LenovoTab M9-2023 - Tablet - Long Battery Life - 9" HD - Front 2MP & Rear 8MP Camera - 3GB Memory - 32GB Storage - Android 12 or Later - Folio Case Included,Gray

for the sale price of $79 and some change, this is the snappiest media consumption tablet you will find.9" tablets are fairly small now a days, but for something to download 10 Black Mirror episodes and podcasts to watch inconspicuously at work...this is perfect.Octa-core (2 cores at 2.2ghz and 6 at 1.6 ghz I think) is very good at this price point, 3GB of ram is mid, but you dont notice when surfing the web or watching videos, the 32gb of storage is what is expected, the system takes up about half of that but you can get a 128gb micro SD card for around $7-10 and you are Gucci.They do have a bunch of forced applications and games, but you can delete those as soon as its done updating.Don't expect an OLED screen and perfect color at this price, also don't expect 1080p, but at 9" you cant tell that its not 1080P.8/10 Golden chestnuts or 4.5 stars

Excellent product! Fantastic price! Highly recommend!

So after submitting 2 support tickets and one "help me" message from their app on the tablet, I finally got a response to the support ticket that they were sending a replacement "part". This "part" arrived and it was a new tablet. I wasn't sure a new tablet would fix this since it looked like a software problem, so I was skeptical. I moved everything to the new tablet and it IS actually working much better. I can run all of my apps, except the one solitaire app still gets killed by the tablet. But I found the same game by another developer and it works fine. So I can live with one app not working vs maybe 4 that weren't on my old tablet. Maybe there was indeed some glitch in the hardware somewhere.So I'm raising my rating for their willingness to send a new tablet, which fixed things to the point I can live with.****Original Review****Bought this tablet in June so I've had it 5 months. This tablet initially seemed great, especially for the money and the fact that finding a decent tablet in this size range is almost impossible. It was working great until it didn't. So now I have to give the tablet only 1 star. This is mainly for the software that Lenovo has installed and which you CANNOT see, uninstall or control. It happened after their latest update.The system has a built-in memory management app that you cannot see and cannot control. After the last update, this app has gone on steroids and is very aggressive. It will shut down apps while you are using them or sometimes even before they fully open. Yes, that's right. You click on the app, you see it starting, then boom, it is is gone. I'm not talking graphic-heavy gaming apps. I'm talking solitaire card games and match-3 games. If you google this, you will find many angry posts about this and Lenovo's responses have been the typical, "well, it is a system app so you can't do anything about it...too bad so sad."So some apps work and some don't. I've contacted Lenovo via their app on the tablet and twice via their warrant support website since my tablet is still under warranty. ZERO RESPONSES. Obviously, Lenovo has no intention of addressing this issue or even any warranty issues. So buy at your own risk cuz once you buy it, you are on your own.

Not long ago, I urgently needed to get organized to work from home, and I was looking for a tablet that was practical, fast, and reliable. After checking out different options, I decided to give this one a try and honestly, it has been a total success.The battery life is amazing: I can go through almost my entire workday without needing to recharge. The 9” HD screen is perfect not only for working but also for relaxing with my favorite shows it really feels like carrying a mini movie theater around.What surprised me the most was how smooth it runs. Thanks to its Octa Core processor, apps open and switch effortlessly, even when I multitask. On top of that, the facial recognition makes me feel secure knowing my information is protected. And as a bonus, I love using Google Lens to translate documents or quickly identify information.If you’re looking for something reliable, practical, and versatile for both work and entertainment, this tablet is definitely worth it.

I bought this as an e-reader and for the occasional streaming/light gaming. I use the app ReadEra (not a fan of Kindle) and I couldn't be happier. With the brightness turned to minimal (you don't need much for reading), I get 20+ hours easily. Streaming gets me between 3-6 depending on brightness. The included case is great quality for protection against scratches in your bag, ease of holding, and auto sleep when closed - but in no way is this going to save your tablet from a fall off the table.*This tablet is going to need a couple minutes booting to full speed when powering up. This isn't the case when waking form sleep mode - it's ready to go automatically. But expect some patience when cycling the power.*This tablet should be good for live android updates until at least next year, but runs great out of the box for the basics.*I've also dabbled with some low end retri emulation (GBA, SNES, and even PS1) - all working great especially when connected to power. The bluetooth pairs with a controller no problem.I'd buy this tablet again, especially if its on sale.
