I loved this Lenovo P11 Plus tablet the first time I saw it on Friday at a decent price of $260 It vas working great at home, I moved a bunch of apps and filers and things were going well until... the battery ran out and now I was stuck with a tablet I can't use.I have tried a couple things that were suggested but nothing has wirked so far I did have some maitenance issues, mainly that I couldn't get the tablet to charge . I found a geek group who had all kinds of suggestions. I decided a reset was in order. I used to do them on my old Nook wuth some sussess. it took a couple hours before i saw the battery but I did it. The battery is now fully charged. Happy dance! and I didn't love anything but passwords. For those who are having the same problems, try somee of the easier steps furst because ahard reset in risky and you have to inow what you are doing.Yeh Geeks!

This tablet ships with Android 11, no security updates since March 2022, and no updates available. With that, it just doesn't function very well. Besides the security risk, many apps won't display in landscape, and there are just functions missing. Lenovo apparently released the Android 12 update in 2022, but it bootlooped for a lot of people, so they pulled it. I contacted Lenovo, who told me to contact Google, who of course has nothing to do with the problem. I asked Lenovo to escalate my issue and got a call back from someone who knew a little more but only said they would eventually re-release the Android 12 update. I also filed an online tech support ticket. Surprise, a few days later, I got the Android 12 update with the current security update. Now the tablet works great, the screen is bright and sharp, and everything is completely functional, though Lenovo's website says they'll provide security updates only through Nov 2023. Now the main issue for me is that, with the case, it weighs a full half pound more than the iPad with keyboard case. It's heavy enough that I sometimes just use my phone instead of dragging out the heavy tablet. Also, I find the keyboard difficult to touch type on and the touch pad just gets in my way, though I do like the adjustable stand on the back that works well on a variety of surafaces. There is a productivity setting that makes the tablet work and look like a laptop, which I don't need. So if you can get the Android 12 update, you don't mind the weight, and especially if you're looking for a work tablet, it's perfect. For more of a toy, I think I'll probably go back to the iPad.
