Looks like Lenovo upped the sale price on eBay because of demand. Keep eye on the listing and definitely check out the Lenovo website this will definitely go back down to $229 and that that price it’s hard to beat.

[@KidYoureAHomo]

duh any time you make a video price of what you just said was cheap gooes up

[@I86282]

Price to performance is hard to beat.! And a large tablet is totally awesome. While still technically being in a small form factor. Yeah this is something to consider. Compared to the S8 for sure. What is the most powerful arm SOC at the moment.? And I wonder how it stacks up against APUs, GPUs and CPUs in The same price range. Another really great video. Answering my questions before I can ask them.!👍👍

[@Shuttterbugg]

No it’s not bro, so ur homework and research. A foldable phone is 1600 dollers and an ok tablet is around 700(ther used in a lot of commercial situations ie hospitals check ins automotive etc) 300 is relative to specs your getting. Not bad for a mediated with the amount of cores and rom/ram

[@androxilogin]

Let me know when it's $30. $229 is a rip off for a tablet.

[@surajkumar-pr8xu]

The indepth review is too good, the way tested this and gave your opinion on the product. Love it. Subbed

[@Shwiggieman]

I picked up one last month, and I've been quite pleased with it. I haven't really stretched out gaming-wise...I've mostly used it for Plex viewing and comic reading, so I'm glad to see it getting an emulation review. I've noticed a few instances of slowdown here and there, and I hate how the case keyboard (nice board, crummy case) puts it into desktop mode automatically, but overall I've been pretty pleased with it.

[@Droogie128]

Where did you find the keyboard? I can't find one for it. Reviews say the keyboard case for the regular p11 doesn't work

[@Shwiggieman]

@@Droogie128 I picked up the keyboard pack on the Lenovo website (as well as the Precision Pen 3) when I bought the tablet. It's specifically for the Gen 2 model. They conveniently aren't even listing it on the website anymore. The lack of first- and third-party support is a major reason to consider buying Samsung devices despite the price delta.

[@FrancescoVarrato]

Owning a Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, and having played with the former Lenovo Tab11 Pro, it's incredible how Lenovo pushes for sales and doesn't give a s***t about updates and user experience. It's really the shadow of itself. Good deals are not the machine you buy, Bec in any case you don't have much choice on the OS.

[@maxxxwtf1795]

Lenovo is doing a gr8 job these last years, AIO PCs, Laptops & tablets with very good quality & price, definitely a brand to consider among the best right now

[@Sr.D]

I have the tab p11 pro first gen with the snapdragon and can't be happier, for 200€ it's great, and emulation till PSP and below it's fantastic, great big screen too, writing from the tablet actually

[@tremaineunderwood7322]

Yeah me too, its on another level to the cheap tablets that I used to buy. He is slightly wrong about the GPU though. I just ran Antutu V9.5.6 on here and I get: TOTAL) 720206 CPU) 197297 GPU) 247317 MEM)120087 UX) 155505 The old one (SD870) has a gpu score 7.6% higher. But still I think I paid like $100 more, so this is a very good deal.

[@zombieryder]

Just got this tab... lovin it. Im seeing that most reviewers fail to mention or don't know that this tab has LDAC Bluetooth as well, even Lenovo don't advertise this feature. The one I bought has a 30w charger and I measured it does draw around 29w.

I have the gen 1 (not sure if Pro) and it slowed down SO MUCH after half a year. Apps works fine but only one at a time, it takes a lot to go back home and open a new one. And I had to install an old Netflix apk for it to work. Glad they are significantly upgrading this moedel

Always a great video! Thank you!

[@chrodriguezmarydown]

So glad you made a review about this tablet. I just recently discovered the Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2 myself and I was suprised there weren't any satisfactory reviews out there! Great product for the price. Just ordered one. Still waiting for it to arrive. This review just made me more excited about it! Cloud gaming and emulation on a 2k OLED display for only $229?? Yes please!

[@tendosingh5682]

You mean $400.

[@Robin35758]

$200? Amazon sells this tablet for $339 and Lenovo sells them for $399 but you can get discount codes for first time purchases.

[@codyrap95]

Lenovo is trash, you will see it on the long-term. That's why there's no satisfactory reviews They look good on paper but software optimization is garbage and components are low quality. The only exception is ThinkPad because that division is bought from IBM

[@wanggaard]

@@Robin35758 Yeah I don't see where this $229 price is coming from, it is $294 for the 4gb model on their ebay store.

[@chrodriguezmarydown]

​@@tendosingh5682 No, I mean $229. Lenovo just had a "doorbuster" sale on their website that ended yesterday. Some products were up to 75% off. The Tab Pro Gen 2 (4gb ram version) was $229 during that sale.

Would love 2 know what u do with some of the devices that you don't use much anymore. Been a fan 4 a long time, keep up the content!

[@1frankl0za]

I brought the gen 1 for the wife on 2021 Christmas and she still loves it, the OLED screen is gorgeous it also plays hd content on streaming apps, it went through a few updates when we first got it, and after Android 12 any early issues we had were fix. I got a different tablet the tab 13 that has an HDMI input i thought the idea is awesome but her screen makes me jealous. I wish more tablets include hdmi in, i heard they are coming out with a extreme tablet at CES and also includes hdmi in with the OLED fast refresh screen but price is higher. Hopefully you can get it and review it when it's out, my concern is it uses mediatek 9000 i think, and its equivalent as a sd 8 gen 1 we already on gen 2 and tablet for the asking price they said ag CES ($1,000) it would be out dated. I love your videos keep it up!

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

I thought you can use like every tablet with hdmi in via a HDMI to USB-c/ micro USB adapter. An app does the conversion. At least ETA Prime showed it some time ago where he put an HDMI to micros-USB adapter on older devices and used them as second screen.

[@RR-ho3td]

​@@hassosigbjoernson5738 is that really possible?

[@hammerheadcorvette4]

I've been waiting on the new Pixel Tablet, I really needed a Tablet this winter, but bought a Lenovo IdeaPad instead to get by. I'm probably going to hold off now until the Pixel tablet but would not mind using this as a Drawing Tablet for Inkscape, Krita or GIMP

[@dml479]

Hey picked one of these up refurb on ebay w/ 6gb ram. Love it. Not entirely getting the same performance as you on the aethersx2, do you have settings you like? Or are you going default + changing to vulkan? And finally do you still need to enable vulkan in webview or some other way or is it just working? Thanks, I appreciate any info.

[@SamLam2024]

This looks most promising and for the price you mentioned I would take it immediately. Unfortunately, over here in Germany, I can only get it for about 500€ or more, which is ridiculous.

Same here in the Netherlands, that is just the thing with the EU taxes on electronics in general tho.

Don't feel bad, apparently that was a doorbuster price and is no longer at $229 but $399.

Hello from portugal...between this one and the new xiaomi pad 6..wich one should i go?...thanks ..and keep up the good videos👍👍

[@greenprotag]

Nice performance/specs under $300. My listings are coming up for $294 currently so this would be in direct competition with Cheaper Ryzen APU laptops around $300-350, Something like the AYN odin (I think is $250+), and a little ways off the steamdeck & razer handheld. If you are getting it around $199-220 I suspect that's an excellent price and really beats out something like an RP3+ in the power department. And if you are looking for MORE of a tablet and LESS of a dedicated handheld with built in controls this seems like an amazing device for that purpose.

[@joefell5311]

I hate that by the time these videos post the price shown is nowhere near what's showing on the shop sites. Its starting at $399.99 on Lenovo's website.
