    Processor seems fairly entry level. Other specs seem ok.

    • adrianhughes1998 on 14/07/2017 - 19:51

      Processor sucks so 199 is a fair price. JB usually price match so that's a bit out of character for.them.

        I think this is one of those deals that if you woke up this morning needing a new, big, budget tablet, this is good. Not a great impulse buy.

        Good res and wireless access is nice too.

    You should have tried your luck with a pricematch at Officeworks https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/lenovo-tab…

      I went to Goodguys near home but they only had a display model. Drove 10 min and price matched at OW! Thank you.

  • Fiximol on 14/07/2017 - 20:21

    I bought one for $220 and this is quite good for what I use it for - video, web browsing, and hearthstone. The processor is indeed a low end soc so some apps are a bit slow though I have not noticed this affecting me in a tangible way.

    A side note to this is that the lenovo tab 4 is due sometime soon with snapdragon processors so it might be best to hold off if you are able to.

    • ozhunter68 on 14/07/2017 - 20:56

      Hold off for the Lenovo Tab 4/plus if you are able to, and if you are prepared to spend an extra $50 to $150 + or so more.

      Would like to know if this discounted model will ever see Android 7 ? If so, Lenovo will most likely wait three or more months
      just to keep their latest model premium. This tab running on Nougat would make it a decent deal for the price.

      • nzcoops on 14/07/2017 - 21:54
        +4

        Yeah but an extra $150 is a totally different part of the market, nearly twice the price, so not a relevant comparison.

    • noone on 14/07/2017 - 21:04

      But tab 4 is 1280x800 screen and 16gb

      • Fiximol on 14/07/2017 - 21:13
        +1

        There are 2 models: tab 4 and tab 4 plus. The plus is the one to look for.

        I am happy with the screen when reading webcomics and watching videos. You should be able to get a hands on in a brick and mortar whether it is good guys, jb or officers.

  • Sven Nijs on 14/07/2017 - 21:48

    If this isn't that great a device, based on comments above, what better 10" tablet options are there at this pricepoint (ideally locally)?
    That said, this has to be better than the Acer Iconia A3-A10 we currently have…..

    • voter1 on 15/07/2017 - 00:03
      +1

      the cpu isnt actually all that much different - they are both MTK cheaper ones - not snapdragon…

      http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5700&idPhone2=…

      however the slowness of your acer probably comes from the 1gb ram and not the cpu.
      at least this one has 2gb ram.

      and yes the problem is there are not many 10" tablets available for a cheaper price these days- seems to be out of fashion.

      Your other 2 options really are only going for something a bit faster
      https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-tab-a-101-t580-16gb-wi-…

      like this - and paying the extra money for a little extra speed.

      or going for a decent chinese brand thing from banggood etc.

      https://www.banggood.com/Cube-Iwork10-Ultimate-64GB-Intel-At…

      something like this

      • thunder tiger plus on 15/07/2017 - 00:39

        Samsung A10.1 is a better tablet than Lenovo Tab3 Premium, better cpu, screen, ram and battery. But it's more expensive, wait until ebay discount (I got one from kogan ebay with 20%off).

        I don't recommend cube tablet which are not in good quality, and probably waste your time to fix issue or claim warranty.

        • Fiximol on 15/07/2017 - 10:09
          +1

          The Samsung A 2016 is a better performing tablet with three exceptions: price, internal storage and front facing camera resolution. Whilst the lenovo tablet camera SUCKS for taking pictures the higher resolution front facing camera matters for video calls, and the extra 16gb of storage is extremely useful.

          If you are going to spend $300+ on the Tab A, you may as well spend $360 on a zenpad 3s 10.

      • paulaus on 31/07/2017 - 09:04

        I don't think above tabs you mention will have battery life as good as the lenovo tab if that's important to you. Gets over 7 hours of video playback.

    I have one of these. Slow, frustrating piece of crap. Doesnt get updates either. I gave it away to my 2 year old who often puts it on the ground and stands on the screen. Its that bad I dont care.

    Having said that its actually quite sturdy and the screen isnt even scratched after all my son's abuse.

    • montorola on 14/07/2017 - 22:38

      Why don't you put it in your car?

      • serpserpserp on 15/07/2017 - 19:39

        Why would you put a tablet in a car?

        • montorola on 15/07/2017 - 20:06

          As one of those infotainment screens, music player, navigation etc

    • loropy9 on 15/07/2017 - 00:27

      You made me laugh with your 2year old standing on the tablet. I had to buy a new tablet when my 3year old threw my old Samsung Tab and the screen got a permanent turqoize shade.

        Perhaps count it as a blessing, it's the damage that devices do to the children growing brains that is worse. Not immediately apparent, but the outcomes can be wildly unexpected and quite extraordinary.

        Perhaps there is little point having such young children begin able to interact with internet enabled devices anyhow. It may seem a good thing but for many, learning to use anything running an OS that when they start school will be so archaic and afford no valuable skills or them to apply and thus have nothing to do with understanding the technologies and challenges they will be needing to navigate later in life.

        All that can happen is exposure to dangerous content, social, remote experimentation by malfeasants, corporates and all sorts of organisations with dubious ethics, are only interested in tempting world+dog to open up so they can pay off their investors through consuming and cataloguing their lives, not to mention stealing more of the new generations' opportunities than they have stolen from the last…

        Much better to give them a wooden train-set, jenga blocks and a few paper books, and lock them in a RF-shielded box with just holes for all the necessary I/O, if you can.

        Both the same Tab 3 range so comments is very relevant.

        • Fuzor on 15/07/2017 - 11:17

          You're kind of comparing a lower priced camry to an aurion for engine size because they both share the same platform

    • athua on 14/07/2017 - 22:44

      Is it the one with the blue frame?
      If so, turn of 'Scanning always available' in the Advanced WLAN settings and the battery life improves a great deal. It seems that is the source of most battery problems on the Lenovo 7 Inch tablet.

      • noise36 on 15/07/2017 - 09:26

        Yeah was that one. Sold it on as it was dead every time I wanted to use it.

        • bozbargain on 15/07/2017 - 09:50

          Have the same one, battery was good and kept its charge but then went terrible after a few months. Got a replacement one through OW which I've used during the school holidays which has been good so far but will have to see how it lasts. Could it be that the battery gets damaged over time by using an 2.1A iPad charger?

    Have one i purchased a couple of weeks ago for the wife from Officeworks which was $270 at the time. At $199 i reckon this is a decent deal. Sure the processor isn't the fastest available but it's a decently put together spec, good speakers, decent screen, decent build quality and a fairly vanilla Android version.

    I've been using this device since December 2016, it's decent for around the home tablet. Decent device for watching 1080p content and browsing the web. The processor does lag a little bit when switching between apps or loading applications, but it doesn't bother me since its only secondary device. I don't play games on it, can imagine it being more under powered for that purpose.

    The android build is very much stock with very little customization. It supports adaptive storage on the microSD card slot, so I have a 128GB card in there as internal storage. The default launcher supports some basic multi window function, hope it gets Nougat update but not holding my breath for one.

    I received an android systems update recently which seems to have broken the play store, I had to factory reset the tablet to get it to work again.
