Re: I updated my ThinkPad 8 tablet to Tab P11 Plus, what a mistake!

Lenovo has finally delivered the promised Android 12 update originally scheduled on August. As a result, the SIM card no longer works :roll: Hopeless.

Re: I updated my ThinkPad 8 tablet to Tab P11 Plus, what a mistake!

Because there are no longer good Windows tablets (no, the MS Surface with terribly battery hungry Intel CPU isn't an option) and Microsoft has completely removed the tablet mode from Windows 11. They have given up on these kind of devices. It is impossible to do even simple tasks like getting a noti...

Well. I am still shocked because I am coming from the Windows world. The ThinkPad 8 tablet was getting regular monthly security updates for 8 years.

I updated my ThinkPad 8 tablet to Tab P11 Plus, what a mistake!

My Windows Lenovo ThinkPad 8 tablet stopped working in the beginning of the year, so I decided to try the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus tablet. It has the terrible Android, but there is no better choice (I am mentally incompatible with Apple products) these days :( The reviews were quite good and the price ac...

FS [Europe]: EM7345 4G LTE module

I am giving away the Sierra Wireless EM7345 LTE module for free, just for delivery cost. It comes from my broken ThinkPad 8 tablet. I live in Europe (Czech Republic) and I would prefer to use the Packeta delivery service, if possible. Payment by PayPal after delivery.

Re: Looking for an 7-8" tablet

Not that Samsung support would be much better. Their tablets have quarterly or biannual update cadence only. It is sad that nothing can get even close to Windows support, regular monthly updates at exact date for almost unlimited time. My ThinkPad 8 tablet got free Windows 10 update, it had 8 years ...

Re: Looking for an 7-8" tablet

Stay away from Lenovo tablets, their support is a joke. I bought Tab P11 Plus (the most expensive 6 GB RAM and LTE model). Support for security updates is 18 months only (till July 2023), latest security update is from March 2022 and the promised Android 12 update (May 31) is still not delivered. As...

Re: 2022 Thinkpads

What's the point of having such high resolutions? The physical size is restricted in a laptop, so all you'll end up doing it scaling back in software. To workaround terrible font anti-aliasing idea. The higher the resolution is, the less terrible the font rendering is. And secondly, because I can 8)

Re: 2022 Thinkpads

At least there are few 16:10 models, but the 16" ones lacks 4K option :roll: The OLED is nice, unfortunately 15"+ models having the numeric pad can "fix" the broken keyboard layout only (clustered four navigation keys). That's why ASUS VivoBook Pro 16X OLED (3840 × 2400) looks more attractive to me.

Still broken keyboard layout and no AMD Ryzen option. But it is a good start to get rid of the 16:9 idiocy.

No, not yet. Replace the Intel crap with AMD and fix the broken keyboard layout (at least to be like HP Envy layout or optional FN-ed on cursor keys).

Does WWAN (cellular mobile internet) work for anyone after the update to 2004? My EM7345 in ThinkPad 8 tablet won't connect so I had to revert back to 1909. But I admit the device is pretty outdated (no issues on my MateBook). I've read similar report for an outdated Dell laptop and Ericsson WWAN.
