LENOVO TAB P11 PRO

SOMETIMES WE WANT THE versatility and mobility of a tablet, while at other times a laptop is more convenient, to carry out tasks such as compiling long emails or hashing out work.

But who wants to carry around two devices?

Lenovo has the perfect solution, the Tab P11

Pro. With its all-aluminium unibody design, this is one of Lenovo’s thinnest and most powerful Android tablets, boasting 6.9 mm bezels around an outstanding 11.5” OLED display. It delivers vivid 2K resolution along with Dolby-enhanced audio, so it’s perfect for viewing content, at home or while commuting or travelling.

Things get really interesting when you magnetically attach the optional keyboard, that has 18 mm pitch sizes, 3 mm key spaces and 1.3 mm of travel. It transforms the device into a hub of productivity, with the flap-out cover propping the screen up at the desired work-angle.

Then there’s the optional Lenovo Precision Pen 2, a well-weighted stylus that ups the ante if you want to sketch, paint, draw diagrams, or even jot down handwritten notes. It delivers exceptional control and accuracy, achieved via its 4 096 levels of pressure and tilt detection.

It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 G octa-core processor, and has up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. You can expect around 8–10 hours of continuous usage from the 8 600 mAh battery. While its cameras aren’t its strongest suit, the 13 MP primary and

5 MP secondary lenses on the back, and 8 MP ‘selfie’ camera on the front, manage most tasks acceptably.

But we’d strongly recommend paying extra for the keyboard and pen – they turn a good device into a highly useful one.
