Reviews for the Lenovo Tab M9

82.2% Lenovo Tab M9 review: Intermediate-sized tablet with GPS tracking | Notebookcheck
The Lenovo Tab M9 is a lightweight tablet in a somewhat unusual 9-inch format. This makes it ideal for anyone who wants the largest possible screen in the lightest and most compact chassis possible. Since it even has GPS, it should be a great deal for around US$150, right?
60% Lenovo Tab M9 review: Spend your money on something else
Source: Android Police English
If we’re being honest, it’s hard to fully recommend the Lenovo Tab M9. Typically, there is a use case for every device. Still, this budget tablet doesn’t undercut the cheapest options on price, doesn’t outperform comparable options, and suffers some frustrating technical issues that are enough to make you swear off budget devices altogether. Yes, the battery is big enough to get you by, and the Reading Mode does impress, but you can find bigger batteries and more immersive reading modes on other tablets that are at least close when it comes to prices. All of this to say, there are better tablets out there that are certainly worth your time more than this one, and for not all that much more cash, either.

ARM Mali-G52 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. ARM states that the G52 series is 30% faster and 15% more efficient compared to the G51 series on the same process node.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


77.46%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
