Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Unboxing: Big Tablet, Small Price

0:00
so for the second video in a row we're
0:02
doing something a little bit different
0:03
in front of me I have the new Lenovo
0:06
Idea Tab Pro and after spending some
0:08
time with the Legion Tab Gen 3 and
0:11
really enjoying it uh Lenovo offered to
0:13
send this one over for us to kind of
0:15
check out and it's a bigger tablet with
0:16
a higher resolution screen but not quite
0:19
geared at gaming uh and the price tag is
0:22
really really interesting so let's uh
0:24
hop in the box and see what this bad boy
0:25
is about
0:30
okay so this device is interesting first
0:33
from a price standpoint so uh I think it
0:36
it retails it's been on sale literally
0:38
since it showed up uh it retails around
0:41
$400 normally uh there's a couple
0:43
different specs best Buy uh right now
0:45
packs the um um 856 model so 8 gigs of
0:50
RAM 256 of internal storage lenovo sells
0:53
the 8128 version and right now the 8128
0:56
version is a little less than 300 bucks
0:58
i've seen it as low as like 260 270 um
1:01
and then Best Buy's is on sale for like
1:03
60 bucks off so it's like $340 so pretty
1:06
in intriguing price points there i mean
1:08
we're talking pretty entry level um
1:11
dollars and cents but um some really
1:13
good features now don't be um confused
1:17
by pro on the on the lid here um that
1:20
was one thing when I saw it I was like
1:22
"Oh wow pro." And then I saw the price
1:23
tag i'm like That doesn't seem to make
1:26
any sense um this is definitely one of
1:28
those situations where they're using pro
1:30
as just a a word I guess um because it
1:33
does have the uh Demenity 8300 so it's
1:36
you know MediaTek's like last gen um
1:39
high-end chip so it's not it's not
1:41
sluggish by any means it shouldn't be
1:42
anyway i haven't really messed with it
1:44
but um it also is not going to be like
1:46
cutting edge like that Demenity 9400 uh
1:49
looks to be a beast i've not used a
1:51
device with it but it looks like it's a
1:53
monster uh this is not that but you're
1:55
also getting a they're calling it a 3K
1:56
display i pulled up the stats because
1:58
the resolution is so strange it is 2944
2:03
by840 so to put that in reference to
2:06
something like 4K 4K is uh 38 do my math
2:11
here 3840 by 2160 um so if 2160 is the
2:16
vertical on 4K this one's 1840 so you're
2:18
within 300 pixels there and then it's a
2:21
16x10 display I'm pretty sure and so you
2:24
know yeah you're losing a couple hundred
2:26
pixels this way but you're approaching
2:28
4K but they're labeling it as 3K so nice
2:30
high-res display for sure 400 nits is
2:33
what it's listed at um we already talked
2:36
about processor and all that kind of
2:37
stuff so yeah you got some cameras all
2:39
that kind of stuff but quad speakers so
2:40
I'm hoping for some good speakers here
2:42
the uh the smaller um Legion Tab uh Gen
2:46
3 the 8 inch device um actually had
2:49
really fantastic speakers um this one
2:52
does come with a pen um it is not a USI
2:55
pen from what I can tell uh the stuff
2:57
I've read and it it does look a little
2:59
bit different um and it looks like this
3:01
one will attach on the back
3:03
magnetically yeah see um it attaches
3:07
back there but it doesn't charge back
3:08
there so it's just a place to hold it I
3:10
guess um again these are some things
3:12
that I'm looking at going should we say
3:13
this thing's pro i don't know um they
3:16
are making also a keyboard case that
3:18
will come with this thing or not come
3:19
with it I'm sorry but be available for
3:21
it uh 150 bucks or something it is not
3:24
available yet uh but this thing does
3:26
charge with USB type-C um just you know
3:29
feels like a pen so we'll see how that
3:31
thing works uh see what kind of charger
3:33
we get
3:34
here survey says 45 watt huh so the the
3:39
Legion tab u came with a 68 watt charger
3:42
so I mean 45 watts is plenty but again I
3:45
keep going back to this whole pro
3:47
moniker on the uh um on the box i'm like
3:51
you know sometimes I wish they wouldn't
3:53
use that terminology unless the thing is
3:55
pro like for pro it should come with a
3:57
keyboard and stuff like I should be able
3:58
to like do desktop work with it um but
4:02
again the price is really intriguing so
4:04
let's just slide this dude out of here
4:08
so it it's definitely a review unit it
4:11
has been handled um man feels great
4:14
lenovo's been doing this for a while
4:16
feel like every tablet we get Chromebook
4:18
tablets other tablets they all just feel
4:20
good metal glass you get it it's a
4:23
tablet um super thin though uh let's see
4:26
if I can find a measurement here says
4:29
yeah they don't have the size listed on
4:31
it but I mean you can see my phone is
4:36
considerably thicker uh than that tablet
4:38
so very very thin feels great in the
4:41
hand again not surprised or shocked by
4:43
that in the least i do want to take this
4:45
thing this off here so we can we just
4:48
attach this this pin where it's supposed
4:51
to go and we'll try it out here in just
4:53
a minute uh but yeah um not a ton to say
4:56
you can see speaker grills um on the
4:58
side here it looks I'm I'm guessing
5:01
that's an SD card
5:03
slot it's got a hole in it as if it's
5:06
like a SIM card slot i don't know that
5:09
this thing has cellular data but maybe
5:11
you can maybe you can put it on a
5:12
carrier uh with data um another two
5:15
speakers over here uh USB type-C couple
5:18
microphone holes up top volume rocker
5:21
here power button there um I think that
5:24
has fingerprint built into it and you
5:26
can tell at the bottom you've got some
5:28
pogo pins and a couple little spots to
5:30
kind of guide that that keyboard uh dock
5:33
that it will have eventually it doesn't
5:35
have it now uh it's another thing I'm
5:37
just like if you're going to make a
5:38
tablet and put it out like put that main
5:41
accessory out with it this would be a
5:43
really nice screen size i mean it's
5:44
almost 13 in to have a nice tablet uh uh
5:47
interface with so hopefully they get
5:49
that thing out soon but let me get this
5:51
thing cranked on um and get logged in
5:53
and get past all those welcome screens
5:54
and stuff and we'll uh we'll test out
5:56
the pin check out the speakers and maybe
5:59
at least run one quick game just to see
6:01
what the graphics kind of look like all
6:03
right I got all logged in and set up
6:05
here and one thing I didn't mention uh
6:08
earlier was that this is a 144 hertz
6:11
screen I believe um but it's high
6:13
refresh um and it's super duper smooth
6:17
so now you've got this really high
6:18
resolution uh 400 nits of brightness but
6:21
super buttery smooth display which just
6:24
it looks great it really does and when
6:26
you mix that large nice display with
6:29
this really thin form factor not going
6:31
to lie just just bouncing around just a
6:33
little bit right now um it's it's just
6:35
nice to use um I I don't know that this
6:38
uh is a device that I would carry around
6:41
on a daily basis but I might give it a
6:43
go and just see um if at home and stuff
6:46
that you know um as a as a consumption
6:48
tablet that this would be something I
6:50
would like but uh that's neither here
6:52
nor there for right now what I want to
6:53
show you is a couple things so first off
6:57
um let's look at the pen real quick um
7:00
I'm just going to draw on here and you
7:03
can see the latency of that thing is
7:06
fantastic um can I clear this thing
7:10
let's just do Okay it's doing like a
7:12
standard eraser here get all that erased
7:14
off so I'm just going to write something
7:16
again if you've watched our videos you
7:18
realize my handwriting is just
7:25
atrocious i'm like real quick and punchy
7:28
and uh no problems what's no problems
7:32
whatsoever with that um and you can see
7:34
I mean like it just looks great um so
7:38
you know if you're looking for a tablet
7:39
where you can jot notes down there's
7:41
obviously tons of apps there's this
7:43
notepad app is is built in google Keep
7:46
um I think Neibo is on here which is a
7:49
um uh an app that um allows you to like
7:53
you can scribble stuff and it'll it'll
7:55
find text for you and that and your
7:57
scribbles there's a bunch of different
7:59
options so um definitely something that
8:01
is worth uh worth trying if you're going
8:03
to pick this thing up because you know
8:05
it's got a handy place to live and it it
8:07
actually works really well so next thing
8:09
I want to show you is or let you hear
8:11
kind of is the speaker so I've got a a
8:14
video of ours pulled up here it's
8:16
actually our Legion uh unboxing so and
8:20
again I mean just like looking at our
8:22
videos on this screen it's like man this
8:23
looks really cool so I mean I you could
8:27
you could probably throw in headphones
8:28
and really enjoy like a full movie or
8:30
longer episodes of like dramatic shows
8:32
on this thing uh but additionally um
8:36
with these speakers if you're in a place
8:38
where you can crank it up and just enjoy
8:39
it you might not need that take a listen
8:41
to this if you can through our our mic
8:43
here
8:44
and there's a few reasons why I'm pretty
8:47
excited to take this tablet for a
8:50
spin tablets but the size of this one
8:53
and the specs involved in it alongside
8:56
the fact that I've been driving the uh
8:58
Pixel 9a which is a smaller phone that
9:01
I'm using audio make this a really good
9:03
time to give this tablet a test drive so
9:06
let's uh let's jump in the box and see
9:07
what this thing's about
9:13
but before we hop in the box a quick
9:16
I mean for something this thin to be
9:17
able to push that much air around that
9:20
that's just impressive uh this again you
9:23
could you could watch a movie or or some
9:25
you know episodes of like action type
9:28
shows that you want to watch and set
9:30
this thing somewhere you know or just
9:31
hold it and probably have a really
9:34
really great experience with it again
9:36
you could throw earphones on it uh if
9:38
you want to um some wireless earbuds and
9:40
enjoy that just as well but man those
9:43
are those are really really good
9:44
speakers so finally I'm going to load
9:47
turn it down here i'm going to load up
9:49
uh uh Call of Duty Mobile which is kind
9:52
of I feel like a good um right down the
9:54
middle firsterson shooter as far as when
9:57
it comes to graphics and all that kind
9:58
of stuff and so I already went in here
10:00
and checked and under graphics I've got
10:02
it on uh high graphic quality let me go
10:06
to very high and see what it'll let me
10:07
do okay so I can crank it up to uh Oh no
10:10
if I go to max frame rate it takes me
10:12
back down to high graphic quality so I
10:14
can go very high and very high frame
10:17
rate which is probably going to be fine
10:19
and get most of the stuff still so I can
10:21
still get you know my anti-aliasing and
10:23
depth of field and all that kind of
10:24
stuff um so I'm going to leave that on
10:27
there i'm just going to launch into um a
10:31
quick game here sure great
10:34
um millions and millions of players so
10:36
it'll have me in a game in just a few
10:37
seconds but uh quickly uh I I loaded up
10:41
a game and played my controls are a
10:42
little weird cuz it just kind of spread
10:44
out my phone controls so the buttons are
10:46
kind of hard to reach and I don't know
10:47
how much time you're going to spend
10:48
gaming on a device like this this type
10:50
of gaming but you know turnbased gaming
10:54
that kind of stuff or crossword puzzles
10:56
or stuff that you're not reaching to
10:58
touch stuff all the time on or that you
11:00
can kind of take your time and hit your
11:01
buttons um I think this thing's going to
11:03
handle most games pretty well cuz this
11:05
is a relatively demanding title
11:07
obviously um and I'm just going to show
11:10
you i'm going to get blown away here
11:12
probably cuz I'm going to have to turn
11:13
this to you so the whole point here is
11:15
for you to see the smoothness um sure
11:20
but I mean you can just see nope over
11:22
here
11:23
nope it was just very very smooth let me
11:26
go walk in here a little
11:29
bit yeah i mean everything just looks
11:31
good things are rendered well no jumping
11:34
no bouncing everything's
11:37
smooth so yeah i mean and again I played
11:40
an entire match um and had no issues no
11:44
hiccups no problems again the Demenity
11:46
8300 is not going to be the the most
11:48
mind-blowing um performance you're ever
11:50
going to get but with a screen this size
11:52
and speakers as good you could also go
11:54
uh GeForce Now hook a controller up to
11:55
it and and play games that way as well
11:57
last thing we'll talk about is the
11:59
cameras um you know tablets in general
12:02
um are not um devices that you take too
12:06
many pictures on but again we've got
12:08
lots of light here not as much light
12:10
back there and kind of just see what it
12:12
does get a photo of Joe here
12:15
and then let me do let's
12:17
see where do I flip
12:21
cameras let's just There we go that
12:23
button there's the
12:25
selfie
12:27
okay so there's your selfie
12:30
cam plenty of detail granted we're under
12:33
studio lights here but um that that
12:36
doesn't look too bad and then can I go
12:40
shoot there's the shot of Joe from the
12:42
rear camera pretty soft there but again
12:44
it's it's pretty dark and it's pretty
12:46
bright up here um you know it'll be fine
12:49
if you need to take a photo here or
12:51
there uh most people don't buy tablets
12:53
like this u for uh the cameras but this
12:56
will give you the ability to you know
12:57
scan documents grab a photo if you need
12:59
to uh at a moment's notice but most
13:01
importantly be able to get into you know
13:03
a Google Meet call or something like
13:04
that uh and take that call uh it'll help
13:07
a lot once uh the keyboard accessory is
13:09
here for it uh because then you could
13:11
you know set it down on the desk right
13:13
now i think that's one of the bigger
13:14
hindrances to a tablet this size is I
13:17
don't have a case or anything for it and
13:19
it's sometimes I'm just like I don't
13:20
know where to set it um so you know if
13:22
Lenovo puts out some cases that have
13:24
some kickstands on them like that kind
13:26
of stuff will help a lot right now
13:27
you're kind of limited to I got to hold
13:29
this thing everywhere I go and I could
13:30
see that being a bit of a turnoff for
13:32
some people but ultimately uh just the
13:35
handful of minutes I've spent with this
13:37
device so far uh lead me to think like
13:39
it it would be kind of fun to you know
13:41
put this thing in play for a little bit
13:43
and see what life with a bigger tablet
13:45
would be like like I like using tablets
13:47
for things like reading and playing
13:48
games and uh uh consuming content so I
13:51
think it's going to be great for the
13:52
consuming content part i read in bed a
13:54
lot so I don't know about being forced
13:56
to use two hands there's no one-handed
13:58
operation here that I mean you can hold
14:00
it with one hand but you're going to
14:02
really struggle with those small bezels
14:04
uh to keep a hold of that thing if it's
14:06
above your face and then you know then
14:07
it could be tragic ending if you drop it
14:09
so you know I I don't know how it would
14:11
do with the reading portion of that and
14:12
then gaming is going to be a little bit
14:14
here or there um you know for for the
14:17
type of games I like to play some of
14:19
them wouldn't be great i'm sure Golden T
14:20
would be awesome on here cuz nice big
14:22
screen i can see the the greens and the
14:23
meters a little bit easier and it's it's
14:25
again it's one of those games I don't
14:26
have to touch buttons constantly and be
14:28
fast um I can take my time with it so
14:31
it's going to be a little bit of a mixed
14:32
bag I think if I if I actually carry
14:34
this thing around with me but it's
14:35
definitely a device that I wanted to
14:36
show to you all mainly because of the
14:38
price i mean you're getting a great
14:39
screen great speakers solid performance
14:42
so I mean if you're looking for a larger
14:44
tablet to kind of put into your workflow
14:47
or to put into um your your device list
14:50
uh so that you can have something to
14:51
consume content on I think this could be
14:53
a really awesome choice for a lot of you
14:55
all and it's already been on sale quite
14:56
a bit so it that trend will likely
14:58
continue so I mean you're talking sub300
15:00
bucks for something that has a lot of
15:02
impressive specs and a lot of good stuff
15:04
going for it i think it's a worthwhile
15:06
thing to think about if something like
15:08
this in this form factor is of interest
15:10
