Lenovo's new Tab P11 tablet is the Galaxy Tab S7 you can actually afford

The Lenovo Tab P11 takes things down a notch but still offers great value.

What you need to know

  • The Lenovo Tab P11 launches with an optional pen and detachable keyboard pack.
  • The new tablet offers Google's new Kids Space to keep children entertained with curated apps.
  • The Tab P11 will be available this month, starting at $229.99.

Last year, Lenovo launched the Tab P11 Pro, which was a respectable competitor to some of the best Android tablets on the market. This year Lenovo is coming into CES 2021 with a non-pro version of the tablet, featuring lighter specs and a lighter price tag that could make this an ideal tablet for families and kids who are working or schooling from home.

The Lenovo Tab P11 takes many design cues from its sibling from the sleek dual-tone finish to the aluminum-alloy chassis. It features a slightly smaller display at 11-inches, and while it keeps the same 2K resolution as the Pro variant, the standard P11 uses an LCD panel instead of OLED ― no doubt a measure to cut down costs. Still, Lenovo claims that the Tab P11 is one of the few Android tablets certified for HD playback on Netflix. And to further boost your entertainment, the tablet comes with a quad-stereo speaker setup optimized by Dolby Atmos.

Powering the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset, so you won't find 5G on this tablet. It does support LTE and Qualcomm's FastConnect, so the tablet is WiFi 6 ready and should still provide some fast speeds when surfing the web. Unlike the Pro variant, the Tab P11 only features one camera on each side ― a rear 13MP camera and an 8MP front-facing camera for video calls and Face Unlock. Lenovo also includes a Smart Privacy feature to blur the background for those of you working from home.

Speaking of work, there are a few accessories that are must-haves for Lenovo's new tablet. Namely, the Tab P11 supports a detachable Keyboard Pack that features a kickstand with a free-stop hinge that can be kept at any angle. There's even a hotkey that activates Google Assistant for one-touch access to voice commands.

The Lenovo Precision Pen 2 supports tilting, 4,096 pressure points, and is compatible with WGP and AES 2.0 protocols. There's even a pen pouch that can be attached to the back of the tablet so you won't have to worry about losing it.

Lastly, Lenovo is announcing a new Folio case, and the Smart Charging Station 2 to dock the Tab P11 and turn it into a smart hub with support for Google Assistant's Ambient Mode. It charges the Tab P11 using the 4-pin connector and is also compatible with the Lenovo P11 Pro. Each of these accessories is sold separately.

For kids, Lenovo is adding support for Google's new Kids Space which was launched last year. With Kids Space parents can have peace of mind while working from home by keeping them occupied with plenty of fun and educational games, books, and videos. The experience has been carefully curated by Google for kids age 9 and under, and parents can even monitor and manage their kids' usage with the Family Link app.

The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro will run Android 10 and comes in configurations starting at 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, up to 6GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. There's also support for microSD cards up to 256GB, in case the internal storage isn't enough. The 7700mAh battery promises up to 15 hours of regular use. As far as pricing goes, the Lenovo Tab P11 starts at just $229.99 and will be available for purchase this month.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
