portable monitor for my GPD Win Max 2 and it works pretty well as an monitor. If I could make one suggestion for the DP-in going forward, it would be to add USB functionality to the POGO pins, this way we could use the keyboard and touchpad on whatever we connect it to. Samsung's pen is definitely better, mainly because it doesn't require an active Bluetooth connection.
Just ordered one on Amazon UK. The ability to use it as both a high-end tablet & monitor is very useful and relatively unique. In fact, the last tablet with the display-in feature was Lenovo's very own Yoga Tab 13 from 2021.
The ability to use the tablet as a monitor for a PC is kinda goated, but i havent seen that much demos of this use case, would be cool to see if a local bestbuy bas it on display to try out the software on this.
so sir with do you think about the ESOE TouchPad keyboard case with a Magnetic keyboard that already has the Mouse on the keyboard please tell me what your opinion is on this case thanks
You didn't mention it but one of the selling points of this device was that one of the 2 UBS C ports had video in. I saw someone saying it couldn't make it work. I wonder if you could test it to see if it works with a laptop or other tablet as a USB C monitor
I actually had to check my battery on my phone to see if it was on low batt cause the lenovvo tab was so dim. Im glad they are in the space of tabs to push samsung. I will keep a close eye on lenovo tabs but for bow ill stick with my s9 ultra
❤ thank you so much. Something I cannot find is a detailed video on using the Pen 3 on the Lenovo Tab Extreme Android device. Sidebar menu and icons, what do they do and how do you use them?
so in the unit box, are the pen and the keyboard folio included? another inquiry is whether is it recommended for notetaking or any such activities when we compare it with other tabs such as iPad Air or Xiaomi Pad 6? I need a tablet only for productivity purposes and I find this one to be a better tablet compared to any other Android tablet worth this price. ... Is there a possible way to buy this internationally since it hasn't been released yet in my country for a good price
Some adobe apps, yes. But they are mobile apps through the play store, the same apps that are available on Android phones through the playstore, they aren't full versions like on a windows pc, but they still do a good job.
I once had a moto X pure edition, a google left child, and was taken over by lenovo. I bought the moto X bcause of the google updates, however, lenovo software updates is just suck, from then on, i never want to pirchase lenovo brand gadget. I dont trust this company tbh, but i hope they xhanged, and any of you have digferent vood experience, please enlighten me, i teally want to like their product.
Planning to use this with the keyboard as mainly a rdp device to my home desktop and work desktop. I wanted something lightweight and long battery life, but also wanted a heavy duty workstation as I do software development. I figured having a setup where I can have the best of both worlds
No Android tablet is worth paying near $1,000 for it, with the exception of perhaps Samsung. If you're going to spend that kind of money on something like that, you're better off getting a Surface Pro, iPad Air, or even an iPad Pro. You get way better functionality and power for the price you are paying.
I can agree with that generally speaking. But there are some people who don't need something like a Windows device. I would take this screen over the screen of a Surface Pro. And I would take the keyboard over the Galaxy Tab S9 ultra keyboard. The keyboard is more reliable and it's sturdier. It's a really really nice keyboard. So I do think there's a good audience for this. And I will give it a good review, even if the audience is very niche. You are right. Plenty of other alternatives for the price. But at the top of Android, this is one of the best
@@AndroidDigest Fair enough. For an Android tablet I suppose I agree with you. Thanks for the review, and to be honest I think you’re one of the most honest reviewers and tech RUclipsrs out there.
I honestly wouldn't recommend any of these unless you really need the huge size if you do id say get the s8 ultra or this if you can find a really good deal But honestly i wouldn't recommend using these as laptop replacements because even with things like samsung dex it's still android I think for most people a regular tablet will be fine
2 ipad pro broke in 3 yrs time and they cannot explain it, so im not buying any apple products from here forward, apple is just garbage but expensive. The reason im here, samsung tab or lenovo, im thinking

This Tablet is My Favorite!!! There is no notch, this is Why I Buy it & Avoid Samsung S9 Ultra!!! Big Ultra Screen for Daily Basic Use!!! Yay 🎄🎆🎇
Glad you're enjoying it.
How was playback specification on netflix does it support HDR10,Dolby Vision?

I think the ability to use this as a monitor was overlooked in the video and would be one of the biggest selling points over the s9 ultra
@@Preston1989ificationspot on. Even by OLED standards, it has an incredible display and also makes a wonderful portable monitor!

For sure

Haven't tried it, not sure if I'll be able to get to that either, I've got a pretty stacked schedule

Works
@@rodrigu3sa do touch and pen work?
They don't on my Yoga 13 when used as a HDMI monitor
I actually had to check my battery on my phone to see if it was on low batt cause the lenovvo tab was so dim. Im glad they are in the space of tabs to push samsung. I will keep a close eye on lenovo tabs but for bow ill stick with my s9 ultra
works
@@_Digitalguy Touch and pen work, but the pen just works much like a mouse, you don't get the pressure sensitivity like on the tablet in Android.

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
Thanks so much! Appreciated. Good profile picture
Thanks for the review Zach, It seems like a tablet seriously worth looking at
It's pretty good overall. One of the better tablets out there
are the magnets strong enough on the keyboard to use it laying down?
Very good review as always, Zach.❤
Thanks so much!
Question:
Was this a Lenovo Extreme tab review or a Tab S9 Ultra review?
😂😂😂
Everyone, buy a Tab S9 Ultra lol
I mean in my review I'm going to make comparisons, especially when the Ultra is the only other competition really out there with that size
When I see something like this I wonder if it might be worth picking up in a year or so on the resale market at half Price.
Well it's already been about a year so. I only see a few on eBay. I see one brand new with the keyboard for $925. So not too bad
so in the unit box, are the pen and the keyboard folio included? another inquiry is whether is it recommended for notetaking or any such activities when we compare it with other tabs such as iPad Air or Xiaomi Pad 6?
I need a tablet only for productivity purposes and I find this one to be a better tablet compared to any other Android tablet worth this price.
...
Is there a possible way to buy this internationally since it hasn't been released yet in my country for a good price
I'm not sure honestly, maybe try ebay? They ship to other countries
Makes me so sad samsung can’t figure out a keyboard case like this..
Yeah. I love it. The Dexnor case for the S9 Plus is the closest thing I've found. The touchpad isn't great. But everything on it is great
Can you install a windows 10/11 on it though?
????
No, not sure why you'd want to. A cool form factor for windows I guess.
Is this device compatible with adobe apps ? I need a good device for editing videos and photos .
Some adobe apps, yes. But they are mobile apps through the play store, the same apps that are available on Android phones through the playstore, they aren't full versions like on a windows pc, but they still do a good job.
is the keyboard full sized though? I have fat fingers and hated the knock off keyboard cases.
The keyboard is pretty close to full size, about 90-95% of the regular size, depending on which laptops you are used to.
Yes. Pretty close to full

Is there overheating issues when gaming?
Not for me, no. But it's still not a gaming powerhouse, but it does well for the money depending on what you pay of course.

Can one use a mouse with this tablet?
Yes. A Bluetooth mouse works great too

Have they fixed Productivity Mode?!
It's still not great in my opinion.
im from india, how can i buy this!??
Not sure, not sure if it's available there. Hopefully someone can let you know though.
LIGHT THE BEAM
Light it up!
The problem with this tablet and all Lenovo tablets will be the lack of software updates
Yeah, I agree, it's a major issue.
7:15 dude ur finger is like ET 😂
For sure, it is, I can't deny it
Best Buy slacking, I thought they would optimized their app for larger screens already.
Yeah the best buy app needs an update 🤣
I honestly wouldn't recommend any of these unless you really need the huge size if you do id say get the s8 ultra or this if you can find a really good deal
But honestly i wouldn't recommend using these as laptop replacements because even with things like samsung dex it's still android
I think for most people a regular tablet will be fine
I agree, most Android tablets aren't the best for laptop replacements. I hear you there.
Does the keyboard cover works with the tab s8 ultra?
Definitely not. Way different sizes and holes and everything. Wouldn't work right at all
@@AndroidDigest bummer, I would love to have a hoovering keyboard for my S8 Ultra...
LOLLLL😂
2 ipad pro broke in 3 yrs time and they cannot explain it, so im not buying any apple products from here forward, apple is just garbage but expensive. The reason im here, samsung tab or lenovo, im thinking
Good luck finding what you want. I covered every Samsung Galaxy Tab I could on my channel!
1st!
Absolutely useless review. ITS MEANINGLESS IF YOU DONT GIVE US ANY SHITTY NUMBERS LOL. WHAT IS THIS BASED ON? A FEELING???
It's based on my actual usage of the device and all the devices I compared it to.
