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 go on a par with 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 the battery life, it confidently works with all the necessary office software and other utilities designed, for example, for banking operations.

By purchasing this tablet at an average price of $ 800, in addition to all the conveniences and ample opportunities, you will receive a keyboard, stylus as a gift, as well as constant support for 4G Internet. Considering its direct responsibilities 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 use all the amenities provided in our time. The cost of the device ranges 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 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 are pointed. There is an opinion that due to such design changes, the accessory will be more pleasant or rather more comfortable to lie in the hands. Despite these innovations, the ThinkPad TAB 10 will perform better with the keyboard.

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

The back cover of the gadget houses sound speakers, a camera, and a fingerprint scanner that serves as biometric security. On the other hand, there is also a front-facing camera in the size of 1.2 megapixels, and right along the course - a touch-sensitive power button that serves to unlock the tablet.

A spare unlock button is located at the top of the case. The key also turns on the device by holding it down for a few seconds. There is a hole located at the bottom of the tablet to connect charging, 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.A decent processor, RAM (2GB and 4GB depending on model), and internal storage will provide a good balance between quality and performance during 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 x 1080 pixels, and considering the type of matrix, we can say that the tablet has excellent viewing angles, and the image is of very good quality. The entire visual component looks juicy, bright and rich. Considering such a large resolution in the tablet, you can safely use the screen enlargement function, only the only drawback is that some icons will have a very large shape.

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

Software

The most important difference from other tablets is the use of the Windows 10 operating system. This operating system 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 there are still a number of problems when using touch controls. A very lengthy procedure is to change the brightness of the screen, while on androids this is done in a few clicks, and immediately you have to perform it much longer.

Do not forget that this tablet belongs to the business class, which means that it is tailored for the corresponding specialized applications. This suggests that any office application will work at its best on this device. Anyone 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 make you wait.

Performance

The ThinkPad 10 has a number of advantages, including speed, battery capacity and size. Given its small size, this device functions quite quickly. All this is expressed in the total load of the 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 tablets on android, of course, it does not hold out, but the speed is quite decent.

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

Battery life

This tablet has a very powerful battery. With such a slim body and decent performance, the battery life on a 100% charged battery is 9 hours to full discharge. This is much more than most laptops and some Android devices. Taking into account the working time conditions of modern society, we can conclude that the battery capacity is quite enough during the working process.

Tablet camera

The camera on this device at 5 megapixels produces photos of not very good quality, and this, given the good lighting. The sharpness in the photo is weak, and the graininess is too high. As for the front camera, everything is pretty bad, it is only suitable for video calls, and even then with poor quality. In general, it should be noted that the camera on this device is not a virtue.

Audio system

The speakers also do not boast of good quality. The sound is painfully bad, especially in cases where sounds with low frequencies are played. We can conclude that the gadget is not designed for listening to music in good quality, and the speakers are for transmitting only superficial sounds. I would like to note that on most of these devices, the audio system looks more impressive.

Pros and cons

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

• Problems with touch controls - some functions take a long time to complete;
• there are unnecessary sharp corners that are not very conducive to a comfortable position in the hands.

Output

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

Based on the feedback from users who got acquainted with this tablet, as well as the pluses present, there is such an opinion that the price is too high. Indeed, in 2019, you can safely find a device similar in characteristics to half the cost.
