Lenovo Tab M8 Tablet, HD Android Tablet, Quad-Core Processor, 2GHz, 32GB Storage, Full Metal Cover, Long Battery Life, Android 10 Pie, Iron Grey

I love my Lenovo tablet! This tablet has a lot going for it. I was looking to replace my Dragon Touch, that only lasted 10 months, and the extra money it cost for this tablet is so worth it. I've also learned my lesson and got an extended warranty. I've just never needed extended warranties with my Kindles since they are such work horses and last a couple of years, at least. My husband uses an old Kindle of my daughters that has got to be at least 5 years old.I am writing this review as a quadriplegic with limited use of my hands. So some of the things I'm going to mention are a particular use for me, but I'm sure are great features for anyone.The screen is clear and bright and doesn't cause eye strain for me. The brightness setting gives me lots of choice on how bright I want the screen. There is a built-in eye protection setting if you want to reduce the blue light coming from your screen. I do not use it because I prefer the brighter screen.The on screen keyboard gives me a lot more options for use than my Dragon Touch did. It is a good size and isn't as overly sensitive as my Dragon Touch keyboard. It gives me a little more time to linger on a letter before it switches to the alternate keys (a verses ã). It also has a predictor pro built in which my last tablet did not have. The microphone setting, so that I can do speech to text, is very good. The keyboard also comes with its own clipboard setting.The speaker is acceptable, but then again, I'm not an audiophile who needs amazing speakers. I do have it hooked up to my Bose Bluetooth speaker, which gives me very nice sound. The speaker works for general web browsing and YouTube viewing.There is plenty of space for all my apps. I haven't even inserted a microSD card, because I still have hordes of space left. It feels fast enough when loading and I haven't noticed any lag time.I love the built-in setting which allows me to wake up my tablet by either double tapping it or raising it up. It's very hard for me to be constantly pushing the power button to wake it up. This feature alone is a big deal for me.I like that there is a indicator light that tells me when my tablet is charging (red, charging - green, charged) which also can be set to flash when I get a notification. Both features can be disabled under the display settings. I would think that the flashing light might be very useful for the seeing impaired.It doesn't take long to charge and holds a charge for a lot longer than my Dragon Touch. I also use a Kindle HD (which I love, but it's obviously not Android) and my cell phone, so I do not use this for really long periods of time. Even with sporadic usage I get two days of use out of it before I have to charge it again. I also don't notice any warmth or heat coming from the battery when I charge it.I'm sure as I get to know my tablet better I will find other settings and options to explore. Overall, I am very happy with my new tablet. Great job Lenovo!

We purchased this for our grandson. We tried several times to use the Walmart kids tablet and they failed within a month each one. So after jumping thru their hoops twice we decided to go another way. I am so happy with this tablet. We paired it with a case and it’s perfect. We are so very happy with the results and it looks great.

Didn't get much of a chance to use it, as my hand was getting cramped just while setting it up. It's an odd size that makes it awkward to handle. So nothing wrong with this item specifically, just an issue for me when it comes to devices of this size. Too large to use like a phone, too small to use like a laptop.

Wow, Lenovo! You are killing it in the low end product line-up these days. I have an AMD-based Flex 14 and for the money its a great multi-purpose laptop. The Tab M8 continues the pattern of offering a great low-end price for very good value.I have been buying, returning, or reselling the spectrum of tablets for a long time in search of one that checks every box I want in a tablet: Inexpensive, reasonably high quality build, acceptable performance and features.First the huge surprise: The battery life is insanely good compared to just about any other tablet I've used. Screen-on time of roughly 16.5 hours at 50-60% brightness and still 15% battery left after a mix of games, browsing, reading PDFs and watching videos. This is just incredible and easily 2x or more the battery life I'm used to seeing in a cheap tablet. I could take this on a very long day of travelling and be reasonable sure I wouldn't need to top up the charge.The resolution is sufficient, but nothing special at 1280x800. However PDFs and text is very readable and quite clear unless you are pressing it to your face so a higher res isn't really necessary and would just negatively impact battery life for little gain.Performance is surprisingly good for a mediatek CPU. In the past the MTK CPUs I've used in inexpensive tablets have been severely lacking in performance, barely able to smoothly scroll a webpage, let alone play games and such. While this CPU benchmarks on the lower end of the spectrum, it still provides a surprising amount of punch and even fairly intense games are mostly smooth and playable.Warning: For netflix HD users, this tablet lacks the DRM chip needed to watch in HD. You can still watch Netflix, but I believe it tops out at DVD resolution or roughly 540p. Since the screen is only effectively 720p its really not that big of a deal for me.

I ordered this to replace a previous tablet which I for some reason decided to step on and destroy the screen. It was a Samsung Tab A6 (2016), which I was becoming quite frustrated with anyway b/c it only came with 8GB and was constantly out of space, and ran quite slow. I have an iPad Mini 2 which is older and still runs fine. I debated getting a new Samsung,, then on a whim bought the Lenovo Tab M8 TB-8505F. I must say I am impressed!This tablet is far faster,32GB of memory helps, and I'm not certain but I saw somewhere that this has a discrete graphics chip? I could be wrong but that would account for a lot of speed. According to the battery information it has been 5 days and 25 hours of screentime since last full charge, and I have 29% left. The battery life is incredible,given the Samsung would last a good 12 hours after years if use... The Samsung was good,not this good!Now what do I do with my old tablet that still has data on it? If it was worth it I would have it repaired and donate it to a school... If any repair shops would be willing to look at it I would pay a few bucks so a kid could do distance learning!I normally only write a review when I'm mad enough at a product to write and review, it in the RARE occasion such as this a good one(just to put things in perspective!)
