Not only "Iqiyi", Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro also has some "productivity"

Sometimes you may disagree with some viewpoints, such as the phrase "buy productivity first, then buy iQiyi" when using a tablet computer. Considering that the truth is often in the hands of a few people, this sentence is actually correct.

In order to break this spell, all brands have improved their product strength for Android tablets in their own ways. The most important and common way is to provide their own products with software and hardware optimization closer to notebook computers, and Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is one of them.

As for the actual performance and productivity, that is what this article needs to discuss.

Rare flagship Android tablet

Before we know the inside, let's take a look at the skin. After all, the design of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is really good.

In fact, I think the workmanship of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro computer is very handy. The aluminum alloy fuselage built by CNC integrated molding process, although you can see the injection molding strip on the back, the overall metal texture is still very good, and the slim fuselage of 5.8mm is also more friendly. Moreover, Lenovo has prepared very suitable accessories for the machine, such as a magnetic fabric bracket (there is no package, so it can't be said to be a protective case).

Through the hole at the bottom and two anchor points, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro can be connected to an external keyboard, which makes this product more like a real windows notebook computer. Even this tablet computer supports the side fingerprint unlocking function.

It is reasonable to say that we don't need to run points for Snapdragon 870, a common mobile platform, but we are still curious about how many points Snapdragon 870 can run under a tablet computer, so we also ran a score for Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro.

Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro scored 6 16966 under tutu, 42 17 under 3DMark's wild life, and 7 10 single-core score and 2648 multi-core score on GeekBench, but this running score is no problem.

As a tablet computer, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro even has a rear dual camera,13 megapixel main camera+5 megapixel super wide angle. Of course, don't say that the parameters are poor. This is not a smart phone, so the camera performance has not been given a very high priority, and it is very awkward to take pictures with such a large tablet.

So the main purpose of this rear double camera is to solve the problem and save the emergency at some time.

Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is equipped with a screen with a resolution of 2560 1600, and it is very rare for a model to support a high refresh rate of 90Hz in an Android tablet.

Therefore, this screen still maintains a good fineness and visual fluency in a relatively large size. For users who want to buy an Android tablet, it is one of the few products that guarantee both resolution and high refresh rate, so my evaluation of this screen is still relatively high.

The more you know, the bigger the speaker, the better. So as long as you have no requirements for dual channels, just find an entry-level Bluetooth speaker that doesn't pull your hips, and crush all the current smartphones in all directions without dead ends in sound quality performance.

The volume advantage of the speaker is too unreasonable.

Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro has made a qualitative leap in body size compared with smart phones, so it can also accommodate better and bigger speakers in the body, so it has built four JBL speakers in the body, with a power of 6W. It not only meets the demand of dual channels, but also has excellent performance in loudness and sound quality, and can easily crush the whole smart phone industry at present.

Not only the quality is excellent, but also the speaker of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro seems to be specially optimized for video demand. The overall training style is very suitable for drama and conforms to the product form of the tablet computer itself. Moreover, because of the good separation, when human voices, explosive sound effects and background music appear at the same time, there will be no overall boredom that is common on smart phones.

In terms of battery life, the capacity directly comes to the 8600mAh battery of charging treasure level, which provides Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro with strong battery life, and can still maintain excellent battery life even under the long-term video demand.

Although many people play games with tablets, I personally think that playing games with tablets is actually not easy to use. This is not to say that there is something wrong with Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro, but that the screen of the tablet computer is too big, and the buttons are often a little off, which makes it difficult to use. Even if it is a custom key position, there are some keys that cannot be moved all the time. For a tablet computer, you need to leave the whole palm to click, which is sometimes fatal to the operation.

However, such a large screen and good external speakers also provide a good hardware foundation for the game experience. Therefore, in the game, whether observing the enemy's situation on the screen or distinguishing footsteps by sound, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro actually performed very well. As long as you can accept such a large volume and size, it may still be playable for some people.

"Lenovo mobile phone Pro Max Plus Ultra"?

Tablet PC doesn't need to discuss productivity, but Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro's official website product title really lays the label of "office learning", so it is logical for us to discuss its productivity.

So, under the computer mode, is the productivity of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro really strong? Compared with the traditional tablet computer, its productivity is really strong, but it is not strong compared with the real notebook computer. ZUI 12.5 system adopted by Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is an android tablet system with good optimization performance in my opinion.

I think there are two main reasons for this. One is the problem of software adaptation that everyone can think of, and the other is related to the essence of Android system.

The computer model of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is very similar to windows system at least in appearance.

Let's talk about the benefits of Lenovo's new Pad Pro computer model. In computer mode, applications can run in the form of windows, which is very similar to Windows. But at the same time, due to the adaptation and development of the software, the look and feel of these touch-screen software under the small window is actually not friendly. They are not as free to drag and enlarge windows as Windows, and are not so suitable for mouse and keyboard operation.

No matter how much it looks like a real notebook computer after connecting the keyboard, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is still a tablet computer running Android system. When using this computer's keyboard, touchpad and similar operating logic to use the product, the sense of disobedience is very obvious. The biggest reason for this sense of disobedience is that Android is a touch logic system, while the traditional computer system is mainly operated by mouse and keyboard.

For example, this is equivalent to installing a steering wheel on a motorcycle and using the logic of the keyboard touch version (or you have an extra mouse) to control the touch of the Android system. Driving a motorcycle with a steering wheel is really against the will.

The second problem is the problem of software ecology, which has been criticized for a long time by Android tablets. In fact, Lenovo has tried to optimize this problem.

The first problem is the horizontal screen. Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro has made a forced horizontal screen adaptation in computer mode. In essence, it is a bit like the way in which vertical video is converted into a banner in Weibo, and some ground glass effects are added on the left and right sides; When it is used horizontally from the beginning, the application will fill the whole screen. However, because many applications are not optimized for landscape screen, the actual content density may be very low, and it will look awkward (called Bili Bili).

Of course, it must be clear here: this is not Lenovo's problem, but the Android application on the market has not been adapted to the tablet at all. Lenovo has made efforts, but the results of its efforts are not ideal. This also leads to the application on the android tablet is no different from the application on the smart phone. The Android tablet is more like a "large mobile phone" in many cases.

Of course, this problem may not be so obvious in the computer mode of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro, but it is more obvious in the conventional mode.

Under the traditional Android interface, the performance of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is not satisfactory. After all, under this system, it is more like a large Android smartphone.

You know, it's awkward to operate with such a large screen in a very mobile phone interface, and it's inefficient and typing is not fast. So under the normal Android interface, I think Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is really a large mobile phone. However, if we only consider the demand of watching videos, I think Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is really useful. First of all, the screen is large enough and the sound quality of the speakers is good enough, so Qiqi can get excellent visual and auditory experience in the tablet while playing video.

Secondly, the magnetic bracket it is equipped with is really easy to use. No matter on the dining table, desk or bed, he can stand well, so when watching videos, he can meet your video needs almost anywhere.

So even if you have some comments or complaints about the performance in the traditional Android mode, his performance is actually excellent for this video demand.

Back to the software adaptation itself, there is no solution to this problem: it is not a technical problem, but a brand appeal problem.

As long as Apple decides on a tablet computer, software developers will be scrambling to adapt the tablet computer, and no one wants to fall behind in the adaptation competition. However, there is no brand with such appeal among Android brands, and most software vendors have no reason to adapt to tablets.

Therefore, my evaluation of the productivity of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is very clear: the productivity of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro has been significantly improved compared with the traditional Android tablet; However, compared with the real windows notebook computer, the productivity of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is still in a state of light word office.

Finally, back to productivity, I think there is no problem if Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro code word is used in computer mode. After all, the feel of this keyboard is good compared with competing products. Moreover, the voice input of Android is more reliable than that of laptop. If you adapt to voice input+keyboard modification like me, the input efficiency of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro with keyboard is actually ok.

However, this keyboard is sometimes not so pleasing. For example, in the search box, under the premise of connecting the keyboard in computer mode, a complete virtual keyboard will still appear on the screen for no reason. No matter how you use the physical keyboard, the virtual keyboard will not disappear. The coexistence of virtual and physical keyboards is an embarrassing priority, which is also a software problem.

However, the fate of my demand for android tablet still lies in the lack of software for image management and processing.

When using a windows laptop, I can manage photos and make preliminary post-color adjustment through Lightroom, or I can make detailed post-color adjustment through PSs. At present, the picture management software in Android smartphones is obviously not good enough. For example, the mobile version of Lightroom is not as simple and functional as the computer version in picture management. Moreover, in the post-processing, these application operation logics designed for touch control are not so easy to use when using keyboard and mouse. Although it is true that you can use touch directly, it is still not as efficient as a laptop.

Moreover, even if there is a mobile version of the application, it is often far from the computer version in terms of function and experience, and many functions on the computer version cannot be realized at all on the mobile version.

So, if I imagine I'm taking this Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro with me when I'm on a business trip, I think it's obvious that I got the evaluation product in advance and have already taken photos. It is more appropriate to send text and pictures together. If it is the need of editing and writing at the press conference, then the productivity of this Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro is obviously not enough. At this time, even if my waist is bad, I will choose to take my laptop on a business trip.

Productivity still has a way to go.

In all fairness, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro has, in a sense, broken through the problem that tablet computers can only "be productive before buying iQiyi". After all, with the physical keyboard and computer model, productivity before buying, and iqiyi after buying can really meet the mild needs of word office.

On the other hand, the fate of Android tablet has always been a problem of software ecology. Although the iPad has achieved good productivity in a good system ecology, the software ecology in android tablets is still very primitive and there is no reliable optimization, which is also the biggest stumbling block to limit the productivity in android tablets.

Therefore, the evaluation of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro must set the premise. Compared with the traditional Android tablet, in fact, Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro gives a good software and hardware solution, and the productivity is indeed higher; But the current Android ecosystem is very unfriendly to tablets. The inherent problems in this industry determine that Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro cannot be very productive. Not to mention the comparison with laptops, it is not as good as iPad.

On the other hand, all users want is a reliable tool. Users have no need or obligation to understand the difficulties of manufacturers, just vote with money. Although Lenovo has made great efforts in the product itself, software and accessories, the defects of Android software ecology have cruelly brought a comprehensive negative impact on the productivity of Lenovo Xiao Xin Pad Pro. As for how to solve this problem, not only Lenovo, but also the whole industry needs to work hard.
