- The Lenovo Tab Extreme is Lenovo's answer to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. It's got a 14.5-inch OLED 120Hz display, with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, and a very, very good keyboard case.

I’m actually really impressed with the design of this tablet and keyboard. Made some smart changes on top of what apple did and it’s so nice that you can get it for nothing extra atm
I wish Samsung would release a keyboard case like this already, hopefully they do with the s9
This and the notch is why I'm leaning towards the extreme..I love that floating keyboard
Love that this whole package feels complete with all the accessories. I personally like large screen tablets too, since I use mine for media consumption and drawing. Thanks for the review!
There is another feature you didn’t mention which is one of the biggest reasons I use this tablet daily. It has a source-in connector at the bottom right hand corner, and it works to perfection as a secondary monitor that is also a tablet by itself. Very impressed.
ho-lee-crap! I had no idea that it had this feature! That is awesome!
If Lenovo actually supports this tablet with software updates, it will be great. This has been a sore spot for them compared to Samsung and Apple.
It's good to see the others joining the competition between Samsung and Apple ... I'm really impressed with this one
Very nice, no-nonsense, kind of video. I wish every product review video was like this. No hysterics, no dramatics, just simple review with a straight forward face.
Great video! So detailed as always!
I have a Samsung tab S8 ultra and I've been looking into new tablets but honestly man, Dex is so powerful that i literally use it as my mainly "PC" and the floating Windows style are priceless, so convenient. I hope other companies start working on something similar to Dex soon!
The audio and microphone in S8 Ultra are simply flawless for me.
The floating is also very important to me. Ss tab is such a great tab for learning .
Lenovo already has productivity mode, which is their version of Dex, been a thing for a while...
This looks sleek and nice. And also too, it's great to know the bundle includes both the stylus and the keyboard case. But man, that's such a huge tablet tho.
I just went over to Lenovo to check this out and it took me directly to Best Buy's site. I'm amazed it's under $1k and includes the keyboard and the stylus. Makes it really hard for me to overlook, since I have been looking around for a new laptop. While this wouldn't be an easy lap toy, I can definitely see the many ways I would personally use this. Since I'm a BB member, I might have to pop over there to see if they have any out for review. I can't believe I have never even seen this before!
Great review! You hit all the notes I was interested in and the funny relatable editing you did was top notch 👍
Thanks for another fantastic presentation, Ben!
Your reviews are always so enjoyable.
Man i want every big tablet to use this accessories, the fact that it has that much range of motion using the keyboard case and that kickstand is just perfect for every use, now we just need the keyboard to be backlit
the keyboard is backlit and has two adjustment settings.
@@sandraswift7280 yeah i missed that fact in the video lol, this is the perfect form factor
Man, love the intensity and objectiveness of your presentation style
tablet looks great, would love to have one but
samsungs hardware integration offers such a lovely experience, i can't do any other brand anymore.
Great tablet for home usage😊, thank you, Ben
Looks nice! Might be worth looking at price drops.
Great review. But i will never buy another lenovo device until they improve software support. you will be lucky if you get 1 android upgrade from android 13. I have been let down by lenovo to often now.
It looks great, I'm using the p11 pro 2nd gen. What I like about it is that it's very mobile as it has 11". This screen is very big and wouldn't want to carry this around... Android office apps are getting there, office suite is great. This will be great for many people. Just one snag, Lenovo need to provide software updates. All these features have not be implemented on their other devices. I'm still on Android 12 and this was the same on release. App support needs to move up a gear.
I need this tablet in my life!
I reached out to Lenovo and for the US it will be released on Black Friday in November...wow!
Nice job on your video sir. Lenovo has always been great Going to take a closer look.
It honestly looks like an amazing tablet. That case looks really cool, too. I hate to beat a dead horse, though, but... no headphone jack? On a tablet? Why?!
Especially when the smaller Legion Tab Y700 has one.
+1 No Headphone Jack , No SD Card Slot on a Tablet is a Deal breaker
@blackbriarwolf yeah if sd card is outdated, the tablet does not offer any alternative solution. I don't see any m2 slot in there
@@KisameSempai That's a Good Option too
But nah SD Cards aren't Outdated they were just not updated time to time
UFS SD Cards Provided Speeds more than 230MB/s 4 Years Before from now
But Many Brands didn't Supported the Idea of UFS SD Cards so they could force the users to get higher Storage Variant of Devices at Heavy Prices
The Current Generation of SD Cards (UHS Cards) can Go upto 200MB/s which is Good Enough for 4K Recording and Game Loading
@@adityapathak2046 yeah I don't think sd cards are outdated too. I was replying to the guy saying sd card is outdated. if it really was outdated, phone and tablet manufacturers should provide an alternative to add more storage. they just want you to change your phone more often by removing more and more features with each generation of phones.
Lenovo wow!! ❤❤❤❤❤ one of my device I use daily is the duet 5 chromebook because battery life. Looking forward to the 14.5 tablet.
Wow! 14.5" tablet is quite huge! Really good review for a niche product from Lenovo! I really like how Lenovo can just easily build a large tablet and its accessories for lower pricepoint than Apple and Samsung. My Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 was only 355USD, 47USD keyboard case, 40USD pen. Very good hardware for the price!
Did your tablet gets any update since you bought it?
@@codelessunlimited7701 Yes, in fact a major upgrade was just installed today. It's ZUI 15 15.0.423 which upgraded the tablet from ZUI 14 Android 12 to ZUI 15 Android 13.
Nice review keep up the good work fella
I get why the trackpad gestures might be confusing at fist, but what Samsung and Lenovo are doing is to meemic the Windows gesture navigation, because you are suppose to be using it as a laptop so it makes sense to do it like this, it's much more intuitive
I appreciate youre reviews man
Thank you!
This looks amazing, sadly im hooked with the Samsung notes app, easily share my university notes through all my devices is a must
Great keyboard and video in support makes this very tempting over the ultra. Just needs a DeX mode
How can it be this thin and have a 12000mAh battery! But you would expect it to last longer with that huge battery! The screen looks amazing and the speakers sound so good! The only thing that makes no sense to me is the lack of a headphone jack!
On point with your assessment Ben for whom are the audience for this Lenovo tablet✌👍
@blackbriarwolf I own Bluetooth earbuds and headphones! That is not the point! I want the option of having a headphone jack, whats wrong with that!?
Yeah, they could have easily provided headphone jack but every company is following the footsteps of apple these days.
the keyboard is amazing..if only it comes in 11 inch factor I might get one.
Great content, thank you
Amazing, amazing review. My question is: did you pair them with any subwoofers? If yes, then which one?
Thanks.
Awesome review!
Hi John!
I wish these tablets can be a Video out device, it would add so much more life span to all of these tablets.
It does have video out.
Excellent review
You can force resize every apps on Developer options.
Thanks for a great review as always Ben, been eyeing this since it got announced but ultimately going for a laptop instead. Just curious tho, does this particular tablet have pc mode or productivity mode like in the p12 pro?
No specific PC mode. Nothing like Samsung dex. You just use android but can open up to 10 apps in floating windows
Thank you so much for this review. I was wondering if you've had anything nee you found on the tablet... Also how is it for outside use like in the sun compared to s9 ultra
This is what we need. Other reviewers just said bs stuff.
great review
The dove walking at the balk be like "oops i'm sorry" then proceeds to walk out of the frame 😅
i was the guy who thaught the ipad pro is unmatched in tablet world but after using it, it's really not worth his price at all your find yourself like using an iphone with giant screen
I think the gesture is made like that because they adhere to windows gestures, and honestly I think it's okay since you're are using the tablet at that specific time as a computer, so makes sense... 9:16
This is a really cool tablet.
great, you are someone who demo zui system
Can't agree more. The fundamental purchasing question is "do I need to draw / write digitally frequently enough to justify a big device".
Slick 👌
Lenovo, I'm in love❤
When are we getting an Android tablet with the highest current cpu?
That's a nice sized tablet. I have a ten inch Lenovo tablet. One day I'll like a bigger one.
Wow, cool keyboard, good Lenovo
i have p12 pro.... but i should look forward to this..
not seeing anywhere selling this with the keyboard included. Was that only a very limited time sale or deal to include the keyboard?
On Lenovos website
Thank you for the review sir can you compare it samsung tab s8 ultra 😀 thank u sir
You forgot to mention that you can connect this as an external touch monitor. I have the yoga tab 13 which al ost does that (minus the touch) but using the app called super display you can do that. My USB and mini HDMI ports are flimsy on my tab. I wonder if this newer tablet is more firm with the two ports. At least if one dies, the other can still be used to charge.
Also you forgot to mention fast charging, which is a feature I've come to love from my OnePlus phones and miss it terribly when I don't have it.
So battery life becomes a little less of a problem with fast charging.
Without a notch even!
Great video, always good to see innovation in the tablet space. Though in this case, I can't help but feel that Windows 11 on ARM would have been a better choice for the OS than Android 13.
Great video as usual. Does this tablet support a video out? What is the charging speed? Is the charger Included in the box? Doe sit Support LTE or 5G?
It supports video out, the charger is included, I don’t believe you can use a SIM card with this tablet, only an SD card.
For how such a behemoth this tablet is and also for 1000$ price it should have a minimum of 20000mAh battery, ideally 30000.
Eagerly waiting for your huawei mate x3 review. Please hurry up ben
he already did a fast review.
@soheil adam not asking for hands on bro. Review and first impressions are different
I love it!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Looks amazing. I prefer Android comparisons...non-Apple guy.
I'll stick with s8 ultra. Especially with s9 ultra coming out. Should be great deals available soon. Combined with trade ins too
How many years of software support will this tablet have?
Its the best of the S8 Ultra & iPad!
Problem is OS updates are promised but not delivered. If you are ok with it, go with Lenovo. Such a shame as they have good hardware but bad software support even if it is promised.
Hmm
An evacuator of that wrongly parked BMW car has arrived at the end of program!!!
Just got an s9 ultra that kind of regret it because that lenovo magic keyboard looks great.
I wish tab s8 ultra had such a case
weight size and screen makes it a great device.
Will you review Mate X3 ?
Yup soon
I disagree with the trackpad gestures. Coming from a laptop user the trackpad gesture scheme is universal in Windows and Linux, it came off natural for me.
Lenovo is brilliant to come up with a keyboard and cover, and then stylus pen package like this. So voting for this 😂, no matter what samsung think of me
someone legit made a magic keyboard for an adroid system? holy crap, i want this.
edit:
Samsung take some notes dang it. I also somewhat hope that there's going to be like a windows oriented system for these types of devices. Like the ROG flow for example, perhaps they could make like a clean design of it like the Lenovo tab extreme or the ipad pro along with the magic keyboard.
For content consumption, yes. But for anyone who wants to use the thing for work, Win11 would have been perfect. But this should give Samsung a run for their money for anyone who wants to save a little money on a media consumption device.
Can you use it as external monitor? Hdmi in?
The Lenovo Tab Extreme cost 1299 euros here in Belgium (Europe) and no keyboard case and pen included :/
That makes no sense. I really thought in EU, it's going to be €900 since US is selling the tablet for $1099, including the stylus pen, USB cable and adapter, and the keyboard.
Yass exactly like that but let it be able to fold as well.
Nice
I've had my fair share of lenevo tablets..I won't even consider them if they don't improve their support! You would be extremely lucky to get any software updates on one of these whereas my samsung gets updates every 3 months..this also means that you will have to live with any of the bugs it comes with (cause of no updates) and well, their software sucks..other than lenevo's taskbar, you get almost nothing! Just extreme basic stock android! And I had their flagship product back then! Used it for over 2 years and I am not going back..
Honor pad 8 still good friend of mine has it
can you charge from the case, I don't see a usd port
Where can you even buy it? I looked everywhere online and never seen anything called Lenovo Tab Extreme.
How is it for reading on apps like Kindle?
Hi can i ask if lenovo tab extreme can unable macros in template? Thank you
You bear an uncanny resemblance to DJ Bobo :D
You should review the Yoga I9
❤
How many years of updates will it be supported? Samsung is offering 4 OS updates and 5 years of security updates.
This seem nice
Oh my... I wish Samsung offered that type of keyboard accessory rather than the one they offered with the Tab S8 Ultra. S8 Ultra's book cover keyboard is very flimsy and should always be used on a desk.
What was the name of that game you mentioned? My son would love a tractor game like that.
does it have a wacom digitizer?
Hope they start making foldable tablets
There are a couple of foldable tablets on the Market, Asus & Lenovo, Asus is a 17 inch unfolded, and the Lenovo is 16 inch unfolded, both come with Microsoft.
The keyboard is the best thing about it
I think Large Tablets, their better camera should be the front camera. Always. The back camera should be basic for documents etc.
Is this in Birmingham?
good design, with that big screen, I would not buy the keyboard case.
just bring low profile mechanical keyboard.
because its more for work and sit a long time.
not for daily mobility.
Apple center stage is already a copy. My 10+ years old Logitech camera had that feature.
Erm, that split screen thing and pop up windows. How is that an iOS copy. Samsung been doing that YEARS before Apple. And Lenova been working on that for quite some time. I think they were doing a kind of pop up before Apple as well.
