It's never too late to join the ever-growing craze of computer tablets, and the latest one to hit the markets is the [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-tab-plus) IdeaPad P1.

Lenovo has always been one of the most reliable computer companies, so it's a bit of a surprise that it's taken a bit of time to release its own tablet. Now the company is showing off a slick 10.1-inch Lenovo IdeaPad P1 that may rival the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-pad-3) iPad and its competitors. You'll be getting a 1.5 GHz [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-thinkpad-x9-15p-aura-edition) processor, 64 GB of SSD storage, built-in Bluetooth, a USB 2.0 connector and more. In terms of batteries, it's a two-cell that should last up to six hours of use. It should be interesting to see how the other companies will react to this new release.
