Your link goes to Aldi.ie where it says this is €99.99; that converts to approx £79/£80 rather than £39.99
The deal is available from the 14th ...so yes at the moment it is £79.99 but from the 14th of august it is £39.99 ...I have a leaflet telling me so

doesn't get great reviews at £80, but I'm guessing at half that price the opinions about value would change drastically!
I wonder if they'd any modding been done on these, especially a tutorial on how to root it.

Usual caveat on these - this is equivalent to the cheap Chinatabs, but you get a warranty which makes it a more tempting prospect....but don't expect it to be anything more than "Just OK" for the money.
The screen is what lets this down hugely - it's NOT HD and is rather low res.
Still, have some heat as its a low price for this specific item...`i would still strongly recommend that no-one buys one though, waste of money :wink:

Bought my 7 yr old a 16 GB Nook for £65 from eBay deals posted here (Morgan computers ) I think.
Great build,very light,superb screen
She plays games,you tube etc and really loves it,pus its an 8.9" screen
Wow cheap, always shyed away from these type and prefer named brand.
At £40, worth it? I can't decide.

I'm pretty sure a grown adult defining their success in life by how overpriced the little toy they have is is kind of a bigger pointer to having failed in life.
Anyway, forty quid for something that can access the internet with, read books on, listen to music, watch programmes on iPlayer, do emails, access websites & play games is a pretty sweet deal, have some heat.

Nothing says 'Look at what I am holding in my hand to make up for other short comings.' than a guy holding an iPad.
But all jesting aside, at £39.99 this would be fine for anyone who wants basic tablet usage on a budget, and you have a free 3 year piece of mind Aldi warranty.

this has become totally confusing here Ive been doing my best mooching around online for half and hour on this.
a search on medion s own website only comes up with the MEDION LIFETAB E7316 which is only 8gb not 16gb !
(and ive read some confusion from earlier buyers ( at £79.99) that the box says MEDION LIFETAB E7318 when actually it contains the MEDION LIFETAB E7316.

If you don't buy an iPad, it just suggests it is the best that you can afford. Ladies will avoid you, you will have to explain to your mates about the number of cores it has and how much memory is in it, about how you can add a cable to get video out etc etc. It will turn you into a bore who is constantly having to explain it.
If you have an iPad, people will think you are wealthy and know quality when you see it.

This is in the Scottish in store leaflet from last week, says valid from 07/08/14 at £79.99 - I highly doubt the price will have halved in a week - they would just just have everyone returning them so they could get the cheaper one, so cold from me, post some proof OP!

Forgive me for being so stupid, but where is the price in your picture?
Here is the link to the Aldi webpage that shows this tablet on sale, from yesterday, 7th August, at £79.99
There is no way that this will be £39.99 next week if it has *just* gone on as a special deal yesterday.
This "deal" seems to have gone hot without anyone being able to verify that it is in fact a deal.
rdtorres
8 Aug 14#65
There is the picture of the leaflet as posted. The big '£39.99' in a red box represents the price. I also have the same leaflet which says reduced special buys from 14th of august.
If there is no way this is a real deal, just pop yourself off the computer and get yourself off to bed mate.
You think its a counterfeit aldi leaflet?

There we are, some actual proof of the deal, that wasn't so hard was it now? Thanks for the photo "mate", I'll get tucked up all nice and settled now.
Seems peculiar that Aldi are selling the exact same tablet as a special buy from yesterday if they are only to reduce it by half next week. I know I wouldn't be best chuffed if I had bought this at the £79.99 - certainly worth it at £39.99 though.
Look, sorry man, wasnt trying to get smarmy with you, just that pic was posted a few pages back. Anyway, have a good weekend :wink:
meherenow
8 Aug 141#70
It's cool man, my adblock seems to have blocked the pic on the other page (although it showed up when I was looking at the HUKD app on my phone), so my bad.
I just can't believe that Aldi are trailing this as a big special buy this week only to alienate everyone by making it 50% cheaper next week - crazy marketing! Granted it's a poor tablet for £80, but for £40 it's worth looking at - that's if there's any left by next week, that will be the clincher.

8 Aug 14#71
IS it possible to buy this from aldi now at 80, leave unopened then return and rebuy/ask for price match once it goes down to £40?
If your product has a warranty and it is over 60 days old when it goes faulty contact the manufacturer for help. Sale of goods act cry your eyes out :laughing:

Not quite.
They simply recommend that after 60 days that you contact the manufacturers helpline.

I've had a look at the online special buys leaflet for August 14 and it does not mention the reduced price, although I'm sure that the OP's pics are genuine because Aldi may not want a stampede on Thursday.

9 Aug 14#76
It's legit alright. Got the leaflet through the post today and popped down to my local Aldi since I know someone who works there. Confirmed they will be going on sale on the 14th and also confirmed that it is the quadcore variant and not some marketing gimmick to get the punters in to only then mug them off with the older dual core version. The specs seem to suggest it should be fine enough for anyone wanting to browse the web, email or YouTube. Perfect first tablet for a young one aswell since it's only £40 so you won't worry as much. No idea about the build quality though but will be buying one anyway for a nephew of mine. Any video reviews on this particular tablet??

Might have been rushed out of the factory with the wrong software, it's for our 5 years olds 6th Birthday, she currently has a 2012 Nexus 7 but now shes finding her way around it and we have concerns about what she see's and this device is perfect for locking things down. Had a good play with it in case it needed to be swapped. Impressed with the build quality, case and also the Childs mode. Great little tablet, far better than the Samsung Tab3 for kids.

Thank you for taking the time to contact Aldi Customer Services regarding the Medion Lifetab, the special price promotion of £39.99 is for our new store opening in Scotland on the 14th August only.
It was released in our other stores on the 7th August priced at £79.99 and has sold out in most of our stores.
Once again thank you for taking the time to contact Customer Services and I do hope you remain a valued Aldi customer.

Just seems like a wild goose chase, not listed in any leaflets either.
Which region was the leaflet from?

I'm amazed at the number of people who went to Aldi today expecting to find this deal, after it had been explained that it was an opening offer for one store only. Do people just read the first post and ignore everything else?

Well, it wasn't actually explained at all that it was an opening offer for one store only - at least not in the first couple of pages.
Indeed, many of us, including me, were shot down in flames for daring to suggest (by using that rare gift of common sense) that this might not be an actual deal at all for the vast majority...

Not in the first couple of pages. But if you want the latest info on a deal it's best to start at the end of the thread and go backwards.
I also said this, and suggested it might be a local deal. Which is why if I'd planned to go to Aldi I'd have checked the thread first, and saved myself a trip by finding the posts from people who actually contacted Aldi about it.
It's not just this thread though, time and time again we see people commenting who have clearly not read more than the first couple of posts, and asking questions that have already been answered several times. Maybe it's just laziness.

Medium tablet E7318 (MD 98691) has a poor quality brittle screen which is not covered by the 3 years warranty. We purchased 3 sets and the three screens cracked preventing the touch mechanism to work. I assume that the screen is substandard quality and does not serve for the purpose intended if it break so easy, it is not tough enough to stand simple fall on its side. In contrast we have another 2 Ipad we purchase few years ago one for me and one for my wife they look branew. worth every penny. Do not be fooled by cheep and nasty electronics material. Excellent specification but poor material and not covered by 3 years guarantee.

Seems good value.

Puzzling.
I wonder if they'd any modding been done on these, especially a tutorial on how to root it.
The screen is what lets this down hugely - it's NOT HD and is rather low res.
Still, have some heat as its a low price for this specific item...`i would still strongly recommend that no-one buys one though, waste of money :wink:
Great build,very light,superb screen
She plays games,you tube etc and really loves it,pus its an 8.9" screen
At £40, worth it? I can't decide.

Anyway, forty quid for something that can access the internet with, read books on, listen to music, watch programmes on iPlayer, do emails, access websites & play games is a pretty sweet deal, have some heat.
But all jesting aside, at £39.99 this would be fine for anyone who wants basic tablet usage on a budget, and you have a free 3 year piece of mind Aldi warranty.

a search on medion s own website only comes up with the MEDION LIFETAB E7316 which is only 8gb not 16gb !
(and ive read some confusion from earlier buyers ( at £79.99) that the box says MEDION LIFETAB E7318 when actually it contains the MEDION LIFETAB E7316.
If you have an iPad, people will think you are wealthy and know quality when you see it.
The fruit devils marketing has clearly worked on you :laughing:
Gold diggers do :smile:
;-)
Maybe it's a local deal only, selling off some of the unsold special deals in a few stores.
Here is the link to the Aldi webpage that shows this tablet on sale, from yesterday, 7th August, at £79.99
https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-7th-august/product-detail/ps/p/7-tablet-pc-medion-lifetab-e7318/
There is no way that this will be £39.99 next week if it has *just* gone on as a special deal yesterday.
This "deal" seems to have gone hot without anyone being able to verify that it is in fact a deal.
There is the picture of the leaflet as posted. The big '£39.99' in a red box represents the price. I also have the same leaflet which says reduced special buys from 14th of august.
If there is no way this is a real deal, just pop yourself off the computer and get yourself off to bed mate.
You think its a counterfeit aldi leaflet?
Seems peculiar that Aldi are selling the exact same tablet as a special buy from yesterday if they are only to reduce it by half next week. I know I wouldn't be best chuffed if I had bought this at the £79.99 - certainly worth it at £39.99 though.

Look, sorry man, wasnt trying to get smarmy with you, just that pic was posted a few pages back. Anyway, have a good weekend :wink:
I just can't believe that Aldi are trailing this as a big special buy this week only to alienate everyone by making it 50% cheaper next week - crazy marketing! Granted it's a poor tablet for £80, but for £40 it's worth looking at - that's if there's any left by next week, that will be the clincher.
Edit:
Love their refund policy:
https://customerservice.aldi.co.uk/warranties/?tab=return-policy
If your product has a warranty and it is over 60 days old when it goes faulty contact the manufacturer for help. Sale of goods act cry your eyes out :laughing:
They simply recommend that after 60 days that you contact the manufacturers helpline.
They cannot enforce it but perhaps hope that people will follow it.
hmm i seem to recall a few years ago the london mint sending out batches of 20p coins without the date.. i guess those were fake too and not a mistake.
personally ive never come across ANYTHING with a human error on it

Are you trolling or just being a 'tard?
MrsLD fakes Aldi leaflet to receive heat and adulation from adoring HUKD fans.

Thank you for taking the time to contact Aldi Customer Services regarding the Medion Lifetab, the special price promotion of £39.99 is for our new store opening in Scotland on the 14th August only.
It was released in our other stores on the 7th August priced at £79.99 and has sold out in most of our stores.
Once again thank you for taking the time to contact Customer Services and I do hope you remain a valued Aldi customer.
The wild Haggis chase is starting
There is the following notice on the door :
Due to the popularity of the Aldi Medion tablet the following conditions of sale apply:
1. One per customer (except for MrsLD and family)
2. Customer must be wearing a kilt.
3. No sale will be made to anybody who likes The Krankies
4. Free pack of Irn Bru for the first 10 customers.
5. The tablet runs independent Android OS (version Vanilla Haggis) and does not show England on the Google Maps app.
I stand by what I said, there was NO WAY this was going to be half price one week after it had just gone on special nationwide.
OK, if it's one store then I take a little back, but not much.
Please expire this "deal".
Where are these selected stores? This is the kind of information we need when you are posting a "deal" - where do we go to buy it? None in any of the 3 stores near me at this price and I'm in Scotland so this is not an Aldi deal as you posted it and were so adamant about without checking your facts when questioned repeatedly about it.
Just a thought & may explain? :neutral_face:
Just ignore the moaners.You posted on the basis of what you knew and survived a grilling from Inspector Hamster.
There is no onus on you ringing every store to make sure the deal is available.
Didn't realise it was for a single store only :-(
Thanks to the person who contacted Aldi and found that out, solves the mystery of how they could offer it at half price a week after it was on their special buys!
Bit of a waste of time, but no real harm done.
Expire, unexpire, ping, pong, if anyone got one of these for £39.99. Game Set and Match.
