Lenovo Tab Extreme Review - EXTREME-LY Good But Hard to Find

[@andrewmarcdavid]

**Well its finally back on sale! Lenovo Tab Extreme (Lenovo.com): lenovo.vzew.net/0ZYVeN

[@ahmedalsadi0010]

I like the idea of floating tablet keyboard for laptop replacement

[@Tellurdogisayhello]

Really wish samsung would've stole this keyboard case for the tab s9 ultra...the floating tablet is SO much better.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Agreed 👍

[@silvatre609]

Does it run at full 120Hz when connected as external monitor to your Macbook? Is HDR supported in that mode? Thanks!

[@peterjackson6228]

Excellent video and review. Really like where Lenovo are going with their tablets

[@marioneutel4360]

That is the most amazing tablet i have ever seen. Better than a lot of laptops that are around on the market. Good cam, great speakers and mics. I am amazed...

[@AdrianMurray]

I am totally surprised with the cameras as you mentioned. They are really good.

[@ilhammohd3077]

This compare to glxy tab s9 ultra ? Which one better?

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

​@@ilhammohd3077Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is overall the superior device for performance, higher peak brightness, 4 years of Android updates, Dex support, etc. The only 2 things that Lenovo wins at is Dolby Vision support and DisplayPort IN support so you can use the tablet WIRED as a portable monitor whereas on the Samsung tablet you can only do that wirelessly.

[@skyzsolstice]

using the tablet as a display is amazing feature, never seen another tablet do this before

[@AdmiralBison]

Jokes aside the Lenovo tab extreme 14" actually has display port in, so it's a tablet that can double as a portable monitor.

The 2021 Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 has a Micro HDMI IN port.

[@trujacyroslin]

I enjoyed the review. Thank you!

[@jimmymac2292]

Been waiting for this one. I love my tab s8 plus. But I may upgrade to this as the bigger screen and video-in for my steamdeck seems extremely benefical. Hopfully Lenovo competes with Samsung on updates.

[@AdrianMurray]

I use this with my Steamdeck and Rog Ally and it is amazing. The display is very clear an the gaming experience is so fun. Such a unique feature that no other tablet has.

[@Cons2911]

Hmm.. steamdeck..instead of my monitor..might be fit for me.. seems cheaper than Samsung..is there a smaller size for tHis? 14 might be too big to carry around

[@AdrianMurray]

@@Cons2911 they have smaller tablets but no other tablet has the display in feature.

[@Cons2911]

@@AdrianMurray so they don’t have like what Samsung has, similar tablets just smaller screen (and battery if course)

[@AdrianMurray]

@@Cons2911 not really. Samsung's products are more clearly separated from their budget lines. Lenovo has the P11 series of tablets, but they are not a smaller version of the Tab Extreme which is unfortunate. They look similar, but the specs are completely different; they are budget class tablets.

Great review. I think the lighting is a little dim, maybe you should add a ceiling light and use a dispersion light box to make it soft.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks for the tips!

[@AdrianMurray]

I so appreciate this review, Andrew. I have been watching this tablet for some time now and I am so happy I got my hands on it for the deal that was given by Lenovo. Andrew, I think Lenovo has dropped the ball on PR for this amazing tablet. It's not in enough hands of youtubers and the buzz is just not there in comparison to what Samsung's S9 series is doing right now. This tablet is fast, keyboard is extremely functional, and the display in feature is totally unique. I'm glad I purchased this one.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

I agree! Thanks!

[@rolins3279]

As a Galaxy Tab S user, the only stuff I envy this Lenovo Tablet, the 2 USB-C ports, and especially the keyboard (the design, not necessarily the trackpad that looks average). On the other hand, $1200 for a Dimensity 9000, 2 years of Android update and a very very average software, nope ❌. 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

[@BigDaddy_BHJ1977]

Compare this to the s9 ultra

[@Tellurdogisayhello]

Very surprised to see the mediatek outperform the snapdragon chip!

[@AdrianMurray]

Me too. I have the S8 Ultra and just by user experience alone I can feel the Tab Extreme is more snapper than the S8 Ultra.

[@roseforyoubabe]

@@AdrianMurray snapdragon 2 chip is better in the galaxy 9 tablets

[@RomulusArtoria]

my favorite tablet so far. I'm mising certain features that Samsung has spent years developing and baking into their products, but man, this magic keyboard style package is so worth it.

[@p.c.h.6721]

What features is the Lenovo tablet missing compared to the Samsung Tab S9? Please tell me...

[@RomulusArtoria]

@@p.c.h.6721 some samsung ecosystem specific features, like being able to take/make phone calls thru the tablet. Texting from tablet (which can be done via Google messages as well). Some of the goodlock features like forcing different aspect ratio and orientation on apps (so for example, being able to open Instagram in portrait mode but in landscape orientation). Being able to use classic 3 button navigation bars without the new app trays, change location of the clock, easier manipulation of multi windows, etc.

[@LazyPCRehab]

@@p.c.h.6721 Samsung has spent a lot of time and money putting a certain level of polish on their UI. Samsung also has an entire ecosystem that almost rivals that of Apple.

Can we use microsoft office as laptop? or Can it be as a laptop instead ?

[@rafaelperez9652]

Wow!! This is such a beautiful bundle with so many pluses for an android tablet from Lenovo. I'm liking everything about the Lenovo Tab Extreme from the gorgeous 3K OLED display to the excellent quality of the front facing camera, the clear quality of the internal mic array, the excellent quality of the rear camera, the fast 68W charger, the keyboard, the touch pen and 8 speaker system from JBL! Unheard of Andrew!! The battery life is another plus!!! I really cannot find any negatives for this product and I think you have a real WINNER here Andrew!!! I am really blowing away with this! Unfortunately, it's no longer available in new condition at Best Buy as I just checked so your best bet is to get it directly from Lenovo where you can get an additional $100 off plus $10 if you also sign up for phone text. This only applies if this is your first order from Lenovo however. Thank you Andrew for this Fabulous review!!! 👏👍😁

[@Tellurdogisayhello]

Biggest negative is that lenovo is owned by the chinese, which is a downside. I'd buy this as a media consumption device, but I'd never put any banking apps or even things like amazon accounts and such.

[@hpsn5108]

Also update promises are lie. Their last year flagship tablet has not got single android os update and the timeline has been delayed 3 times already(9 months). Even after that it does not look like they have any plans to deliver update.

[@p.c.h.6721]

Thanks for all that information!

[@p.c.h.6721]

@@Tellurdogisayhello I have a foldable phone from China, it’s a Vivo, I’ve been using it for everything for a couple of years, including banking apps, not a problem whatsoever. I know other people with Chinese phones and they’ve never had a problem, not for a second I believe the Chinese government or some Chinese hacker is going to steal my money, imagine how disastrous it would be for ALL Chinese manufacturers, no one would buy their products.

External display port is an interesting feature.. do I need to install any software and configure anything to window/mac/chromeOS laptop to make it work? This would be a tablet that I am interested, Would be a great travel/ coffee shop remote work companion. Thanks for highlighting the feature Andrew!

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Works right out of the box

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

You need to mention the speed of each USB-C port. That's very important.

[@yttean98]

good review straight to the point. The main drawback of a typical tablet most likely this one as well is LACK of future support of its firmware, e.g. Android 13 to 14 and no further? Chromebook is better value as its OS has better future upgrade path.

[@ashhabmahdi]

Hey Andrew love my Lenovo as well. Were you able to get the performance mode activated on yours. I thought that was a feature for all Lenovo tabs.

[@odessastepsmag]

How would you compare that keyboard to Apple Magic Keyboard?

[@andrewmarcdavid]

It's more spacious and a bit more comfortable to type on

[@rng1160]

Hi thanks for the very detailed review. I want to know, if I connect this tablet to my computer using the display port IN, will I have access to the touchscreen and/or keyboard? This is quite important to me. Thanks!

Very cool Andrew! Such a better value than an iPad pro

[@ccroy2001]

I have a Surface Go3 table which is more of a small PC that can be a tablet. The biggest pro of Android tablets or iPad's is battery life. It can be 2x or 3x my Surface.

[@accrogaming8392]

Hello, I would like to know if we can watch KZbin videos or watch films and series on Netflix, premium video and others and 4k resolution, thank you in advance for your response

[@LazyPCRehab]

Yes, this tablet supports 4K playback on those platforms.

[@UrdnotAkongo]

1.5kg (weight minus power supply) is a hefty tablet! My 14.5" Zenbook Pro Duo with dual screens, Intel i9, and dedicated 4060 GPU is 1.7kg, almost negligible amount heavier relative to how much of a powerhouse it is over the tablet. I thought one of the main saving graces of a tablet was weight and portability? 1.5kg tablet, might as well just get a laptop at that point

[@tonyb408]

Any reason to switch from the S8 Ultra? I do like this keyboard design better as the Samsung one is flimsy.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

The keyboard accessory for the Tab Extreme is much better than the Samsung offering. It is more sturdy and premium in my opinion. I ordered a Tab S9 Ultra with Keyboard for comparison. Stay tuned that will come as soon as I receive the unit.

[@geneobrien8907]

Andrew, can you check on availability? I've been looking for months, on BB and Lenovo sites, it is constantly listed aa unavailable. I've called Lenovo and they cannot provide any info on the device's availability, same with BB. If you could find out anything, it'd be appreciated.

The keyboard cover fails for me considering it leaves all the glass exposed and the pen. But the overall Lenovo tablet is nice but I still prefer my tab s8 ultra.

[@user-sk4gj3ji3o]

Well we will have to compare it with godzilla in order to come to a conclusion. One of the core issue with windows is that they are made for coding .The media centric approach is way beyond than their immigination. Moreover app are not well optimized .though you try to use browser some how it lack in terms of handling the content . Battery backup is another concern .12 to 24 hoursback up is expected specially when you are traveling. The another issue with the glossy display is that when you are outside reflection make the user experience worst. Keyboard for example backligh and full size add value . In short we looking for a complete package that will justify the user experience.

Hey Andrew, Have you ever heard of the ROBO&KALA TABLET, it's SUPPOSEDLY got the SD 8 Gen 3 SOC, but I don't know how because, has SD even released the SD 8 Gen 3 Yet? I thought it was going to come out in October 2023? Curious to know if it's really what they say it is!

[@michaeldendulk2230]

8cx Gen 3 chip, not the same as the 8 Gen 3. the cx range is Qualcomm's laptop CPU range, which they would like to get to a level to compete with Apple's M chips, eventually... The 8cx Gen 3 is still made on 5nm.

[@L_Freya1]

It should work I think, but any chance you can confirm if you connect a Switch over USB-C or Steam Deck it would be picked up as an external display? It works that way with actual portable external displays with USB-C input, so I would think this would be the same (with the added bonus of also being a full standalone tablet), but confirmation would be nice! Also wish it were in stock, haven't seen it yet for purchase.

Very very interesting tablet from Lenovo. I am blown away by the display, the keyboard, and the camera! Personally the line between these tablets and ultrabooks/convertibles like the YOGA books becomes even more blurred.
