I will be back to update this review in a few weeks as I grow more familiar with the tablet, but my initial impressions were so good that I had to make an immediate review. I purchased this as an upgrade to a Lenovo M9 that I used for running laser engravers, as well as productivity with the Office365 suite, and for media consumption via music and movies. I did not use it for gaming beyond RuneScape and Solitaire. The M9 was a great price and I felt met all my needs perfectly. The only reason I decided to upgrade to the M11 was for screen real estate. The active stylus seemed like it would be a nice bonus for my graphics design work through the numerous apps I used in laser engraving.All that being said, as you can see I don't need the absolutely highest performance device on the market.As I've only used this tablet for 1 day, here are my observations. It is a hefty boi. It is surprisingly heavy, but not so much that I consider it a nuisance to hold. That probably comes from the premium design, as the smaller bezels and aluminum body give you a feeling that you're using something that was designed with pride.The size itself is perfect for my needs. As the larger screen size makes it a lot easier to design things without constantly having to zoom out. The included case is actually surprisingly slim, adding very little bulk. I appreciate that. It even has a rubber strap on it that you can use to either aid in carrying the tablet or secure the case closed during travel.So with regards to both the M9 and my new M11, one area that does impress me for such an affordable tablet is the screen. I really appreciate the colorful display, as it seems quite vibrant and capable of displaying a large range of colors. You really just have to see it in order to fully appreciate it. Additionally, it has a specific setting that makes reading ebooks an absolute pleasure, greatly reducing stress on my eyes. I think if I were to put an anti-glare screen protector on it, it might actually be my preferred e-reader. But if I have to complain about the screen it would be in two areas: the resolution, while being HD, lacks the resolution of other 11 inch tablets. At 1200x1920, it has a slightly lower pixel density than one might find in the Fire 11. Additionally, the screen brightness is great for indoor use, but move outside and you may find it's lacking.Another thing I appreciated with both the M9 and the M11 is the sound quality. This M11 steps up audio quality with 4 Dolby Atmos capable speakers. The tablet seems to be capable of getting quite loud in comparison to my S20 phone, and range is much better. Lenovo seems consistently able to provide users with respectable audio.And lastly and more importantly, the performance meets my needs. It's quite snappy. I don't think I'd recommend this for extreme multi tasking, but some of the reviews I found online left me expecting worse. The smart stylus is very responsive and the device itself opens my apps relatively quickly when compared to the M9. I don't find myself annoyed with the performance at all. It's precisely as fast as I need it to be for all my productivity needs.I got this thing on a great sale price and I absolutely do not regret my purchase so far. I'm looking forward to putting it through the paces. In a few weeks, I'll be back with an update, but based on my first day's use, I have a feeling I'm not going to have a lot of complaints!2 week update: I have been using this tablet exclusively for engraving non stop for the last two weeks. The screen has been on, displaying static images of my designs for up to 12 hours at a time with no burn in. Impressive. Also, I installed a "paper feel" non glare screen protector and it's an absolute game changer. Reading ebooks with Lenovo's exclusive integrated reading view setting is an amazing experience only bested by true e-ink devices. Additionally, with a "paper feel" screen protector, it truly feels like I'm drawing with a pencil. Speaking of the active stylus, I discovered it is indeed pressure sensitive. That quickly became evident when using a sketchbook app with simulated fountain pen. So if other reviewers are expressing otherwise then it's likely they haven't tested the pressure sensitivity with compatible apps. It's outstanding. This has been the best tablet purchase I've ever made!My last word of advice is to buy and apply a screen protector immediately. I didn't, and wound up with micro scratches on the screen from using the active stylus in a dusty garage relatively quickly.3 week update: Still loving it. The only other info I'd like to provide is that I've installed a PS1 emulator on it and after connecting my Switch Pro Controller, I'm now even more impressed with the performance and speaker quality. Playing FF7 on this device, it really makes the audio experience amazing. Percussion sounds coming from one speaker and the synthesizer coming from another... it's like having a little pseudo surround sound system in a tablet!Final update, I promise: The battery life on this thing is amazing. I recently experienced a 6 hour power outage at my home, and used this tablet to watch several movies/shows to pass the time. After appx 6 hours of video playback, I don't believe the battery indicator dropped below 75%. That speaks volumes in itself.

I wanted to wait a while before reviewing this tablet. I had a not so great experience with my last Lenovo tablet a few years ago. It started out great,but then.... . Not the case with the M11,couldn't be happier. The tablet has a great screen with a stylus. It has a Lenovo skin of android that is pretty close to stock. It also has a Chrome/Windows like desktop mode make feel laptop like.(kind of) . This will allow you to do a fair amount of real work on the go. Lenovo has been updating the software way more than most budget brands around. Mine also came with Android 14 and a very nice case. It makes it great to take when I travel. It has also become my movie machine. The pictures quality and sound for a small screen tablet is great. The screen is bright with great colors and sound. The qud speakers and Dolby atmos can fill a room.As far as the processor,it's more than enough for most things. If you are a gamer you may need to stick to lite titles. This is where it could have been nice to have more ram.The tablet only has 4GB. 8GB would have been the sweet spot but maybe the price would been more? Lenovo also have other tablets close to the same specs. I would say, keep your expectations in check, it a budget device. A very very good budget device.

I’ve been using the Lenovo Tab M11 for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The screen is vibrant and responsive, the MediaTek Helio G88 chip handles everyday tasks smoothly, and battery life has been more than enough to get me through a full day of browsing, video streaming, and even some light gaming.What really stood out for me was the stylus support. It’s incredibly smooth to write and draw with—perfect for taking notes or doodling during meetings. The tablet feels like it punches above its weight at this price point.The only minor downside: the pen doesn’t come with replacement tips. While the one it comes with is working fine, it would have been nice to have spares included for peace of mind, especially for people who plan to use it heavily for drawing or writing.That said, this small detail doesn’t take away from how solid and well-rounded the tablet is. If you're looking for an affordable, high-performing device with stylus support, the M11 is a great pick—I just recommend ordering some spare tips separately if you plan to use the pen often.

It's really nice. I got the 128gb memory. If you are older-I'm 57-and not exactly a tech prodigy, don't expect this to make sense. I wound up using my chat GPT on the phone, taking pictures of the screen and uploading them to chat GPT, who then told me what to do. PC mode made more sense to me. The screen is VERY touch sensitive, like as sensitive as your eyeball. And BY THE WAY: If you accidentally set up a split keyboard layout, you have to choose a pc keyboard layout to fix it. I cannot tell you how to get to it, I do not know how I did, either. You also have to un-select split keyboard. The on & off buttons in settings? Green means it's off. Red means it's on. The perversity of this seems deliberate to me; and it's aggravating. Once I learn all the things they altered from how EVERYBODY ELSE does it, I have no doubt I'll love it. But quality? As always, great, which is why I buy Lenovo.
