Lenovo are offering their little 7" android tablet (A1000L - $149) for just $1 extra when you purchase any ThinkPad X, T, W series laptop (excludes X131e for some reason?)

There are number of deals on the Lenovo website atm such as $70 off a Win8 Tablet when you use the coupon "CASHOFF" plus there is 30% off accessories such as the Tablet 2 dock (however I would assume that this is a usual thing to upsell to the unsuspecting.)

Details on the A1000L follow:

7" PORTABLE , DURABLE & AFFORDABLE ANDROID TABLET

The A1000L has a Dual Core CPU and a sizable battery. It will provides plenty of power for long use during the day. The internal support frame ensures protection against drops and knocks and the front speaker plays sound in the direction you want.

Features

Durable Protection

Strong physical material and design quality standards Includes internal structure includes an in-built frame that:
- supports the tablet when crushed
- secures internal components from moving when knocked
- protects against drops, knocks, scratches and breakages

Better Designed Sound

Front facing speaker is harder to design, but better – face users and not other people!
Also allows normal use when placed on a table or cushion

Complete Connectivity

Micro-USB for charging and connecting peripherals plus a micro-SD card slot for convenience and easy expandability.

USB OTG Support

USB OTG (On The Go) allows your tablet to charge and read other devices, such as USB memory sticks (OTG requires a special, optional cable).

7" HD Display

The IdeaTab A1000L's HD display offers a clear and colourful viewing experience whether indoors or outside.

Pocket Size Comfort

At 10.7mm thin and only weighing 345g the IdeaTab A1000L is a perfect size for reading, listening to music, and web-surfing and it can easily slide into a pocket when not in use.

Comfortable Design

The A1000's "ring" design emphasises its slimness while curved surfaces make it comfortable to hold.

Reliable Battery Performance

Up to 400hrs battery life for standby, above 6 hours WIFI web browsing and up to 6 hours video playback for entertainment on the go

Wi-Fi Connectivity

Stay connected with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi

Front Webcam

Video chat with friends with the 0.3M front-mounted webcam.

      It was actually briefly mentioned in the comments in Scotty's Cyber Monday post. The deal has been going on since at least November. The tablet is probably just too crappy for people to bother with.. haha.

        Darn. Sorry guys. I only searched on the actual Tablet deal. I should have checked Scotty's post!

          Ahh, but it wasn't obvious in that post, so people might still benefit from it.

  • tonyyang on 06/01/2014 - 12:27

    New Carbon X1 is out, why not wait.

    why is the coupon FREETAB when you have to pay $1 still?

    • ryang on 06/01/2014 - 12:33

      NOTFREETAB ?

      It should be $1TAB coupon instead

  • Neoika on 06/01/2014 - 13:04

    The tablet pc is not Thinkpad branded.

  • Neoika on 06/01/2014 - 13:08

    (excludes X131e for some reason?)

    Because this one the cheapest among them,starts $549.

    As long as you are happy with the worst customer service you're ever likely to encounter, the machines are passable.

    Background: Waited two months for a repair on a laptop which should have been under warranty but they disputed. At the seven week mark, they said they would repair it under warranty. They sent it back the next week with no repair attempted. Refused to do an onsite repair to rectify their problem so now it's off with the courier to Lenovo again. TL;DR no laptop since 1st November, 2013.

      That is such a shame - back in the day when Lenovo was IBM, I had the BEST customer service experience with them when my laptop needed fixing - couldn't have been better…things change

        Agreed. That's why I went with them for the last purchase. Never again though. They've been cutting corners with their laptops too, eg. ditching the magnesium plate that protects the LCD in recent Thinkpad T models.

        They did have a Customer Care team based on Brisbane who didn't have the power to do anything but at least could give you some honest information about Lenovo customer service processes and what to expect. Unfortunately, that team was disbanded during the course of this nightmare.

        • giventofly on 28/01/2014 - 08:34

          Agreed. Their quality has gone downhill. They used to be bullet proof. I still think their keyboards are the best on any laptop, but their displays are amongst the worst.

        • eug on 28/01/2014 - 10:21

          Depending on the model, you can choose a higher-quality screen when ordering.

          Someone at work just got a Thinkpad Yoga in. It's really solid and the upgraded screen is pretty good.

          Their service isn't very good though. My Thinkpad Tablet 2 took 3 months to get fixed.

  • Astro551 on 06/01/2014 - 14:42

    They seem to have this promotion going on every now and then. Last time I checked I believe you can only use one code? So you either get the tab for $1 with heavily inflated laptop prices or you get a decently priced lappy.

  • Merlict on 06/01/2014 - 14:48

    Yeesh, prices on the new T and X models are a bit steep even with the freebie

  • bhm133 on 06/01/2014 - 14:54

    Dupe??

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122844

    Also, hasn't this free tab thingy been going a while?

    Probably another "pricing error"… and you won't get your money back for a couple of months…
