After a few days of negotiation with AliExpress I've managed to get the successor to the previously popular Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2023 down to a good price for those after a new tablet with good specs. Unfortunately I've been unable to get a deal on the Matte display version, as stock is low across the board. Alternatively you can get the 8GB/256GB variant for US$244.14 (~A$371.65) and the 12GB/256GB variant for US$269.19 (~A$409.79).
The main improvements over the original is the newer and faster flagship MediaTek Dimensity 8300 CPU that blows the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 out of the water making it far more suitable for gaming, a brighter 12.7" 600 nits display (was 400 nits), more future Android updates (currently ships with Android 14), 45W fast charging (was 20W), the option of 12GB RAM and Bluetooth 5.3.
Other features include ZUI 16 (Android 14), 12.7" 144Hz 2944x1840 LCD display with 600nits brightness, Widevine L1 DRM, 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage with microSD support, 8GB or 12GB RAM, 10200mAh battery with 45W fast charging, 4 JBL Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 2 inbuilt mics, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, fingerprint reader, WiFi 6 ax, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, USB-C 3.2 port with 4K@60Hz video out and pogo pins for a keyboard.

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.
Thank you for the deal!
Do you have any info on what pen are they shipping? There seems to be nothing about it in the listing. I got the bundle with the pen anyway, but keen to know if I should keep looking for something better than what they ship.
