Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 10 review

Before starting the review of the tablet, it is worth mentioning that this device is designed to work in an office environment. A fairly lightweight and very thin tablet computer can easily reach the same level as most representatives of Android tablets, only instead of the usual operating system with a green robot, Windows will appear here. Apart from its functionality, as well as battery life, it works confidently with all the necessary office software and other utilities designed, for example, for banking operations.

By purchasing this tablet for an average price of $ 800, in addition to all the amenities and features, you will receive a keyboard, a stylus, as well as constant support for 4G Internet as a gift. Given its direct duties at work, this tablet is easily suitable for watching videos in good quality, as well as movies, cartoons, and even suitable for fans of active games. Its quite impressive filling will allow you to enjoy all the amenities provided in our time. The cost of the device varies from $650 to $1050, and the average price is about $870.It all depends on the level of configuration, the characteristics of the equipment.

Tablet features and design

The Lenovo ThinkPad TAB 10 tablet is considered a pretty good device. This is evidenced by a good processor from the manufacturer Intel, as well as the Windows 10 operating system, which works great and is considered one of the best. In terms of performance, the gadget feels confident.

Lenovo decided to create a slightly unusual tablet shape. This is noticeable when looking at the bottom of the case. Instead of the usual circular shape, the ends of the panel have a pointed shape. There is an opinion that due to such changes in design, the accessory will be more pleasant or rather more comfortable to lie in the hands. But, despite such innovations, the ThinkPad TAB 10 will perform better tasks using the keyboard.

Considering the nuances in terms of appearance, the design of this device is very elegant: charcoal plastic covers the back of the panel and looks great with all its logos.

On the back cover of the gadget are sound speakers, a camera, as well as a fingerprint scanner that serves as a biometric protection. And on the other hand, there is also a front camera of 1.2 megapixels, and right on the course - a touch-sensitive power button, which serves to unlock the tablet.

A spare release button is located on the top of the case. The key also turns on the device when held for a few seconds.To connect charging there is a hole located at the bottom of the tablet, and all the necessary connectors and buttons can be found on the right side of the tablet case.

This area contains all the necessary ports, including USB, HDMI, SIM, MicroSD. There are also volume switches and a headphone hole. Based on such an arsenal of connectors, we can safely say that the creators have developed a truly impressive product.

As mentioned earlier, this tablet is great for gaming. Quite a decent processor, RAM (2 and 4 gigabytes depending on the model), as well as the amount of internal memory will provide a good balance between quality and performance during the gameplay. At this time, the device practically does not hang, everything works stably without errors and any failures in the system.

Detailed specifications

tablet screen

Lenovo ThinkPad 10 has a very good screen. Its resolution is 1920 by 1080 pixels, and taking into account the type of matrix, we can say that the tablet has excellent viewing angles, and at the same time the image is of very good quality. The whole visual component looks juicy, bright and rich. Given such a high resolution on a tablet, you can safely use the screen zoom function, only the only downside is that some icons will be very large in shape.

The maximum screen brightness reaches 410 nits. This is very impressive data, especially since with a lower brightness indicator during strong outdoor lighting, the tablet can be comfortably used and the image will be clear.

Software

The most important difference from other tablets is the use of the Windows 10 operating system. This OS allows you to use a number of useful programs and functions. Despite all its functions, the tablet is inferior in terms of convenience to the vast majority of devices.

Of course, Windows 10 has a lot of improvements over the previous series, but still there are a number of problems when using touch controls. A very long procedure is to change the brightness of the screen, while on androids this is done in a few clicks, it immediately takes much longer.

Do not forget that this tablet belongs to the business class, which means it is sharpened for the corresponding specialized applications.This suggests that any office applications will run at their best on this device. Any of the users working in the office will appreciate this advantage and easily get used to working on a tablet.

Another plus is the free synchronization of the device with any laptop or personal computer. The biometric security system looks very cool and works great, and identification is instant and does not keep you waiting.

Performance

The ThinkPad 10 has a lot to offer, including speed, battery capacity and size. Given its small size, this device functions quite smartly. All this is expressed in the total load of processes. In addition, applications open at an impressive speed, and in general, the speed and functionality of the interface leaves a pleasant feeling. In comparison with other Android tablets, of course, it does not hold out, but the speed is quite decent.

When testing performance, this tablet is gaining much more points than many representatives of "androids" and iPad-devices. We can also say that gaming computers have not gone far in terms of performance compared to this gadget.

Battery Life

This tablet has a very powerful battery. With such a thin body and decent performance, the battery life from a 100% charged battery to a full discharge is 9 hours. That's a lot more than most laptops and some Android devices. Considering the working time conditions of modern society, we can conclude that the battery capacity will be enough during the work process.

tablet camera

The camera on this device at 5 megapixels does not produce very good quality photos, and this, given the good lighting. The sharpness in the photo is rather weak, and the graininess is too high. Regarding the front camera, everything is pretty bad, it is only suitable for video calls and then with poor quality. In general, it is worth noting that the camera on this device is not a virtue.

Audio system

The speakers also cannot boast of good quality. The sound is painfully bad, especially when playing sounds with low frequencies. We can conclude that the gadget is not designed to listen to music in good quality, and the speakers are designed to transmit only superficial sounds. I would like to note that on most of these devices, the audio system looks more impressive.

Pros and cons

• performance of the Windows 10 operating system;
• battery life;
• thin and light form of the device;
• an impressive amount of internal memory.

• problems with touch control - some functions take a long time to complete;
• there are unnecessary sharp corners, which are not very conducive to a comfortable position in the hands.

Conclusion

Even if you take into account the good design of the tablet, the performance and the nine-hour battery life of this device, the functionality leaves much to be desired. This tablet will show itself only in works related to printing. This is evidenced by an additional keyboard, as well as a number of necessary programs for an office worker. But even considering this, the question remains the price set for this tablet.

Based on the reviews of users who have become familiar with this tablet, as well as the pluses present, one gets the opinion that the price is too high. Indeed, in 2019, you can safely find a device similar in characteristics to half the cost lower.
