Are you in the market for a behemoth of a tablet? Then you'll want to consider Lenovo's Tab Extreme, which goes extreme on the size with a 14.5-inch display.
Lenovo Tab Extreme MSRP $950.00 Score Details “If you can get past the humongous size, the Lenovo Tab Extreme delivers a beautiful display and immersive sound, capable performance, and good battery life. But it also has some quirks, aside from being incredibly massive.” Pros Cons When you think of Lenovo, the first thing that probably comes to mind are laptops and desktop PCs, right? That’s the case for me, but turns out Lenovo makes some pretty decent tablets too.
Apart from that, the Lenovo Tab Extreme looks like a typical tablet from Lenovo, with some similarities to the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 that I reviewed last year. The Tab Extreme chassis is made with 100% recycled aluminum, so it’s overall pretty lightweight despite the sheer size. The buttons feel nice and clicky, providing a good amount of tactile feedback when pressed.
My review unit came with the Lenovo Precision Pen 3 stylus, which is included when you purchase the Tab Extreme, as well as the official keyboard accessory. The Precision Pen 3 has about 4,000 points of pressure, fairly low latency, and a button. The button can be used for things like remote photo capture, Bluetooth remote control, changing tools in your apps, and more.
The keyboard case also attaches magnetically and is capable of lifting the tablet from the surface, like Apple’s Magic Keyboard. The hinge also lets you adjust the viewing angle to your own preference, as it’s stiff enough to hold it up without moving. When you use the keyboard case, it’s great to keep the Precision Pen 3 along the edge versus the back, as the hinge leaves space to keep the stylus safe and secure in the center.
With such a large display, the Lenovo Tab Extreme is excellent for productivity or media consumption, at least for me. I thoroughly enjoyed streaming shows and movies on it, and when paired with the eight JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos support, it’s perfect for entertainment. Since it’s so unwieldy to hold with your hands for long periods of time, the speakers will pretty much be uncovered most of the time, and thus the sound is never muffled.
However, not every app can become a floating window, for some reason, as Lenovo’s supported apps for floating window mode is a bit limited. Which apps will support it? Well, that has to be done through trial and error, unfortunately. And when you do find an app that supports floating window mode, you can’t move it off-screen either.
The front-facing camera is also 13MP and placed along the horizontal side. There is a software feature that keeps you in the center of the frame, similar to Apple’s Center Stage feature, and it works well enough for video calls. Lenovo Tab Extreme: price and availability You can get the Lenovo Tab Extreme directly from Lenovo for $949. There was also a bundle at Best Buy, but that appears to be out of stock at the moment. The Tab Extreme comes in one color, Storm Gray, and only in a 256GB storage configuration. However, it does come bundled with the Lenovo Precision Pen 3, which is a $70 value, so that’s not bad.
