This Lenovo tablet rocks a 12.7-inch display with high refresh rate support

Our in-depth review of the affordable tablet paints a mostly promising picture, with its 12.7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2,944 x 1,840 pixels being a major selling point. Of course, the IPS panel cannot keep up with the OLEDs and mini LEDs of the world when it comes to black levels and response times, but its 144 Hz refresh rate and pixel density of over 272 PPI certainly allow for a decent viewing experience.

We also found that the Idea Tab Pro's display covers 98% of the sRGB color gamut, which is pretty neat. However, its color accuracy, while decent, is nothing worth boasting about. The same can also be said about the panel's 400-nit peak brightness.

Acceptable everyday performance with no frills

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 SoC, the Idea Tab's performance is respectable, and should be more than enough for folks with casual workloads and media consumption requirements. The 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM allows for acceptable multitasking capabilities as well. 

In our test, Idea Tab Pro tablet's battery life turned out to be pretty good, clocking roughly 17 hours in our video playback test. The included Tab Pen Plus is definitely useful for note takers and doodlers, featuring tilt and 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. Other notable features include a quad speaker setup, 13 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera, Bluetooth 5.3, WiFi 6.

At its current discounted price on Lenovo's official online store, the Idea Tab Pro definitely brings a lot to the table for normal users with a $300 budget, especially when considering the ongoing DRAM and storage crisis courtesy of the AI giants.
