Great review, thanks. Which stylus were you using on this tablet. I’m looking for a small size tablet for reading mainly notes and work based stuff. Would this be suitable e cas fo the M9

[@terrytaylor6740]

I watched this review and others and still bought the M9 because of the low price, and I was planning to use it mostly for reading. I have been EXTREMELY pleased with its performance. It seems that most reviewers compare it to an iPad. That's like comparing a Volkswagen to a Mercedes. I believe the M9 punches above its weight even for causal viewing of videos.

[@terrytaylor6740]

@couchpotato-4480

[@terrytaylor6740]

I continue to be very pleased with this tablet. It is in constant use and I have no serious complaints. I don't think there are as many choices for accessories such as cases as what there would be for a Samsung, but that is not a serious issue. I use it for reading email, the bible, Kindle books, the Wall Street Journal and an occasional movie or TV video. Considering that it is only a 9" tablet, the resolution is fine.

[@terrytaylor6740]

P.S. - This size is perfect for portability It's roughly the size of a paperback book.

Great video as always. I am trying to decide between getting the M9 or the P11. I mainly want to use it for reading comics, books videos and so on. I was wondering if you've tried Kuro Reader for Comics. I have Cover (Comic book Reader) on my Surface pro but after a while, it begins to feel heavy. This is why I'm considering the M9 instead of the P11. Have you ever tried this software and would it be ok for reading instead of using it on something as large as the P11? Thank you!

[@FishBeeProductions]

M9 would definitely feel lighter just not as good of screen and performance. iPad mini 6 is probably the best small option but quite a bit more expensive.

You need a tablet with true pen support. If you're on a budget and need an accurate tablet to physically write with the stylus, get the s6 lite 2022. There's no cheaper tablet with true pen support than that.

Will the 3/32 be adequate for.multimedia and video calls for. next 2-3 years?

Absolutely not

[@deleqtronica8733]

If you're asking if it's usable, than answer is yes. I had a tab a7 with 3gb of ram and for multimedia is was perfectly fine. You just have to remember to completely close apps if you don't want it to bog down. That being said, buying a device with only 3gb of ram in 2023 isn't really the best idea, I'd grab the 4/64

Helpful review! Just bought one during Lenovo sale. Tempted to get the 11.2 also but one new device is sufficient for now and I trust Lenovo will have future sales! The smaller is more of a need than the larger as I already have a 10” iPad Air. This will replace an older Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8” SM-T350 which has become nearly unresponsive. Only on Android 7, last patched 6 years ago! Has only 1.5 GB RAM! 😂

[@deleqtronica8733]

Good on you for getting all the life you can from the Tab-A, more people need to do this instead of constantly upgrading.

[@majkus]

Barnes and Noble is end-of-lifing their Nook reading tablets from 2013 and earlier this month (May 2024), as they introduce a Nook-branded Lenovo M9. It looks like I won't be too unhappy 'upgrading' to this tablet (B&N is giving a $30 upgrade coupon). A loss of screen resolution from the 2012 Nook HD+, but it will be nice to have an up-to-date Android tablet.

[@NR-nf1il]

It's hard to find a good tablet below 10 inch. I just bought Lenovo P11 Pro and I'm going to return it as it's too big for me and too expensive considering my needs. I just want to read articles, blogs and Wikipedia, sometimes watch YT and use simple apps. For reading, smaller device is more convenient. Moreover, I don't want to overpay for something I'll use maybe a few hours a week. I only wish M9 had better resolution... That's why I take M10 into consideration as well.

[@deleqtronica8733]

If your budget allows it, keep the P11 Pro. You pay more out of pocket but it'll last you much longer. The user experience is also much more enjoyable. The only purchases I regret are the budget devices I compromised on, because I usually end up buying what I wanted originally anyways. Like they say, buy it nice or buy it twice.

[@davidjones6969]

The new update sucks, the navigation is smaller now (triangle, circle, block) and it is slower to process now when hitting the block). And the new bar with apps next to the navigation is too close where you may hit an app instead of the navigation arrow or block. But it is a nice tablet bought directly from the company with more umph.
