    Nice! Not really fit to carry the Thinkpad name, but this price makes the crappy Chinese generic tablets very hard to justify.

    Should be getting ICS sometime soon

    • Mikinoz on 21/06/2012 - 17:58

      Actually quite the opposite, i use mine daily and its defiietly worthy of the thinkpad name. That being said the Thinkpad branding has diminished somewhat.

      It has ICS in the UK, soon here.

      • Merlict on 21/06/2012 - 18:59

        Unlikely in my opinion

        The license for Win8 RT (For Arm processors, similar capability to Android tablets) will cost ~$85 - setting a high price floor for manufacturers - see http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/13/windows-rt-cost/

        If you mean Win8 Pro tablets, I believe they will be priced as to Ultrabooks - probably starting at $800

          does the RT in Windows RT stand for "Really Terrible" ?

          Be careful with that - they may cost $85. They may also cost $35. Lets not spread FUD. There is no official pricing at the moment.

    • 24601jedi on 21/06/2012 - 21:15

      Stylus is battery operated (1 x AAAA) to omit an electrical signal, and is quite accurate for hand writing and drawing. Depending on the app used with, this means you won't get strokes generated by your hand/palm on the screen (e.g. Quill is great for freehand notetaking whereas the default notetaking app that ships with the tablet picks up inadvertent hand/palm movements on the screen)

      I use this tablet exclusively for notetaking at work — no more hardcopy note books!

  • orbital on 21/06/2012 - 16:54

    For anyone that has one, are the speakers sound output really low?

    Thinking of usage on flights, if plug in earphones, will you be able to hear better? or will sound still be too low?

    • salem on 21/06/2012 - 17:11
      +1

      For flights, I can recommend some active noise cancelling headphones. You put batteries in the headphones, and it cuts out the low background hum of a flight, Plus, they usually have a small amplifier in there too so if the sound output from the tablet is low, that could help boost it.

      I'd never really thought active noise cancelling headphones would be worth it, but then I got some Creative x-fi somethings on sale (thanks ozbargain!), and for my last flight to Germany the difference was amazing. Wouldn't fly without them again.

      • orbital on 21/06/2012 - 17:16

        Thanks, your comment reminded me that my mate bought some sennheiser active noise cancelling ones recently, and he was very very happy with them too!

      • nafe on 21/06/2012 - 17:34

        Absolutely +1 to this. I bought some cheap Sony ones the other week for my trip to Europe and they were a godsend. I am sure a set of $400 Bose are even better, but for $79 my Sony did me just fine (can get them even cheaper online but I left it too late).

    Is the digitizer pen included?

    • Mikinoz on 21/06/2012 - 18:00

      yes it says it in the last line ie •Extra: ThinkPad Tablet Pen (Digitizer pen) so maybe that means there is 2. If it is not included then there is an empty hole on the side of the machine with no cover :(

      • -.- on 21/06/2012 - 18:03

        The digitizer pen is standard with this tablet, but I guess if you REALLY want to be sure, you could wait until tomorrow for the rep to confirm.

  • spychiatrist on 21/06/2012 - 17:59

    Is there a 3g version on sale? Only downside based on review is the battery takes 24 hours to recharge, and i thought my galaxy tab takes forever to charge

    • Mikinoz on 21/06/2012 - 18:03

      It takes a long time although 24hrs is a bit off. Its only a few hours with the dock, but yes it is slow with the normal charger, painfully slow.

      • 24601jedi on 21/06/2012 - 21:17

        My experience suggests more like ~4-6 hours to full charge from a very low charge or flat using a USB charger

      The ipad is really nice and does what apple wants you to do. The Thinkpad tablet lets you what you want and is designed as a business tool.

      • dyziplen on 21/06/2012 - 20:50

        think pad is just branding. This is just another honeycomb tablet, and except it has a pen.

          Use one then comment

    • -.- on 21/06/2012 - 18:29

      Well main thing is the price. Then also there's a digitizer stylus. In terms of design, the Lenovo is much chunkier. It also weighs more, but it's got an SD Card port and USB port, which the ipad doesn't have. Again, it's a matter of personal preference, and whether you can justify paying more for the ipad. If you're planning to use it for work, the lenovo (with it's brilliant folio keyboard case) is the far better option. Performance wise the ipad is slightly better, again better for games and that kind of thing. Another personal preference is the OS. Some find ios quite limiting ( I certainly do :P), and it's a hassle trying to customize things and sync things to and from the ipad. Android is pretty good at doing those kind of things. In terms of apps, yes ios is superior, but Android isn't too far behind. But I guess at this price, it's certainly worth getting over an ipad. OR if you're looking at waiting for an even better android tablet, the Transformer Pad Infinity (http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-infinity/features/) will be out soon as well as the Asus Padfone (http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone), which is a completely new and I think fantastic concept.

          Indeed, I think that's where the future's at. Seamless integration between portability for on the go and performance at a desk. So you should be able to seamlessly go from your phone, to your tablet, to a dock, and a desktop computer.

      iPad
      [+] simple and intuitive GUI, lots of apps, slim and sexy
      [-] pain to type notes quickly on the soft keyboard, no Adobe Flash, proprietary OS, no expansion ports

      ThinkPad
      [+] digital stylus, lots of Android apps available, very suitable for business use, has Adobe Flash, heaps of expansion ports (including a full-size USB)
      [-] Chunkier and heavier, needs to be charged daily if used extensively

  • wtfnodeal on 21/06/2012 - 20:13

    How good is this deal compared to the toshiba 7" tablet $199 posted by the same rep weeks ago?

    • scrimshaw on 21/06/2012 - 20:59
      +1

      You're essentially paying $50 more for 3" extra inches of screen real estate. The hardware is essentially the same — 1ghz dual core CPU and Tegra2 chipset, with 1GB of RAM.

      The screen resolution is the same.

      Battery life I'm not sure. The Toshiba Thrive is reviewed and said to have a fairly mediocre battery of 5 hours (continous web browsing at 40% brightness). This would probably do better due to the larger battery.

      So it comes down as to whether you'd like your tablet large or small.

    A subscription on our newsletter is recommended. Why? Deals such as this cannot be found just by checking our site, as the discounted price only applies at checkout.

    Either Lenovo have dropped their production standards considerably or it's a refurb?

          i admit that i just sign up my account for complain because i think it is an issue for me & this company , plus from what i've seen in other forum , seems like if nothing get post public , nothing will get done

          if you wanna be Skeptical , nothing is trust worthiness on the internet untile you personally see it , feel it ,

          To update my situation , i sent in my DOA tablet last friday and heard nothing at this moment , but from the staff who email me to explain things , seems like they will need a week or more time to process , which will cost me at least 2 extra weeks without the product.

          the reason could be as they said just luck , or anything is possible , but as a customer point of view , i am not happy with 2 extra weeks of wait from my pov

          I feel for you my friend, however this is not specific to this company. Anyone can get a dud, the question is how it is handled. If after 2 weeks you have a working device in your hands I think you should be very happy. This was a great price and I'm sure there are people that would be happy to get it off your hands for that price.

          Overall Shopping Express do not have any reason to sell a defective product, it is in their interest for you to be a happy. A return process costs them money. Moreover not sure where they are getting you a unit since those units sold out fast!

          Keep us posted on how it goes.

          Please message your ticket id to me, and let me have a look at your case, so that i can find out if we did something wrong to deserve such a big question mark about our credibility. From what i know, in most of our DOA cases, you should get a replacement dispatched within 1 week after we've received your unit (condition: as long as we have stock on hand, if not we will need to get the replacement elsewhere, which may result in requiring at least another 2 to 3 more working days). If it is non DOA, it could take longer time, as it will need to be repaired or replaced by the vendor after we send the faulty product to them.
          For your case though, i am pretty sure we will be able to send you a replacement pretty soon. If you are worried, you can always email us to find out the status, or call us if urgent.
