Lenovo ThinkTab is built to withstand days of use in desert thanks to its clever battery design
The first-generation ThinkTab impressed us in our review with its feature set. Hardly any other Android tablet on the market offers such a wide range of applications, thanks to two USB-C ports, a 3.5 mm jack, storage expansion via microSD cards, an NFC chip, and an e-compass. The Lenovo tablet starts at around $500.
At 10,200 mAh, the battery capacity is remarkably generous for a device the size of the ThinkTab X11. The 10.95-inch tablet thus performs very well in our battery test and earns top marks. You can find all the test data in our review.
An Android tablet with a removable battery that holds up even in extreme heat
It's not just the battery life that's a highlight of the ThinkTab X11 Gen 1. It’s also the fact that the battery can be swapped out easily without any special tools. This not only makes it simple to replace an aging battery, but also allows Lenovo to operate its mid-range tablet in a “battery-free mode.” Without the battery installed, the ThinkTab X11 is powered exclusively via USB-C, opening up many new use cases.
With an external power supply, the Lenovo tablet is extremely resistant to heat or cold, as batteries are one of the most sensitive components of a tablet when it comes to high and very low temperatures. According to the manufacturer, without the battery, the ThinkTab X11 remains functional even at temperatures between -20 °C and 60 °C. This feature clearly sets the ThinkTab X11 apart from consumer tablets, which quickly reach their limits in heat and cold.
Thanks to its two USB-C ports, however, this mid-range tablet can also be used with peripherals, such as a keyboard or external hard drive, even while charging. Combined with its excellent Class A repairability score in the EPREL database, this creates a complete package that should be very appealing to users focused on longevity.
