Editorial note

The Lenovo IdeaTab S8 stands out for its smooth performance thanks to its Intel Atom® Z3745 quad-core processor, which efficiently handles everyday tasks. Its 8-inch screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, ensures a pleasant display quality, making the overall user experience satisfactory. Additionally, the battery life of up to 7 hours is adequate for daily use, although it may not be sufficient for heavy users. However, the product also has notable drawbacks. The internal storage capacity limited to 16 GB may prove insufficient for those who need to store many files or applications. The RAM of only 2 GB can lead to slowdowns when running multiple applications simultaneously. Furthermore, the lack of USB 2.0 ports and an HDMI port limits connectivity options. Finally, the Android 4.4 operating system, while functional, is relatively old and may pose compatibility issues with modern applications. In summary, the Lenovo IdeaTab S8 offers good value for money and satisfactory performance for general use, but its limitations in storage and RAM, as well as its outdated operating system, may restrict its appeal to some users.
