Lenovo Tab M11: A 10.95-inch Android Tablet with Added Value at a Reasonable Price

“Lenovo Tab M11”.The actual selling price is 38,280 yen

The “Lenovo Tab M11” from Lenovo Japan is a 10.95-inch Android tablet. It has specifications that are on par with a 10-inch tablet, such as Full HD resolution and a weight of less than 500g, and the actual selling price is reasonable at around 30,000 yen. Furthermore, it is a product with many added values, including a stylus pen and the possibility of using it as a sub-monitor for a PC.

This time I will use the device I purchased to test its usability, including use for e-books and as a secondary monitor for a PC.

A product with a lot of added value even if the actual price is around 30,000 yen.

The closest product to this for e-book use is the Fire Max 11, an 11-inch tablet sold by Amazon for around 30,000 yen. Here we will first compare the specs with the Fire Max 11.

Lenovo Tab M11 and Fire Max 11 Specifications Lenovo Tab M11 Fire Max 11 (13th Generation) Release Date January 2024 June 2023 Dimensions (width x depth x height, thickest part) 255.3 x 166.3 x 7.2 mm 259 ,1 ×163.7×7.50 mm Weight 465g490gOSAndroid 13FireOSCPUMediaTek Processor Helio G88

39,980 yen (128GB)

As you can see from this table, the hardware specifications for both are very similar. The memory is the same at 4GB and the minimum storage capacity is also 64GB. Furthermore, it also supports memory cards up to 1TB. The Fire Max 11’s screen is slightly larger, but the resolution is about the same.

The casing is designed to be oriented horizontally. The width of the bezel with the front camera mounted on top is the same both top and bottom, left and right, so there is no discomfort even when using it in portrait orientation.

The unique advantages of this product that the Fire Max 11 does not have are IP52 waterproof and dustproof performance, a stylus pen with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, and an app that can be used as a secondary monitor for a Windows PC. is that it is equipped with “Lenovo Freestyle”. Additionally, since it has a GPS function, it is thought that games that use GPS that don’t work on the Fire Max 11 will also work.

Backwards. The design shows that it is designed to be used horizontally, with an 8MP camera mounted at the top right on the back. It has a volume button at the top and a power button on the side.

Despite these features, the price is the same as the Fire Max 11, around 30,000 yen, which makes it a great value for money, but on the other hand there are signs of cost cutting everywhere. For example, wireless LAN supports up to Wi-Fi 5, and biometric authentication only supports facial recognition, not fingerprint authentication. There is also a noticeable difference in CPU power, which will be discussed in detail later in the benchmark section.

A product that emphasizes rich functionality rather than performance.

As mentioned above, it is true that I would like to know more about the specifications, but even if the actual price is in the range of 30,000 yen, it has all the functions, is waterproof and dustproof, comes with a stylus pen as standard, and has the added value of a multi-display app. There is also. You will have to compromise on the slightly slow movement, but overall it is a product with many highlights.

In this context, in the same price range of 30,000 yen, the ones with better performance are the Fire Max 11 and the 11-inch Samsung Android tablet “Galaxy Tab A9+” which is sold for 35,799 yen, which I presented to you last time . it will be easier to understand if this product relies on additional features such as waterproof and dust resistance and comes with a stylus pen as standard.

As far as I have tested it, there are no particular problems in playing from video distribution sites such as YouTube and Netflix, and the 8 million pixel rear camera will be a positive factor even for users who do not own a smartphone. If you are looking for a tablet that meets certain standards and can be purchased at the cheapest price possible, this product would be a good product to have on your list.
