Tab 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

I love my Kindles, I've had several of them since they first came out. Still use the latest version daily but I needed either an iPad or a true Android device to run a couple of specific Aps. Couldn't get the aps to work properly on a "google play cracked" Kindle, didn't want to spend $500 on an iPad. Ordered this Lenovo based on reviews, research and recommendations. Exactly what I needed/wanted! Fast, light, cheap - couldn't ask for anything more. Came with a pretty good case but I upgraded to a "child proof" case since I use the tablet to do field recordings and carry it with me most of the day. Wanted to downsize from my current 11-inch Kindle and this is as small as I will ever go but the display is large enough with great color/resolution. Battery life seems to be fantastic, I use it to occasionally browse or check email or weather, but mostly to capture data transmissions via Bluetooth and I go 3-4 days before having to recharge it.. Picture is of the tablet atop my Kindle and work iPad and then laptop. Super light, small enough to slip in a jacket pocket. Haven't found a single thing to complain about in the 3 month's I've owned it.

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

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.

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.

My use of this tablet is not demanding. I do some internet activity as well as some simple games such as cards. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge from about 10% but will last me for many days. There is a learning curve if you are used to Android with the go back and recently used app area much different to activate and I did not notice instructions anywhere on how to do that but once you figure it out it works well. The go back is to swipe the screen from right to the left and to look at recently opened apps is a swipe from the bottom to the middle of the lower 1/4 of the screen.

I've used some sketchy tablets in my day. I did feel I could be gaining more experience with that when I picked this up on sale a few months ago. I've been quite pleasantly surprised. There are quite a few negative reviews out there. The storage space is tighter than I like, but honestly adding more applications and junk defeats its purpose. Other than that, I think reviewers are expecting $1,000 tablet performance and graphics. That's not what the tab m9 is. If they want that, they'll have to pay. Similarly, the camera is mediocre by today's standards, but I have a Pixel that has a fantastic camera. I don't need another. That's all I can think to say to knock it. I've watched movies, read stories, played logic games (nothing graphicly intense) although I don't really play computer games. Browsing the web and social media are pleasant experiences. I'm taking it travelling. I'll watch a movie or two on my flight. Resolution is great for the screen dimensions. I can VPN into work, use ssh, and get a shell on machines I manage if something comes up. It does everything I need and everything runs smoothly. I don't try to crush it, I just use it. Temper your expectations and enjoy this little tablet. It is a compromise tablet for the price point. I keep it updated, running android 13. It's a pretty good deal.

You wouldn't know it from this review, but I am a huge fan of Lenovo. I have been purchasing their laptops for years... Hang on. I bought this tablet for exactly one purpose: streaming video in my truck during lunch breaks. YouTube, TikTok, that's it. No photos, no downloaded files, no games, nothing else installed beyond a couple of streaming apps. This is the lightest workload you could possibly ask of a tablet, and the M9 still can't handle it. TikTok crashes constantly -- and "constantly" is underselling it. Multiple crashes per day, every day. I'm endlessly clearing the cache and rebooting just to get through a 45-minute lunch. The apps that don't crash outright run painfully slow. The Wi-Fi is its own problem. A couple times a week I have to disconnect, reset, and reconnect just to get it working again. Between the app crashes and the network drops, I restart this thing more than I actually use it. Then there's the touchscreen. Two and a half years in, and it's degraded to the point where large sections of the screen barely register touch at all. To play or pause a TikTok video, I have to aim for one specific zone -- about a third of the way down, far left side -- or nothing happens. Scrolling and scrubbing through videos means hunting for the parts of the screen that still work. The navigation buttons are just as bad: in portrait mode they shrink into the corner, and I have to repeatedly stab at the general area of the back button and hope one of the taps lands. Weirdly, the touch response even seems to vary depending on where I am, which makes no sense but tells you how flaky this thing is. The root issue is the 3GB of RAM -- it's simply not enough to run modern apps, even one at a time. I get that this is a budget tablet, but "budget" shouldn't mean "can't stream video," which is the bare minimum reason anyone buys one of these. But hey, at least it came with a case and a screen protector. So the tablet that barely works is very well protected. Woo hoo. If I could give zero stars, I would. One star, and only because that's the floor. Run.

Great tablet for browsing and normal app use. Great android software. Websites load quickly with no lag. gestures and features are quick and responsive. Typing is snappy and quick. This is the closest to an Ipad I've found for the price. Nice textured metal backing which feels like a good weight and is sturdy. Its customizable like any normal Android tab. Not much bloatware. Overall really impressed with such an inexpensive tablet. It comes with a folding case AND screen protector which was nice. It also comes with a full charger not just the USB cable. Expandable micro usb storage -128gb capacity. Great Job Lenovo! UPDATE: Okay, so at first my initial review was accurate UNTIL the software updates. After the initial OS version, the updates were too advanced for the hardware and the performance slowed down significantly. The software features are nice but this tablet can't handle the enhanced functionality. Sometimes it takes upward of 15 seconds for the keyboard to show up when opening the web browser! When I power this thing on, I need to let it sit/boot up for a few hours before I can get anything near a normal experience. Apps crash and light internet browsing is almost tedious. I am tempted to reset the tablet back to it's original OS just to have a nice tablet again. I'm not suggesting that Lenovo rolled out planned obsolescence, but those updates ruined this device, sadly..

The inbox screen protector is difficult to install for unskilled me.

Llego en buen estado y no ha presentado ninguna falla. Es una tablet pequeña a comparación de otras y es muy fácil de transportar. Tiene buen sonido y la calidad de la imagen es muy buena. Yo la uso para poner vídeos a mis alumnos o ver películas y funciona muy bien. Es una tablet sencilla, pero bastante funcional. Una de las cosas que me agarro es que ya venía con una mica y funda.

I like because features good

Nice

Good entry tablet with more than average performance
