The Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 gives the most screen per dollar on this list. Lenovo's US store sold model ZAHD0826US for $399.99 when we checked, down from a listed estimated value of $549.99, and that bundle includes the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus and a Folio Case. The 13-inch 3.5K display (3504 x 2190) is rated at 800 nits, which suits split-screen documents and movies. Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with 8GB of LPDDR5X memory and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, plus a 10,200mAh battery with 45W quick charging, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. Lenovo puts the weight at around 598g. Its Smarter Reader app supports up to 42 document formats. The weak spots are software support and memory: Lenovo promises two OS upgrades, until Android 18, and security patches until 2030, while Samsung's S-series models get up to 7 OS upgrades. The memory is soldered at 8GB, and the 2-in-1 Keyboard Pack costs extra.
