[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying the M9 tablet. It's very snappy and quick. It's a breeze to use. I have recommended this unit to a number of my friends and family.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is in many ways the perfect Tablet.
This is not the most powerful tablet, and it doesnt need to be. The Mediatek G80 is MORE than enough to keep the system very very snappy.
The screen is quite literally, the perfect size. Ive had 8" tabs, ive had 10 and 11 inch. They are always too big or too small. The 9" screen is absolutely perfect for media consumption and tasks like taking notes.
Ive tested it in gaming, it plays most android games quite well, heck it can even handle genshin impact.
The sceen isnt ultra sharp, but at 9", 800p is only a tiny bit less sharp than the steam deck. AKA the pixel density is good. The colours are exceptionally vivid and accurate. I was surprised how bright and vivid the screen is. It makes the 8" samsung screens look like muddy dark swamp water.
Audio is also shockingly good. For a dual set up its killer.
So my takeaway: this is NOT the most powerful gaming tablet. Its not supposed to be. It is the perfect size, with a killer screen, great audio, and all the features you need. And its snappy enough to never feel cheap.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a tablet for a specific purpose, as an aid for photography in the field. Increase brightness for outdoors would help, but otherwise it is ideal. As a bonus. I find myself using it for other purposes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I initially bought it to play youtube videos sometimes for my infant daughter but my husband using it for remote play for his xbox games and man he is happy 😊. So quite happy with the purchase, he never thought it will handle the remote play but it did and very smoothly and within budget
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tablet is really amazing for the price, the only thing that I disliked was that the dolby atmos sound was set to dynamic and it made the sound weird. Changing that setting to something else made it work properly and then the tablet was flawless for my needs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just the right size. It's thin and light. It's just that the total color is not crisp, I mean compared to my other Lenovo Tab11, it's not as bright...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression is that the M9 meets the bare minimum for today's tech standards and power, which is to say I'd wait for the price to go down significantly before purchasing it.
The good: it's lightweight and is an ideal size (not too small that it may as well be a cell phone, not so big it's hard to hold). It does basic things like web browsing just fine. The battery is good, the sound is good, it feels like strong, metal hardware, and I'm glad it uses a USB C for charging.
The bad: the graphics are noticeably bad, and one of my lighter games downgrades it's own graphics level because it says the tablet won't support it's higher level (Sorcerer's Arena). Widgets don't live update well and operate on a lag, and everything feels a bit choppy. The upgradable OS isn't ready yet, and I'm seeing a lot of limitations on the current one (many tweaks and options I see online for the current android OS simply aren't available on this tablet). The camera feels like the one I had years ago on an old cell phone, but I didn't buy the tab for the camera.
Overall, if you just need a perfect sized tablet for web surfing and watching videos, I'd say go for it when Lenovo releases their seasonal price drops on their products. Otherwise, for the price and for today's tech minimums, I'd say there's a mismatch there. Lenovo has some AMAZING products that I swear by, so I'm disappointed that I must rate this product this way.
I would recommend this to a friend!
