I bought this as an experiment and to learn more about the possibilities of an Android tablet. The fact that it was by Lenovo was good as they probably have the best website of any PC manufacturer fo getting drivers etc (I have a Lenovo laptop)The A1 was also at the bottom end of the price range also! I find that it is just fine as a book reader (Kindle and public library sources) even outdoors contrary to some reviews. I have been able to synchronise calendar and contact with Outlook on the PC - very useful. It accesses PDF's very quickly allowing me to keep manuals of cameras, motorcycles, caravans etc and other documentation readily available. Despite it being only Android 2.3, there are lots of apps that run on it and I am no way finished exploring them. E-mail and web browsing in the house is very handy and using my phone's Wifi hotspot, I can have internet access anywhere there is phone reception. I would like to upgrade to Android 4, but, at the moment, I do not seem to be able to do that. However perhaps Lenovo will offer that sometime.Read full review
Size was most important together with a built in GPS. The GPS works very well in locating my position on my old Memory maps. Sunlight is a bit of a problem for viewing. Battery life is good and internet connection is rapid. A mat screen would be better than the gloss type which seems to be more style than anything. I have yet to master typing on the on screen keyboard as I find it too easy to miskey. I have yet to see a tablet that would suit my needs better at a sensible price
The ideapad was problematic from the moment it came out the box ! The pad kept freezing, the touch screen was known responsive . When synced to the computer it would just turn itsel off. I tried loading music, books etc no joy ! All in all a very very disappointing purchase. Never again.
I bought this as a gift for my Dad and he just loves it to bits. It's a great tablet that gives you value for money.
