In the past, the two most commonly used productivity devices in study and office were notebooks and laptops. One of these two notebooks is a paper notebook for taking notes; the other is a laptop. However, with the increasingly powerful processor performance and lower power consumption of mobile platforms, as well as the continuous advancement of stylus technology, tablet computers have gradually been widely used in many scenarios. After all, they have a series of advantages such as large screen, portability, keyboard connection, and long battery life.

In the notebook field, Lenovo is a brand that cannot be avoided. It is well-known to everyone and has a very high market share. So today, IT Home will take you to experience Lenovo's latest large-screen tablet product - the new generation Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7.


Exterior

The packaging is very personalized, with the eye-catching Shin-chan LOGO printed on the white main body, which is fresh and energetic.


The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 uses an all-metal integrated body created using a stamping process, as well as highly recognizable family-style 2-tone design elements.


The delicate texture on the metal shell is faintly visible, and it continues the iconic collision design of the Xiaoxin tablet. The entire metal body has undergone a fine sandblasting process, and the look and feel are quite excellent.


The top area is the magnetic area of ​​the stylus, and there is a small mark indicating the direction of the magnetic attraction of the stylus.


The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 uses a symmetrical four-speaker design, supports Dolby Atmos, supports cellular data, and is equipped with a SIM card slot on the side.


The bottom of the body has contacts for connecting to the keyboard and a magnetic buckle for fixing it.


Looking at the front, it is a large 12.7-inch screen. The design of the screen takes into account the symmetry of the front and rear R angles, which makes the viewing experience very comfortable.


Considering that a tablet of this size requires a certain degree of grip stability, the frame is made as narrow as possible while ensuring the grip feel, maintaining a balance between appearance and practicality.


Moreover, the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 has eliminated the plastic bracket on the front of the screen, and combined with the all-metal body, the texture of the whole machine has been greatly improved.

Hardware Configuration

As a 12.7-inch tablet, it goes without saying that it must have certain productivity attributes.


In terms of hardware, the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is equipped with the "golden performance triangle" of Dimensity 8300 + LPDDR 5X + UFS 4.0. The AnTuTu score can easily exceed 1.3 million, which is still very powerful.


In addition to its powerful performance, the most productive feature of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is its 12.7-inch large screen. This LCD screen has a resolution of 2944*1840, 273PPI, a refresh rate of 144Hz, and supports DCI-P3 wide color gamut and 10-bit color depth.


The DC dimming of the LCD screen is very friendly to the eyes, and the screen of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 also supports color temperature adaptation.


Considering that this screen is not only large but also of good quality, it can be said to be a magical tool for watching TV series in your spare time. Therefore, Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is also specially adapted to the picture quality of commonly used video websites, such as Frame Movie, Dolby World, HDR True Color, etc. on websites such as iQiyi, Bilibili, and Youku, which can bring a better viewing experience.


It is worth mentioning that the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 also launched an anti-glare, non-reflective, and more eye-friendly comfortable version, which can reduce 95% of reflected light and has passed the German Rhine TÜV non-reflective certification.


The reduction of glare can better protect the eyes. In addition, the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 Comfort Edition has also passed the German Rhine TÜV hardware-level low blue light certification, the German Rhine TÜV flicker-free certification, etc., to protect the user's eyesight to the greatest extent.


In addition, another additional effect of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 Comfort Edition is that it can bring a paper-like writing experience. Combined with a 9.6ms ultra-low latency stylus, it can provide a writing experience close to that of paper.


In terms of audio, the entire Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 series is equipped with four JBL speakers, which can provide independent four-channel surround sound and support Dolby Atmos, which can bring a better viewing and conferencing experience.


As a device with certain portable attributes, battery life is naturally an important part. The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is equipped with a large 10200mAh battery. IT Home tested that under Wifi environment, it played online videos for about 1 hour at 50% brightness and the power consumption was about 9%. In total, it can play online videos for more than 11 hours.


In terms of charging, the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is equipped with 45W super flash charging, which can charge 80% of the power in 60 minutes.


Performance Test

Although the size of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is no longer suitable for playing mobile games, and it is not positioned as a gaming tablet, we still have to run "Genshin Impact" to see how its performance is.




With the image quality maxed out and motion blur turned off, the game ran for 20 minutes on Xumi City and the average frame rate was 59.1, which is very stable.

And if you occasionally need to edit videos, you can use the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 to edit videos, and the performance is completely ok.



In actual tests, it took 24 seconds to import a 1-minute 4K resolution video material, perform simple editing and color grading, and then export it at 1080p resolution, 30 frames, and the recommended bit rate.

Efficient connectivity

In fact, as a mobile device, performance and battery life are of course crucial, but ease of use is also an important factor in determining the experience. I believe many people have experienced the situation where they are out and about, and they need to edit the files they received on their mobile phones, but they cannot find a suitable way to transfer them to their computers.

In order to solve this pain point, Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 brings a new super-connectivity, coupled with a series of practical functions that break through device barriers, greatly improving the experience.


Open the "Super Internet App" and you can see a series of Internet functions. IT Home will show you some practical functions that can solve daily pain points.

1. File transfer station

As the name suggests, it is to transfer files between different devices. With this function, there is no need for a USB flash drive or data cable. You only need to drag and drop to edit files synchronously on devices logged in to the same account.


Whether it is photos taken with a mobile phone when you are away from home or documents sent in a WeChat group, they can be shared quickly, greatly improving the collaboration between devices and the efficiency of working away from home.


IT Home has tried various file formats including documents, pictures, videos, etc., and the actual experience shows that the stability is still very good.


2. Application Delivery Station

Nowadays, there are a lot of mobile apps, but some apps are only available on mobile devices. When working on a computer, you often need to pick up your phone or tablet to operate them, which not only interrupts your train of thought, but also provides a poor operating experience.


With the help of the Application Transfer Station, you can directly use a laptop to open the app on the tablet, but the computing power used is still the tablet's computing power, which does not occupy the laptop's resources. The most important thing is that you will not be interrupted while using the computer for work, and the operating experience is continuous and smooth.


3. Equipment hub

The 12.7-inch screen of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 can not only be used alone, but with the help of the device hub, it can also instantly become a secondary screen of the notebook. It is no longer a dream to set up dual screens anytime and anywhere in the library. You just need to select it here.




In addition, you can also transfer the laptop's keyboard and mouse to the tablet, so that you can use one set of keyboard and mouse for two devices.


With this set of super interconnected functions that break through device barriers, the usage scenarios of tablets have been greatly expanded. For example, college students do not need to bring computers to class. They can use tablets to take notes, shoot PPTs, and take materials. After returning to the dormitory, they can use the file transfer station to transfer the day's data to the computer, and then set up a dual screen for efficient organization.

Intelligent Assistant

By the way, I would like to add a lazy little function here, that is the “personal assistant” Lenovo Xiaotian.


If you run out of ideas when writing a paper, you can write a rough draft first, and then give it to Xiaotian to help "polish" it. This way you may get new inspiration.



And if you come across difficult English literature, you don’t have to look it up word by word as before. You can just give the entire paragraph to Xiaotian, and this thoughtful little assistant will translate it into Chinese for you.


How about it? Isn’t it very helpful to improve efficiency?

In addition, the smart split-screen function of the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 is also very easy to use. It is no exaggeration to say that you can get a split-screen and window experience comparable to that of a computer, which is very useful for taking online classes and looking up information.


Summarize

In general, as a large-screen portable device, Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 has good performance, excellent screen, and a series of efficient interconnection and AI functions. It is a very good device for daily use, whether it is used for work when going out or for watching TV series in your spare time. Not to mention that with the keyboard and stylus, it can also achieve the effect of "multi-tasking", which can effectively reduce the burden on the backpack.


If you happen to have certain light mobile office needs, or your children at home need to take online classes or study, then you might want to consider this large-screen tablet, especially its comfortable screen version, which is very suitable for teenagers and can effectively protect eyesight.
