Lenovo Tab Extreme Review: Rivals Samsung Tab S8 Ultra At Lower Price
Ғылым және технология
The Lenovo Tab Extreme is Lenovo's answer to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. It's got a 14.5-inch OLED 120Hz display, with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, and a very, very good keyboard case.

I’m actually really impressed with the design of this tablet and keyboard. Made some smart changes on top of what apple did and it’s so nice that you can get it for nothing extra atm
I wish Samsung would release a keyboard case like this already, hopefully they do with the s9

This and the notch is why I'm leaning towards the extreme..I love that floating keyboard
Love that this whole package feels complete with all the accessories. I personally like large screen tablets too, since I use mine for media consumption and drawing. Thanks for the review!
There is another feature you didn’t mention which is one of the biggest reasons I use this tablet daily. It has a source-in connector at the bottom right hand corner, and it works to perfection as a secondary monitor that is also a tablet by itself. Very impressed.

ho-lee-crap! I had no idea that it had this feature! That is awesome!
It's good to see the others joining the competition between Samsung and Apple ... I'm really impressed with this one
If Lenovo actually supports this tablet with software updates, it will be great. This has been a sore spot for them compared to Samsung and Apple.
This looks sleek and nice. And also too, it's great to know the bundle includes both the stylus and the keyboard case. But man, that's such a huge tablet tho.
Man i want every big tablet to use this accessories, the fact that it has that much range of motion using the keyboard case and that kickstand is just perfect for every use, now we just need the keyboard to be backlit

Great video! So detailed as always! I have a Samsung tab S8 ultra and I've been looking into new tablets but honestly man, Dex is so powerful that i literally use it as my mainly "PC" and the floating Windows style are priceless, so convenient. I hope other companies start working on something similar to Dex soon!

Very nice, no-nonsense, kind of video. I wish every product review video was like this. No hysterics, no dramatics, just simple review with a straight forward face.
Thanks for another fantastic presentation, Ben! Your reviews are always so enjoyable.
Great review! You hit all the notes I was interested in and the funny relatable editing you did was top notch 👍
I just went over to Lenovo to check this out and it took me directly to Best Buy's site. I'm amazed it's under $1k and includes the keyboard and the stylus. Makes it really hard for me to overlook, since I have been looking around for a new laptop. While this wouldn't be an easy lap toy, I can definitely see the many ways I would personally use this. Since I'm a BB member, I might have to pop over there to see if they have any out for review. I can't believe I have never even seen this before!
It honestly looks like an amazing tablet. That case looks really cool, too. I hate to beat a dead horse, though, but... no headphone jack? On a tablet? Why?!

@@adityapathak2046 yeah I don't think sd cards are outdated too. I was replying to the guy saying sd card is outdated. if it really was outdated, phone and tablet manufacturers should provide an alternative to add more storage. they just want you to change your phone more often by removing more and more features with each generation of phones.
Thanks for a great review as always Ben, been eyeing this since it got announced but ultimately going for a laptop instead. Just curious tho, does this particular tablet have pc mode or productivity mode like in the p12 pro?

No specific PC mode. Nothing like Samsung dex. You just use android but can open up to 10 apps in floating windows
I get why the trackpad gestures might be confusing at fist, but what Samsung and Lenovo are doing is to meemic the Windows gesture navigation, because you are suppose to be using it as a laptop so it makes sense to do it like this, it's much more intuitive
Thank you so much for this review. I was wondering if you've had anything nee you found on the tablet... Also how is it for outside use like in the sun compared to s9 ultra
Great tablet for home usage😊, thank you, Ben
tablet looks great, would love to have one but samsungs hardware integration offers such a lovely experience, i can't do any other brand anymore.
I need this tablet in my life! I reached out to Lenovo and for the US it will be released on Black Friday in November...wow!
Looks nice! Might be worth looking at price drops.
Man, love the intensity and objectiveness of your presentation style
It looks great, I'm using the p11 pro 2nd gen. What I like about it is that it's very mobile as it has 11". This screen is very big and wouldn't want to carry this around... Android office apps are getting there, office suite is great. This will be great for many people. Just one snag, Lenovo need to provide software updates. All these features have not be implemented on their other devices. I'm still on Android 12 and this was the same on release. App support needs to move up a gear.
I appreciate youre reviews man

Hi John!
You forgot to mention that you can connect this as an external touch monitor. I have the yoga tab 13 which al ost does that (minus the touch) but using the app called super display you can do that. My USB and mini HDMI ports are flimsy on my tab. I wonder if this newer tablet is more firm with the two ports. At least if one dies, the other can still be used to charge. Also you forgot to mention fast charging, which is a feature I've come to love from my OnePlus phones and miss it terribly when I don't have it. So battery life becomes a little less of a problem with fast charging.
Nice job on your video sir. Lenovo has always been great Going to take a closer look.
Great review. But i will never buy another lenovo device until they improve software support. you will be lucky if you get 1 android upgrade from android 13. I have been let down by lenovo to often now.
Wow! 14.5" tablet is quite huge! Really good review for a niche product from Lenovo! I really like how Lenovo can just easily build a large tablet and its accessories for lower pricepoint than Apple and Samsung. My Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 was only 355USD, 47USD keyboard case, 40USD pen. Very good hardware for the price!

How can it be this thin and have a 12000mAh battery! But you would expect it to last longer with that huge battery! The screen looks amazing and the speakers sound so good! The only thing that makes no sense to me is the lack of a headphone jack! On point with your assessment Ben for whom are the audience for this Lenovo tablet✌👍

Can you use it as external monitor? Hdmi in?
I think the gesture is made like that because they adhere to windows gestures, and honestly I think it's okay since you're are using the tablet at that specific time as a computer, so makes sense... 9:16
does it have a wacom digitizer?
Why can't I find a version with a 5G/LTE SIM card anywhere?
How many years of updates will it be supported? Samsung is offering 4 OS updates and 5 years of security updates.

Can't agree more. The fundamental purchasing question is "do I need to draw / write digitally frequently enough to justify a big device".
I disagree with the trackpad gestures. Coming from a laptop user the trackpad gesture scheme is universal in Windows and Linux, it came off natural for me.
What was the name of that game you mentioned? My son would love a tractor game like that.

Why does everyone say that it is copying Apple's centre stage when Logitech has had such a feature a long time ago.
This is what we need. Other reviewers just said bs stuff.
weight size and screen makes it a great device.
For how such a behemoth this tablet is and also for 1000$ price it should have a minimum of 20000mAh battery, ideally 30000.
I wish tab s8 ultra had such a case

That's a nice sized tablet. I have a ten inch Lenovo tablet. One day I'll like a bigger one.
Just got an s9 ultra that kind of regret it because that lenovo magic keyboard looks great.
This is a really cool tablet.
Apple center stage is already a copy. My 10+ years old Logitech camera had that feature. Erm, that split screen thing and pop up windows. How is that an iOS copy. Samsung been doing that YEARS before Apple. And Lenova been working on that for quite some time. I think they were doing a kind of pop up before Apple as well.
I love it!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Slick 👌
For content consumption, yes. But for anyone who wants to use the thing for work, Win11 would have been perfect. But this should give Samsung a run for their money for anyone who wants to save a little money on a media consumption device.
They did not copy apple with the 3 dots windows has been doing that forever.. gosh I hate when people say copying crapple and don't know jack...
Without a notch even!
Belongs to a comedy skit its so large lol
Nice screen but aspect ratio is not good for portrait mode.
Nice
Honor pad 8 still good friend of mine has it
I've had my fair share of lenevo tablets..I won't even consider them if they don't improve their support! You would be extremely lucky to get any software updates on one of these whereas my samsung gets updates every 3 months..this also means that you will have to live with any of the bugs it comes with (cause of no updates) and well, their software sucks..other than lenevo's taskbar, you get almost nothing! Just extreme basic stock android! And I had their flagship product back then! Used it for over 2 years and I am not going back..
Its the best of the S8 Ultra & iPad!
