Not sure if targeted, but lower than the previous deal and equal to the ATL from the comments in that deal. Currently $499 at Lenovo, but popped up with an extra 15% coupon for me when I searched 'Lenovo Idea Tab Pro' in Chrome on PC and clicked the direct link to the Lenovo store. I actually got the same price earlier today by asking in the chat, but easier if it just pops up for you. Upper mid range tablet specs, comes with a pen. Other details stolen from the last deal below:

12.7" 3K (2944 x 1840) 144Hz screen. Widevine L1 certified.
10200mAh battery with 45W charging
MediaTek Dimensity 8300
256GB UFS 4.0 internal storage
microSD card slot
Security updates until 2028
13 MP main + 8 MP selfie camera
Four JBL speakers

        Wrong models (storage configurations) in your link.

        The chipset in the Pro makes the P12 look like a dinosaur. I don't think it's fair to call them similar.

        • cvindura on 21/05/2025 - 17:06

          Noticed the storage difference - there is no option to select a different model. But I agree on the chipset.

      P12: MediaTek Dimensity 7050
      idea tab: MediaTek Dimensity 8300

      7050 perform similar to Snapdragon 865. (flagship in 2019)
      8300 perform similar to Snapdragon 8Gen1+ (flagship in 2022)

      which is around 30% on CPU performance

      can't bother to look up GPU or storage speed. the CPU performance alone made this 2 not worth comparing.

      • chyawala on 22/05/2025 - 06:27

        I believe comparing single thread performance is more relevant, as general use relies on this.

        • OMGJL on 22/05/2025 - 09:34

          yea except 7050 sucks more in single thread.

          7050: 2 cores Cortex-A78 at 2600 MHz and 6 cores Cortex-A55 at 2000 MHz. 2MB L3 Cache
          8300: 1 core Cortex-A715 at 3350 MHz, 3 cores Cortex-A715 at 3200 MHz, and 4 cores Cortex-A510 at 2200 MHz. 4MB L3 Cache

          30% or so worse on raw single threaded performance, plus older architecture. (ARMv8.2-A vs ARMv9-A), plus half L3.

          GPU is about 1/4 of the performance.

        Same tablet but in Chinese with a questionable warranty. You can mostly remove all the Chinese, but for only around $50 more (when you take the price of the pen into account), I would prefer to buy from Lenovo with an English ROM and full warranty. I guess I saved myself $50 so that's something.

    i got on the previous deal (with the 15% off) - and yes try different browser if you dont get that offer.

    One thing to note is that the screen is matte (I like it for less glare and better with the pen, though havent used that a lot yet)
    Mainly media consumption for me, been very happy with it so far.

              @Budginator: Previously owned an older mid range Samsung tablet so this is a good upgrade. IMO, great quality. Has a premium feel. Speakers are great. It's heavy but that's expected with a larger screen size. I got the keyboard/case as well and very happy. Nice to use. I've not had much experience with a pen before so can't say if it's good or bad. It's much lighter than the pen my iPad for work uses. Positive experience so far. Thumbs up from me.

    • One2Share on 31/05/2025 - 21:42

      I've noticed a difference between the matte screen and a regular (glossy) screen, and to be honest, I'm not particularly impressed.

      In low-light environments, especially when the tablet displays a white background, the matte screen can give the appearance of a dusty or grainy overlay. This isn't actual dust—it's just a characteristic of the matte finish itself.

      For anyone considering the matte model, it's worth being aware of this visual effect before making a purchase.

  • shroomish on 21/05/2025 - 18:03

      Interested to know this as well. Looking to ditch the iPad Pro (the only apple device I use) and move to an Android Tablet. No gaming or media consumption. Mostly PDF markups and using apps like Sketch, Concepts, etc.
      Got the ipad mainly for apps like Morpholio Trace and Procreate, which are not available on Google Play but I think I will switch to alternative apps on the Google Play store.

      Also, this one or Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ ?

        Huh, if you're using a bunch of apps like these then the Android tablet won't be for you.

        The Android tablets are awesome at general purpose tasks - but most serious tablet applications are iPad only. You won't find high quality tablet apps on the Play store.

  • Clear on 21/05/2025 - 18:14

    As a price comparison the China version goes for around A$327 with a Standard display instead of Matte (you can get the Matte for more $$$) and no pen. Obviously with the Chinese version you'll lose local warranty but do gain a better ROM in terms of features (Lenovo put only the basics in global ROM) and more updates.

      Admittedly I only have a 10.5" tablet which is lighter, smaller and cheaper than the one we are talking about here, and probably less of concern if I was to drop it or spill water on it…but I wouldn't mind trying a larger screen! I do also have a MS Surface, which is somewhat similar but battery life on that is abysmal now

    With Cash Rewards its $386.

    Please don't flame as this is not an Android vs iOS debate:
    For a 8 year old nephew who does not really care / need a 12.7" screen, would it be better to get this or iPad 11" 2025 for around $450? I understand that Apple products have a better resale value but the kid is unlikely to take good care of the tablet and hence resale might not be viable option in the future.

    The key advantage of Android is the ability to sideload Apps. Is this a significant advantage for kids who might be interest in low cost options for educational and learning apps?

      Are you in Apple ecosystem or android? Which phone do you have?

      At this age, if you are giving a tablet to your kid, what you really need is parental control. If you have an apple phone, then get an iPad and create a kids apple account.
      If you have android, then use family link to create kids account in your family manager and use that to activate this android tablet. Both tablets will have plenty of apps. Having iPad might mean,more cost of app purchases etc but you mainly need parental control.

      You can install family link on your iPhone as well. So my choice of tablet will be an android one. But keep in mind that you will have to make all the efforts to find and download any apps to sideload. Make sure to use virustotal to check before installing etc.

      • utsc on 22/05/2025 - 13:02

        Thank you; we currently have iPhones.

        • jsb on 22/05/2025 - 22:07

          I strongly suggest you to get iPad. You will have full control over kids iPad including any app purchases and you will be able to specify the screen time for the kid.

          Sideloading the apps to an android tablet is a good feature but it will be hard to find full apps with all the data for that age group especially for the apps which require in app purchases validated by the server

    How are these for long-term use on the eyes, might grab one as an ebook

    Just had a look at one on display at Officeworks. The display has a matte finish but is still very sharp.
    Will be keeping an eye out for the next deal.

    I received mine this afternoon. Very impressive unit in the testing this evening (we'll all find our own applications for this tablet, but I love the ability to tile windows of different apps… should be great when travelling and planning sightseeing). The one downside so far: the screen brightness is quite uneven and this is particularly noticeable when viewing with even slight rotation/off-perpendicular viewing of the screen.

    Got mine yesterday. The matte screen is very noticeable if there is like light shining on it directly. Otherwise very nice tablet!

    Hmmmm. You lose so much sharpness and colour with a Matte screen. Not a deal-breaker but… still.

    Yep it's very matte, so it handles reflections really well and is easy on the eye for reading and such. Trade off is that an all white screen looks quite grainy (to my eyes anyway). Looks great when watching videos and playing games or on colourful screens which is mostly what I got it for, so I'm happy. The pen is a nice bonus and works very well too.

      Yep.. can here to say likewise and to see how people are finding it… my old lenovo tab is a bit long in the tooth and doesn't support optus sport anymore..
