With its Snapdragon 870 chip, the P12 Pro is also a fairly powerful tablet. This chip has a lot of the same power as the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but it doesn’t overheat or drain the battery like the top-end chip does. It’s a good tablet for games and apps that do a lot of work. When it comes to software, which is just as important in tablets as hardware, the Lenovo Tab seems to be lacking. It runs on stock Android, which isn’t great for tablets even at its best, and the included stylus doesn’t have any useful features.
But the Lenovo Tab doesn’t have any killer features that would make it stand out from its competitors. Samsung slates have powerful chipsets and useful note apps that make it easy to use the stylus. iPads have the useful iPadOS operating system and a much wider selection of apps. Fire tablets are part of the Amazon ecosystem and cost much less.
The P12 Pro doesn’t have much that would make someone want to buy it, and it’s also very pricey. Even the Yoga Tab, which was already mentioned, has a built-in kickstand, a micro HDMI port, and great speakers, which give it a real edge. So, the P12 Pro is a good choice if you want a tablet that’s a little easier to carry around or one that comes with a stylus. However, there are many other tablets that are more appealing.

Where to get Lenovo Tab P12 Pro?
The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro’s 10,200mAh cell is about the same size as the ones in Apple and Samsung’s bigger tablets. On average, I could use the tablet for about two days before having to charge it with the 30W adapter that came with it. And if you want to charge it faster, you can use its Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 technology by plugging it into a 45W brick. To Lenovo’s credit, the Tab P12 Pro is one of the first Android tablets to get Android 12L, Google’s updated and promising operating system that’s made for large-screen devices like foldables. When the real version comes out, we’ll have more to say about it.
The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is reasonably priced as a stand-alone tablet and is a great way to have fun. I love the big 12.6-inch screen, and I’m glad Lenovo included the Precision Pen 3 for those who need it. I’m not going to say that the Tab P12 Pro is the best of its kind until the official version of Android 12L comes out. Small problems, like gesture bugs and input lag, keep a tablet from being perfect in terms of its hardware.
