Test conclusion: you have to know that
The Aldi tablet is not a full-fledged notebook replacement, but the Medion LifeTab P10912 can be used. The price of 289 euros is quite cheap for the performance offered. Comparable LTE tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 cost well over 300 euros without a keyboard and pen.
Per
- High contrast display with acceptable brightness

satisfying
VMany users mainly use their tablet for surfing, shopping and watching movies. With the Medion Lifetab P10912, which will be available in all Aldi branches from July 1, 2021, it should be no different. But the discounter also includes a keyboard cover and a pen. Is it even suitable as a notebook? COMPUTER BILD had the Aldi tablet Lifetab P10912 in the test.
Lifetab P10912 put to the test: Popular 10-inch format
More than 75 percent of all tablet buyers today choose a 10-inch model – the 10-inch Lifetab P10912 fits perfectly into the loot scheme. The technology is in an inconspicuous plastic housing without accents, so it’s not a visual treat. This also applies to the display.
It does show content with acceptable brightness, so that users can see something on the screen even outside in a lot of sun. The contrast is also okay. When it comes to color accuracy, however, the Aldi tablet is not so precise. That doesn’t interfere with surfing and watching movies, but it does with photo and video editing.
No rush!
But that is not the strength of the Medion anyway: Elaborate image processing with performance-hungry apps such as Photoshop is a challenge for the tablet, so patience is required here. However, the performance is sufficient for simple Internet and office tasks such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint. The included keyboard and touchpad help immensely.
With LTE, poor cameras
If the owner takes it out of the backpack while on the move, the Lifetab goes online via LTE – provided that there is a SIM card and network coverage. And the battery lasts almost eight hours without a socket even with intensive use. The memory is scarce at 64 gigabytes, but can be expanded by 1 terabyte using a microSDXC card. Nothing can be changed about the mediocre cameras.
