How to choose a tablet
If you need a tablet and decide to go with Lenovo products, then you need to highlight for yourself the most important parameters by which you will select a specific model. Android is used as the operating system on all models except transformers. There are no big differences in price either; all Lenovo tablets are classified as middle class.
But you need to pay attention to these criteria:
- Display diagonal. It all depends on the user’s requirements, some are looking for compact tablet computers, while others need an option that can replace a laptop. Lenovo's products include different models from 7 to 13 inches.
- Power . This indicator depends on the processor and RAM installed inside. The latter should be at least 2, and preferably 4-6 for full-fledged work.
- Battery . A tablet is a mobile device for which autonomy is extremely important. It is measured in mAh, and the more there are, the better. Check out the best Power Banks for smartphones and tablets
- Cameras . Not the most important function of this type of technology, but still cameras are needed at a minimum for video communication.
Lenovo Tab 3 TB3-850M
If you are still wondering which is the best Lenovo tablet to choose in the price range of 8,000-10,000 rubles, then pay attention to the Tab 3 TB3-850M.

A device that is ideal for surfing the Internet and viewing photos or movies. The large 10.1-inch display helps with this. The screen has a built-in high-quality IPS matrix with support for HD resolution. Despite the large screen area, the tablet's large battery helps it last up to 12 hours in autonomous mode. A mid-range processor (Snapdragon 425) is built into the body of the device, allowing you to comfortably perform everyday tasks.

Bottom line
In general, tablets should not be demonized; they are very harmless and even useful if you follow the simple rules that we told you about. Of course, you can protect your child from everything, make friends with books, control every step - no one has the right to condemn the parents. But still, you must agree that using a computer as a taboo in the 21st century is a sign of a medieval person.
The new Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus is, first and foremost, an “adult” tablet, which, however, can be used not by one person, but by several at once, including children (including small ones). Therefore, the tablet is quite worthy of the title of “family”: mom will be able to watch TV shows and recipes on it, chat on Skype; dad - watch Peppa Pig so that no one knows about it, and children - watch Peppa Pig so that parents will be aware of it and will not worry again. And original “children’s” accessories for such a multiplayer mode come in handy here.
Thank you for your attention!
Appearance and assembly
The design of the new transformer is non-standard, in that the lower and upper parts are not symmetrical - the top has rounded corners, and the bottom is rectangular, and this is due to the fact that the tablet is adapted to be connected to a docking station.
Front panel
On the front you can find a front camera, a proximity sensor, a central mechanical button, and small holes for speakers.
Back panel
Turning the tablet over, on the back side you can see the name of the manufacturer's company and line, the rear camera, and on the right there is a hole for the touch pen.
Placement of connectors and buttons
The volume control button, the screen orientation lock key and the headset connector are located on the right side.
Right side
The power button, touch handle and ventilation hole are on the top side of the case.
Top end
But the bottom side is dotted with various slots and connectors, for example:
- Along the edges and through two slots there are two pairs of latches for the docking station
- Next you can find the charging connector
- SIM card slot
- Proprietary port
- Mini DisplayPort
- USB port
- Cooling system
Top end
In addition, the absence of any additional ports is compensated by the presence of branded accessories.
Pen connector
The presence of a built-in touch pen increases the functionality of the transformer several times.
Dock station
Due to symmetry, the tablet can be connected to the docking station both inward and outward.
Tablet with docking station
The designers did a great job of placing the ports on the docking station, which allows you to snap out the tablet with one click and use it separately.
Dock station
It is also worth noting that the keyboard is protected from moisture, additional ventilation located on the back side, and an internal battery that increases the autonomy of the transformer.
Tablet accessories
On the back you can find two USB ports, a charging connector, and a Mini DisplayPort. As you can see, branded accessories allow you to connect wired Internet via twisted pair and connect to the screen.
Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X90L
The variety of Lenovo tablets with keyboards today is very large, and if we consider the transformers market as a whole, then there is a huge number of products for every taste. However, with the Yoga Book YB1-X90L, the manufacturer managed to surprise even the most demanding users. Without any doubt, in terms of its range of interesting features, we have the best transformable tablet from Lenovo, not only in recent years, but throughout the entire existence of the company. Even when folded, the thickness of the device is less than a centimeter, and the well-thought-out design of the hinges allows you to place it on the table in absolutely any position.
The Yoga Book YB1-X90L is equipped with the most powerful version of the Intel Atom processor to date, labeled Z8550. The four cores of this chip operate at a frequency of 1.44 GHz, which is enough for any task. But the main advantage of this new product is its “keyboard” unit. There are no keys in the usual sense here, but the user can turn them on on the touch area, and they will be highlighted with backlight. Another mode of this zone allows you to make notes and drawings using the included stylus, and thanks to a special notepad, which also comes with the device, you can write simultaneously on paper and on the Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X90L.
Advantages:
- Unusual implementation of the “keyboard block”
- Performance
- Autonomy
- Stylish, slim design
- Equipment
- SIM card slot
- Wi-Fi module supporting 802.11ac standard
- Matrix quality
Flaws:
- With a large number of functions, there is no full implementation of them
That's how the stars aligned
As many of you have already guessed, this article will talk about what functions a tablet has that make this type of gadget so popular. But first I would like to say a few words about its internal structure and configuration. Many factors coincided for this device in its current form to come into being - the development of computer technology, mobile phones, reducing the energy consumption of components and increasing battery capacity. We will try to consider what a tablet is, and we will also describe its functions. Let’s identify the main source of pricing and consider promising development vectors for the coming years.
Lenovo ThinkPad 10 Z8750
Although the cost of the Lenovo ThinkPad 10 cannot be called low, in terms of price-quality ratio this tablet is at a very decent level. It has a 4-core Intel Atom Z8750 processor running at 1.6 GHz, as well as 4 GB of RAM. Taking into account the manufacturer's preinstallation of Windows 10, the buyer receives a tablet whose characteristics and capabilities are no different from a regular netbook. A high-quality 10.1-inch matrix with a resolution of 1920x1200 makes this tablet an excellent choice for watching movies, simple games, and editing documents. You can even buy this tablet for children, because it can perform both entertainment and educational functions. Unfortunately, Lenovo does not supply a docking station with the ThinkPad 10 Z8750 model, and you will have to purchase it separately.
Advantages:
- Matrix quality
- Performance
- Windows 10
- Fingerprint's scanner
- Intel HD Graphics
- 64 GB internal memory
Flaws:
- Lack of a dock (taking into account the cost of the device)
Conclusion
The presented TOP 10 best Lenovo tablets for 2021 contains a wide variety of devices for every taste. There are models here that can replace netbooks and ultrabooks, and there are also solutions with a small display diagonal, including one popular phablet. For lovers of unusual new products, the rating includes tablets with a projector and an additional touch panel, providing a new experience of interacting with mobile devices. As you can see, the Chinese manufacturer has something to please modern users; the range of their devices is very diverse in terms of characteristics, prices and design.
In practice
At first, picking up the device in portrait orientation is not very convenient - sometimes your thumb hits the fingerprint scanner (with subsequent slight vibration of the device).
But when you set up authorization through the problematic finger, the problem disappears. This orientation is convenient for reading websites or books - a lot of things fit in. But it’s much more convenient to hold the tablet in landscape orientation (for watching movies or playing games) - in this case, there are no accidental connections with buttons, and there is room under the thumbs on both sides for a comfortable grip.
The fingerprint scanner works quite well: firstly, it recognizes almost without errors, and secondly, it unlocks the system very quickly (even if the device is turned off, you just need to rest your finger, without pressing - in case of successful authorization, the tablet will immediately show the desktop of that account , which the finger belongs to).
FullHD resolution on eight inches looks very cool, the screen is bright, the colors are saturated - it’s nice to look at such a screen and show it to others. In general, an 8-inch screen is really enough for most tasks - be it watching movies, reading, playing games or surfing the web.
When you turn it on for the first time, the user is faced with almost bare Android 7.0 (an update to 7.1.1 is available for now), no pre-installed and non-removable bells and whistles (except for the office suite from MS). But, surprisingly, only half of the 16 GB of memory is available (and 50 GB for the 64 GB version), so if you take the younger model, do not forget to buy a memory card right away (feel free to add 1-2 thousand to the price of the device).
The animations are smooth, everything flies - there is enough performance, the device practically does not heat up even when watching a video. If we talk about parrots, then in the popular Antutu Tab 4 8 Plus scores almost 63500 points (3D - 12699, UX - 244285, CPU - 21104, RAM - 5394), but in general this is not what I wanted to talk about in the article)
