Lenovo Idea Tab Pro (TB373FU)
A 12.7-inch Android tablet with a 3K 144Hz paper-like display, MediaTek Dimensity 8300, 128GB of storage and the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus included.
The Idea Tab Pro brings a genuinely large screen to Android without the bulk that usually follows. Its 12.7-inch 3K panel sits in a metal body 6.9mm thick weighing around 620 grams, driven by an eight-core MediaTek Dimensity 8300 with 8GB of LPDDR5X memory. The Lenovo Tab Pen Plus comes in the box, so writing and sketching start immediately.
This 128GB version is the sensible choice if your library lives largely in the cloud. Internal storage handles apps, notes and working files, while the microSD slot accepts cards up to 1TB in exFAT for films, photographs and anything else that would otherwise fill the tablet. It keeps the same display, the same processor and the same bundled pen.
Ideal For
You get the same 12.7-inch 3K display and the same bundled pen as the larger version, with microSD expansion covering anything the 128GB of internal storage cannot hold.
A paper-like anti-glare finish at 400 nits, together with the included Tab Pen Plus, makes marking up documents and textbooks genuinely comfortable over long reading sessions.
Four JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos and around eleven hours of streaming turn this into a capable second screen for the sitting room or a long journey.
Key Features
A 2944 x 1840 LTPS IPS panel at 400 nits with a 144Hz refresh rate and an 87 per cent screen-to-body ratio.
128GB of UFS 3.1 internal flash for apps and working files, with a microSD slot taking exFAT cards up to 1TB alongside.
The pen ships in the box rather than as an accessory, so annotation, handwriting and sketching are available from the moment it is charged.
One Cortex-A715 core at 3.35GHz, three more at 3.2GHz and four Cortex-A510 cores at 2.2GHz, with ARM Mali-G615 MC5 graphics.
Four speakers tuned by JBL and optimised for Dolby Atmos, giving films and music width rather than a thin, centred sound.
A 10200mAh battery rated for around eleven hours of YouTube streaming, charging over USB-C at up to 45W with USB Power Delivery.
The case for a 12.7-inch tablet
Most tablets settle around eleven inches, which is fine for reading and awkward for anything with two documents on screen. At 12.7 inches and 2944 x 1840, this one gives a page of text at a readable size with room for notes beside it, or a video at a size that does not require holding it close. The metal body is 6.9mm thick and weighs around 620 grams, so the extra screen does not cost as much in the bag as you might expect.
Storage that leans on the card slot
128GB of internal UFS 3.1 flash is enough for apps, documents, notes and a reasonable amount of media. What makes it workable rather than tight is the microSD slot, which accepts exFAT cards up to 1TB. The sensible split is to keep apps and active files on internal storage, where they benefit from the faster flash, and move films, photo archives and anything downloaded for a trip onto a card that can be swapped.
Writing, watching and connecting
The panel is TUV Rheinland certified for reflection-free, flicker-free and low blue light behaviour, which shows during long reading and note-taking sessions. The bundled Tab Pen Plus works against the paper-like surface rather than sliding across glass. Four JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos handle sound, the fingerprint reader is in the power button, and the USB-C port carries charging, DisplayPort output and audio. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 cover connections, with a 3-point pogo connector for a keyboard.
How It Compares
| What You Need | Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| All-day lecture notes | Bundled Tab Pen Plus | Handwriting is available from day one, with the pen supplied rather than added later at extra cost. |
| Growing media libraries | microSD expansion to 1TB | Films and photo archives move onto a removable card, leaving internal storage for apps and active work. |
| Reading long documents | 12.7-inch 3K anti-glare panel | A large, high-resolution and reflection-resistant screen keeps text sharp and comfortable through long sessions. |
| Sketching and illustration | 144Hz LTPS IPS panel | The display refreshes 144 times a second, keeping pen strokes tight to the nib rather than trailing. |
| Watching on a journey | Four JBL speakers, 10200mAh | Dolby Atmos tuned speakers and around eleven hours of streaming cover a long flight or train trip. |
| Second screen at home | USB-C DisplayPort output | The single USB-C port carries video out as well as charging, so an external display can be driven directly. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 12.7-inch 3K LTPS IPS panel at 144Hz
- Lenovo Tab Pen Plus included in the box
- microSD expansion up to 1TB alongside 128GB internal
- Four JBL speakers optimised with Dolby Atmos
- 10200mAh battery with 45W USB-C charging
- Metal body 6.9mm thick at around 620 grams
- Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and fingerprint reader in the power button
Considerations
- 128GB of internal storage fills quickly with large apps and offline video, so a microSD card is close to essential.
- The 8GB of LPDDR5X memory is soldered to the board and cannot be increased at any point later.
- There is no mobile broadband on this model, so a Wi-Fi network or phone hotspot is needed when out and about.
