How Good is the Lenovo Tab M11? A Review of the Mid-Range Tablet with a 90Hz Display

In this video, I review the Lenovo Tab M11 aka Lenovo Tab K11 in certain regions, a mid-range tablet that features an 11-inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Helio G88 processor, and at least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. I also test the Lenovo Tab Pen, a stylus that supports 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, and the immersive reading mode, which lets you switch between chromatic and mono views. The Lenovo Tab M11 is a learning-focused tablet that comes with Android 13 and promises at least two major OS updates and security patches through January, 2028. Watch this video to find out if the Lenovo Tab M11 is worth buying. #lenovotabm11 #review #tablet #lenovotabk11

Just got my hands on the Lenovo Tab M11, and it's a game-changer having such a great battery life with Helio G88 SoC. The sleek design, powerful performance, and budget-friendly price tag make it the perfect daily companion.

I bought this tablet for my mother in law. There were basicly two options (in my region) within the budget of 200e and adequate specs and software/ security update support. I never buy anything that isn't supported for at least 4 years. Final decision was made between this and A9+. A9+ would have had better software optimization, but this one had the pen.

[@basv4042]

Hey man, Do you think think tablet should be fine for just autodesk skechbook or other sketching apps to make easy sketches? Im an architecture major student and just want something to draw quick skethces on without using sketching paper all the time.

[@typicaltechlad]

Hey, I think it will be fine, the stylus works good with the tablet, maybe not the most accurate or responsive, but good enough to be able to work with it and get writing/sketching done, for me it was a joy to use the stylus and the 90Hz display helps with making things ‘smoother’

[@user-of3wz1sh2e]

if you want to draw small things, the pen is not suitable in my opinion. Other devices have a much finer resolution. The pen also has no button to quickly delete elements. There are probably other pens from Lenovo that are compatible with a button, but these also have to be purchased.

[@alexeyfronin]

Good review, what do you think is better, redmi pad se or Tab m11?

[@typicaltechlad]

Thank you! That depends on your needs I guess, raw specs wise they are quite similar, with the Redmi pad SE having a slightly better chip with the Snapdragon 680 and a slightly bigger battery. But Lenovo tablets really shine in the productivity area so if that was your main use then I would go for the Lenovo (the M11 has dedicated stylus support whereas the Pad SE doesn’t), both tablets are good for their price

Lenovo M11 is better, the processor has newer cores.

Will this tablet be good mainly for watching movies/series or will I find something better to watch for up to $200? I mainly care about the display and that it doesn't jam

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, if your main purpose is just to watch movies then there may be better and cheaper options, for example the HONOR Pad X9, which is around £40/£50 cheaper and has a display with higher refresh rate (120Hz) and is 0.5 inches bigger, I’ll be dropping a comparison video of them 2 tablets very soon so watch out for that 👍

[@edeeedee9153]

for watching movies or simple use which screen is good lenovo m11 or lenovo tab p11 from ppi which one is comfortable for eyes ?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, I’m assuming you’re talking about the Gen 2 Tab P11, if so, the differences are marginal, the P11 has a 0.5 inches bigger screen (11.5 inches) and PPI of 204 and 120Hz, whereas the Tab M11 is 11 inches at a PPI of 206 and 90Hz, so very small difference between the two tablets and P11 will be a tiny bit ‘smoother’ due to the higher refresh rate

[@amitkapersaud9907]

@@typicaltechlad do you have to enable that feature through settings or is it already built in? Also do you need the Lenovo pen rather than a stylus in order for it to write more efficiently.

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, using the Lenovo pen it is enabled by default, unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to test it with a 3rd party stylus, but I imagine you would get the best performance with the Lenovo pen only so would be best to use that (normally comes bundled with the tablet)

[@user-of3wz1sh2e]

The tablet itself is great for the price, but I'm not happy with the pen. I can't understand your positive assessment regarding writing. Large font as in the video works well but if you write a little smaller, for example notes in a PDF file, the pen is absolutely not convincing. For comparison, I have a Dell 2in1 and an S6 Lite 2022 For me, the main application is taking notes, which is why I unfortunately have to send the device back - as I said, apart from the pen, I am satisfied.

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, yes for more finer text I guess the pen isn’t very good, but maybe the Tab Pen Plus would work better? Also could zooming in on the document and writing the text not be a work around? Apologies, I should have highlighted that in my video
