ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE FIRST GENERATION LENOVO TAB P11 (2021)
Before knowing the Lenovo Tab P11 users’ opinion about the tablet, it is necessary to review its technical characteristics from a more objective point of view. By way of summary, the commitment of the Asian firm is based on a versatile and economical device that can be used at home by the whole family. One of its highlights is its integration with Google Kids Space, a safe portal for the youngest to have fun and learn. The 11-inch screen with a 2,000 x 1,200 pixels resolution also offers good multimedia performance, especially for resolution, since the maximum brightness may seem somewhat low(400 nits). The panel is of the IPS type with TÜV Rheinland certification to reduce the emission of blue light, which helps to avoid fatigue and sleep problems.
Specific accessories, such as the Precision Pen 2 stylus and a keyboard case, can be purchased for more professional uses. The tablet is compatible with the Microsoft productivity suite and can be used with the Lenovo Smart Charging Station 2 accessory to charge it vertically while watching your content. As for its performance, it has a Snapdragon 662 processor and 6 GB of RAM. It is not the fastest combination, but it will be enough for most of the uses we want to give it if we do not prioritize consuming games. Likewise, it has Android 10 out of the box, although it has already been updated to the eleventh version and will likely do so to 12.
Another of its great features has to do with the sound section, made up of four Dolby-certified speakers. Added to the tablet’s compatibility with reproducing HD content on Netflix thanks to the Widevine certification, we find ourselves before one of the best options for multimedia enjoyment. The company promises up to 15 hours of playback. It has a 7,500 mAh battery and 20 W fast charging with a charger included. The 8-megapixel webcam allows for some sharp video conferencing and a background blur feature for improved privacy, though don’t expect much. The same happens with the rear camera, 13 megapixels, whose focal length has not been specified by the manufacturer.
