Why I prefer this Lenovo tablet over the iPad for multimedia consumption – and it’s $130 off

If you’re in the market for a new tablet that won’t break the bank, may I recommend the Lenovo Tab Plus

Speaking of audio, the sound system is my favorite feature of the Tab Plus. It has eight JBL speakers, four of which are tweeters and four of which are woofers, all fine-tuned by Dolby Atmos. In comparison, the M4 iPad Pro, Apple’s current premium tablet, only has four speakers.

I found the system’s audio performance outstanding. As part of the testing, I watched the entire second season of Arcane on Netflix. From the first episode to the last, I enjoyed crystal-clear sounds powerful enough to fill a room. That said, the bass is a little lacking — it’s nowhere near as punchy as bass from a soundbar.

The Lenovo Tab Plus functions decently well as a work tablet. You can connect accessories like keyboards via Bluetooth. Thanks to Android 14, there’s a desktop mode for mimicking desktop setups. 

The operating system also delivers engaging gesture controls. My favorite is where swiping up sends you to a carousel of open apps, and you can hop between any one of them. Smartphones have similar functionality.

Android 14 brings with it years of updates. Lenovo has pledged to continuously roll out security patches to the Tab Plus until June 2028.
