The innards
The 14.5-inch OLED display of the Lenovo Tab Extreme has a 3K resolution and a refresh rate of 120 hertz. The contrast ratio is 1,000,000:1 and the eight speakers are from JBL. The centrepiece is a Mediatek Dimensity 9000. The processor has proven itself over the past year in several top smartphones. The tablet's battery life is up to twelve hours and its casing is made of aluminium.
Practical all-round design
The dual-mode stand attaches magnetically to the Tab Extreme. This allows the tablet to stand both vertically and horizontally. With the keyboard cover, which is also available, you can adjust the angle of the tablet. This type of keyboard cover has already proven its worth with the current iPad Pro from Apple. The keyboard is backlit and has a compartment for the included Lenovo Precision Pen 3.

Software for the home office
With Android 13 as the operating system, the Tab Extreme is state of the art and can, for example, open up to ten apps simultaneously as floating windows. There are also practical functions for video calls. An automatic camera focus on the user, filtering out ambient noise and a 360-degree voice recording mode so that everyone in the room can be clearly understood. Lenovo promises three OS updates and four years of security updates.

You can also connect the tablet to your laptop and use it as a control panel or secondary touchpad. The screen can also be mirrored or used as an extension for more screen space. To do this, you need the Lenovo Freestyle app or use the tablet's DisplayPort or USB-C connection via cable.
