Do not buy anything from Lenovo!!! After placing order, it took 9 days to receive an email that delivery will be completed within 3 months. What a joke!! It appeared to be more serious than Temu.

standard issue looking at forums and Lenovo's lack of response to the issue with no hint of a fix. Great for streaming, watching videos, email and office suit. Anything more and I would spend more to get higher specs. You do get what you pay for and this is a decent tablet for the price, just a shame with the freezing.

Laptop choice made easy – Always helpful to discuss IT with a young, enthusiastic but understanding young person. Thank you Griffin, for your respectful advice and support. I’m very happy with my purchase with 16GB RAM & 512GB storage. Certainly way faster than my old DELL.
I bought my T470s in 2018, and it’s still running smoothly in 2025. It’s not a top-of-the-line laptop, but it’s proven to be very reliable, great for browsing, document work, and everyday tasks.

headphones and had to return them using eBay money back guarantee. The common deception that the fake bone conduction products made was to use information and images taken from the Lenovo product information.
Lenovo released the OPEN EAR Bluetooth headphone which has model number X3. I have one that I will also review. Then Lenovo released a REAL BONE CONDUCTION headphone which had a model number "X3 pro" which I am reviewing this time. NOTE######### The fake sellers copied the internal electronics from the X3 which uses normal ear speakers, but styled the headphones to resemble the X3 pro. The fake sellers use written specifications and images of internal electronics from the X3 pro. That was the deception. eBay reviewed the evidence and gave a refund. #########
The X3 pro is available in standard black or white and there is some combinations with red inserts. We purchased the white X3 pro.
This headphone does not have any open hole for sound, which also means it is the real thing.
The sound is transmitted to your INNER EAR by vibrations that travel through skin and bone. You can feel some vibration when you touch the sound pods.
There isn't much sound leakage because it has to use your outer ear as a speaker to let someone nearby hear sound.
The headphones grip your head using the built in titanium sprung steel band. It is comfortable and firm enough to stay on during exercise.
I prefer having my ears open and without plugs. I think it is a great product, good price and quality, it works.
Perfect pc for the price – Cheap and great PC. Its fast, runs everything i need and the battey is good too.

headphones.
I have purchased many fake bone conduction headphones and had to return them using eBay money back guarantee. The common deception that the fake bone conduction products made was to use information and images taken from the Lenovo product information.
There are 2 easy checks to make when a seller offers bone conduction headphones.
1. The sound pods do not have sound holes because there isn't a diaphragm to push sound. Small vibrations are transmitted through skin and bone to the inner ear.
2. If you put your finger tips in your ear canal to block sound, you will notice the bone conduction sound is enhanced, because the sound bypasses the ear canal. If the sound becomes softer then it is a fake headphone.
The X4 is available in standard black.

the time. The first one we got would even boot up, after 2 days of trouble shooting with Lenovo they approved a return, assuming it was just a lemon we got a replacement which has never operated properly. It takes well over 5 minutes just to boot up and is incapable of processing much more than a text document or spreadsheet. Loading any internet pages takes a long time. Today, less than 2 years since purchase it won't turn on at all past the power up screen. DO NOT BUY THIS COMPUTER.
Big screen Android tablet that excels in many ways but has battery issues maybe? – Purchased 09/2024 from Lenovo for about $550 to replace a smaller Samsung "A" series that was running out of storage space. My configuration has a… Read more
12.7inch 3k screen with 8gb ram and 256gb internal storage. Wifi only. shame there is no LTE/5g option, but as I will be using it mainly round the house or in hotels, no great sacrifice.
I have added a 512gb micro SD card for more storage ($65), and a 3rd party protective folio case with keyboard for about another $70. The onscreen keyboard is actually great so I may not have needed the keyboard, but the screen always needs protecting as it is the most vulnerable component, so I guess it was necessary. If Lenovo make one I haven't found it but would have bought it for preference over a 3rd party one. AMENDED 1104: Finally found the official Lenovo P12 keyboard via Amazon for $172. big price for a tablet keyboard, and it took 2 weeks to arrive from Europe. fantastic quality and gets power from the 3 pongo pins on the bottom of the tablet. One killer problem....some the keys are in the wrong place... for example it is not QWERTY, but QWERTZ, and the Y is on the bottom row. It also has mystery keys, and some weird Northern European keys, and some keys just don't work. I am very sad as the construction quality and ergonomics are brilliant. I sent it back and will stick with the small Bluetooth keyboard I already have.
It comes with a screen pen which baffles me and may take some time to learn or master. Never had one of them before. And it is preloaded with Android 14 as its operating system, which is similar to 13.which I already know. Also comes with a powerful charger to speed up recharging. All USB C plugs of course.
So why did I buy or need a 12.7inch screen? Diminishing eyesight.
First impressions:
Absolutely gorgeous high resolution screen that knocks my socks off. Heavy! That's the downside of a larger form factor and screen. Sturdy metal case that is well screwed together.
Fast OS and generous 8gb of. ram. Implementation of Android not quite as slick as Samsung does, but pretty good. Not. much bloatware to delete. Just a few annoying kids games. No obvious way to port all my programs and data from my old Samsung to the new Lenovo wirelessly or wired, so has to be done bit by bit manually. Not a big problem, always good to start afresh, and get rid of programs and data I rarely used. But I could be wrong, maybe I just couldn't figure out how to clone the old programs and data to the new machine. Samsung makes it very easy. Lenovo could learn from Samsung.
Terrible documentation and manual. More like a chewing gum wrapper in size. and it is called a Quick Start Guide, which is accurate, though it's not much help. I pity anyone new to Android trying to get their head around it.
Performance is impressive. I have had 7 tabs open simultaneously with no slow downs, freezes or juddering. Video playback is especially impressive, and video quality is brilliant. Download speeds and wifi buffering is also great. No complaints despite the relatively unknown processor, and 8gb ram.
Several of the more obscure irrelevant programs included with the machine have crashed, but no great loss ro me. They are just buggy, and peripheral to me anyway. Microsoft 365, including Outlook and OneDrive, go like the clappers with no issues. Email implementation is swift and elegant for both my accounts. Specialist marine programs I use also run perfectly. There is so little to gripe about I am truly thankful. I have downloaded about 40 programs from the Android store and all run without a problem and with each other.
AMENDED 102024: Battery life is now a big question mark. YouTube reviews of the P12 estimate battery life between 5 and 10 hours. I am getting 4 and a half hours. That is a huge range. I suspect endurance may be heavily influenced by screen brightness settings and use of Bluetooth and wifi. But there must be something draining the battery even when it is asleep, as I have not been watching videos or multi-tasking to any extent. Less than 5 hours is a poor result and indicates Lenovo need to upgrade their software or firmware.. It is the only major disappointment with this tablet but means I cannot give it more than 3 stars. ( Changed to 4 stars as I love everything good about this so much.) But I cannot recommend it as a purchase. Time will tell whether an update fixes this problem.
Only other gripe is warranty. Warranty: some confusion here, mine arrived with only 6 months warranty left but in mint new condition and all the wrapping and boxing you would expect? Something is wrong here somewhere. The tablet Settings tell me the warranty period started in April, but I purchased in September and it arrived in as new packaging and condition. Go figure. AMENDED 112024: When I registered the purchase with Lenovo online, I got the option to amend the warranty start date, which I did, and they approved the next day. Now have a full 12 month warranty.
Conclusion:
The Lenovo P12, after 4 weeks of use, is a joy to own and use . It has so much going for it, but the poor battery life was a shock. It is an absolute winner and a letdown at the same time at a fraction of the price , (maybe one third) ,of technically comparable machines, but I hesitate to recommend it if you use your tablet mostly away from a power socket.

making it a good choice for me who likes the Google ecosystem.
For the price it includes a detachable keyboard and kickstand making it both a tablet and a mini laptop. The keyboard is on the small side but it’s decent for typing and adds the 2 in 1 functionality. I did get excited when I unboxed it as it had a box inside for a stylist/pen but it wasn’t included with the model I bought.
The display appears to be bright enough but I haven’t used it outside in bright light yet. You can’t do too many things or have too many apps open at the same time on this device as it struggle a bit when I did but it's good for basic tasks like emails and using the internet but that said comes with Gemini which is Google's new AI tool which I’m starting to get use it more and more.
I ask Gemini to give me a sentence about how good it is and here is what it said about itself: I strive to be a helpful and informative AI, capable of generating human-like text, translating languages, writing different kinds of creative content, and answering your questions in an informative way.
This is a good device which I’m thinking about taking on a holiday I'm going on soon for it’s 2 in 1 functionality. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

again. It is close to useless. It is fine if all you want to do is look at your emails. Anything more is impossible. For a start, I did say it was fine if you want to look at emails, however, I had a lot of trouble connecting to WIFI overseas. I asked the boy who sold it to me if it would work overseas and he said yes. But, I had to do a lot of work around to get it to work. Something to do with the notepad not recognising the WIFI.... Luckily, I did not need it for work. The main problem with it is that I can not get Microsoft Office to download. I can't get Word to work. I have spent hours trying to make it work, but no. So, if you are considering buying a Lenovo Idea Tablet - DON'T.

standby for a while the laptop will die or decides not to start anymore. We tried all and every fix suggested until we told by Lenovo that this is a common issue with Lenovo laptops as the powerboard needs replacements. I was initially quoted nearly $220 to git it fixed by when I contacted them from my company email, they wanted to charge $1760. I could buy a new laptop with this price so never again
It works – Good for school but runs a bit slow and battery doesn't last very long.

screen and battery problems. This experience has been incredibly frustrating, especially considering the device's intended use for education.
Furthermore, the customer service provided by Lenovo and their authorized service centers has been disappointing. The lack of responsiveness and resolution has added to the overall negative experience.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Lenovo laptops. The combination of hardware failures and subpar customer service has left me feeling let down.

the item to Officeworks where it was purchased believing that it was a warranty claim. Officeworks also confirmed that apart from the cracked screen they could see no evidence of damage. However, Lenovo refused to accept the claim and charged me approximately 60% of the new value to have it fixed. New $797, Repair $495. Reluctantly I agreed to have it fixed and had to pay for the repair upfront. At the time I was told the repair could take up to 4 weeks. Three months later it was only when I emailed Lenovo that it was my intention to take the matter to the Civil Adminstrative Tribunal for full compensation that amazingly 3 days later Officerworks called to say the laptop had been repaired and was ready for pick up. I will never purchase another Lenovo. Their product is second rate and their customer service doesn't exist.

the inside of the screen is held together with inadequate glue that starts to deteriorate after not much time. I bought a think pad many years back and it was very expensive (3 grand) and didn’t last long either. So I think this is just a brand that does not make quality products. The customer service is also very poor. I recommend staying right away from this brand.

to this simple concept. So dumb. The salesman said "they won't let me open the box to see what's in it." How can he sell it with this rubbish going on? (JB Hifi) I had to buy the keyboard/pen set from one shop (Harvey Norman) and the tablet from a different shop. (Bing Lee). One web shop had cut and pasted a description identifying 2 different memory versions but didn't specify what they were selling from their web shop. Helpline staff were unable to identify the exact product on their webshop. (Go Harvey Norman !)
Lenovo Idea Tab Pro falls short in some areas, especially if using it to record audio and more particularly a musical performance. Much better results can be achieved recording from a moderately priced phone. I'm quite disappointed with this part of the product. The playback audio is pretty good so you can enjoy using it for listening to music and watching streamed content. No earphone jack means you need bluetooth earbuds or possibly some kind of adapter from the USB C port ? I do like an earphone jack. I don't want any more batteries to charge. I tried a variety of video apps to try playing some movies I have on file with little success. Maybe Lenovo could have taken the trouble to preload a great versatile video player instead of a bunch of unrequested games. If I travel with it I might want to play videos from my library if I can find a good app? You can however plug out to a larger monitor, use Android apps and there are many useful things you can do with apps. With so many Android phone users it is a natural evolution that app developers may continue to create and improve the usefulness of apps to extend to tablet use. Overall I will find regular use for it but be aware of the limitations of this product. The pen is ok for drawing. Not bad but you'll have to find an app that works for what you want to do. The tablet downloaded a lot of crappy apps that I had to waste time deleting, just to see it do it again. I couldn't bulk select them to delete. Lenovo should address these issues. Not all of us have time to waste on Candy Crush. Battery life so far is pretty good. A good charger is provided. A USB C port is the charge point. I trialled it with a USB Hub to plug in another monitor which can mirror the screen or extend it. Works. Build quality is pretty good though Windows Surface Pro is lighter, nicer to use with a much better keyboard connection and Surface Pro kickstand is a better design than Lenovo's Keyboard/Pen Cover Set. It is a lot less money though. File management seems a bit of a nuisance. I tried to access files on a memory stick plugged into the USB C port but this Lenovo device didn't seem to recognize it. Why ? Makes no sense to me. I can plug a USB stick into my phone and use the file manager to access files. Why is it difficult to do with this TAB? There is a poorly presented written instruction sheet with the unit with not much effort put into that. So there you have it. Not bad, but plenty of room for improvement.
Lenovo ANZ Premier Support – ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4 | 9 months old, under warranty, 2–4 hours battery, zero resolution - PLAIN LIES FROM LENOVO … Read more
Purchased a ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4 (June 2025) (Premier Support tier, still under warranty). After just 43 charge cycles — less than 9 months of use — the battery only delivers 2–4 hours of runtime on balanced power mode doing basic browsing. The Spec sheet says 10.8 hours.. PLAIN LIES
I raised a warranty claim with Lenovo ANZ Premier Support. Here's what happened: They got my own battery specs wrong. Their Level 2 team assessed the design capacity as 48.84 Wh. The actual original capacity is 55 Wh — verifiable in the device's own battery report. They based their entire dismissal on incorrect data.
They refused warranty action. After escalating to Level 2 engineering, I was told replacing the battery "will result in the same outcome" and that 2–4 hours of battery life is "normal and in line with expectations." Their own diagnostic logs confirmed 2h59m runtime — and they defended it.
For comparison: I also own a 2022 X13 Gen 2. After 4 years and 259 charge cycles of near-daily use, it still delivers significantly longer battery life. The Gen 4 — barely used — is dramatically worse.
The support process was exhausting. Multiple rounds of generic advice (dim your screen, use balanced mode — already doing both). I submitted diagnostic data, screenshots, Plogger log files, and comparison data from my older device. After I sent the logs on March 13, I heard nothing. I had to follow up on March 16 just to get a reply. Response only came today — and only to tell me 3 hours of battery is acceptable.
I filed an ACCC complaint and told them. At that point, they escalated to management. Still waiting for resolution
If you're considering a ThinkPad for productivity and expect 8+ hours of battery life as marketed — be warned. Lenovo's own support team will tell you under 3 hours is within spec. I have the emails to prove it. See my attached correspondence.
Currently pursuing this through the ACCC.

booked a service call. They made a booking and I waited all day twice (between 8am and 6pm) and the technician did not show up. It took another two service calls (2 more days waiting) for the repair and now the battery life is low, it has gone from over 9 hours to under 3 hours. No explanation and after many hours of troubleshooting and remote access support, no solution. It is possible that the replacement board has a lower quality processor and chipset.
The complaint was escalated to a representative located in Australia who cannot see the support ticket information.

they happily issued the Harvey Norman store with a credit note to replace the faulty item - good! But, I got the replacement 'Lenovo Tab Plus' tablet today 9/5/25 and it worked for about 2 minutes before the screen started flickering and lines formed across it. Then, the screen went blank and wouldn't come back on. There's a faint glow when the 'on' button is pressed but like before, the entire screen is blacked out. 2 out of 2 duds for me - not a good track record for this tablet which I used to love (for 10 weeks anyway) before the screen issues. Will I get a 3rd one - dunno, unless Lenovo offers it to me as a freebie for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. me. (The photos below are from the 1st tablet)
