Or buy a carrier bag to take it over £100?

Has already been posted but still good deal. Purchased white one the other day and comes with 2GB ram not 1GB. I asked if they would give me £10 gift card but they said i had to spend £100 to qualify so they offered to charge me £100 instead of £99,99 for tablet which would allow me the £10 gift card. Obviously i accepted this.

I bought one of these a while ago for my youngest daughter, it has been spot on so just purchased another for my older daughter. it is definitely 2gb and I bought this case from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01BSK2AOE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477845485&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=lenovo+tab+2+a10-30+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51RMlufbgIL&ref=plSrch which has been great.

FOLOS SMART PU LEATHER CASE STAND COVER FOR LENOVO TAB 2 A10-70F A10-30F 10.1

no one help? no ones bought a case?

Sorry just seen This and no its all ok now, I'm after a case, but ones off eBay state 2014 and 2015 model the 2016 model we all seem to have isn't listed ?

Hi, after the factory reset, did you have a problem with it restoring apps from google restore?

Got this deal the other day and for the money this tablet is more that adequate for my needs (browsing,youtube,casual games) also it's just updated from android 5.1 to 6 using the over the air updater

I have been using this since the last Tesco deal when it was £120. It's good for watching TV, browsing web and using apps, but it not so good for gaming. I'm big into gaming, but I bought Hitman for 10p and find it tediously slow to load each game. Great for the size and price.

For the record I'm not anti-brexit just making the point in this forum which is about value for money that tech goods will increase in price in the future because of the value of sterling. We are going through a period of adjustment as existing stock of imported goods in the UK are depleted and replaced with new imported stock at a higher price.

Thanks but bought it 1 year ago for 99 quid from amazon so it's not getting cheaper!

Re post 137.
If you are a British importer then that is why you have banks and foreign exchange contracts to lock in your profit now, for buying x amount per Month in the future .
I'd sterling falls then that makes our exports more competitive. In the developing world like China we will always be able to buy more for the pound and any difference/increase will be negligible.However fuel/oil is in dollars so if we fall against the dollar we will notice fuel prices increase.
Brexit is the best thing that ever happened to this Country, when the 2 years take effect?_Unlike the Euro which is a ticking time bomb waiting to implode. One of the rules of finance is you cannot buck the market, which is the Evil EU will never suceed.As a side note solar panels are cheaper in China but we are not allowed to buy them because of the Evil EU wants the prices higher. Which is hypocrisy for the Greens but that is another debate.

Looking at the spec about 10,000 mips for cpu performance and 21.6 gflops gpu performance but you only have 1.5GB main memory.

Lenovo A10 30 is about 8,300 mips for cpu and the same 21.6 gflops for gpu performance

Lenovo A10 70 is 13,800 mips for cpu with 47.6 gflops gpu performance

ebay octacore tablet for reference is 24,300 mips for cpu and 44.8 gflops gpu performance. However battery life is inferior and 8 core cpu's are harder to get efficient use of.

My existing Finlux tablet which came free with a tv and I'm finding too slow is 7,600 mips and 22.4 gflops.

The Lenovo A10 70 tablet is the one to get , decent battery life and full hd display plus a good chipset including decent gpu performance. It's a premium spec without any real compromises.

Thinking of buying this Tablet.
Should i go for this one or the Samsung Galaxy Tab E Quad Core

My point is before if you looked at aliexpress and looked at the price of a UK importer price often you'd pay over the top to buy from the UK but you'd benefit from fast delivery and a full guarantee for 12 months. I bought a tablet from aliexpress for something like £48 that I could have got from ebay for about £75 from a UK importer about a year ago.

However you look at this;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142167066332?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

But on aliexpress its;

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-6-HIPO-A106T-Allwinner-A83T-Octa-Core-Android-5-1-Tablet-PC-1-8GHz-2GB/32714731380.html?spm=2114.01010108.3.27.ZBq8MD&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2,searchweb201603_1&btsid=6799a605-05c7-4b4f-a91e-88a90f14bd6d

Now of course with aliexpress there is absolutely no delay in the exchange rate effecting you. You pay the exchange rate of the day.

If I'm a smaller uk importer and lets say order 500 tablets of which I sell 20 a week that's 25 weeks of stock or half a year before I'm hit with new exchange costs.

I just feel we are in for some adjustment in the new year and lets face it we haven't even started brexit yet and left Europe where sterling may drop further.

Re post 135. Aliexpress are like a Chinese eBay . It depends on the merchants who advertise. Some prices are expensive others cheap ,others are bargains .

Aliexpress are doing a flash sale over last several days , at different times of the day where they notify you of
the item you are interested in 10 mins before it becomes available. By which time you are in bed or missed it !

They have another offer of 90 per cent off items , but I have found nothing interesting . It is worth looking though . What I like about most of these Chinese offers is they include free shipping , as opposed to eBay where the P and P can make the product uneconomic .

I bought a memory card reader from China for 0.66 Euros delivered. You could only buy a stamp here for that.

Noticed something weird on Aliexpress which I have bought from before. It seems with the £ not buying as much as it did in the past many of their prices are much higher than previous to the point that many retailers in the UK with existing stock from past orders actually can seem as cheap if not cheaper. It's pretty clear into 2017 prices are going to increase. Unless aliexpress have increased prices because of their upcoming 11/11 sale day. Black Friday may be the last chance to get some serious tech bargains.

Back up to £119. I was going to buy one for my son's Xmas present, checked on Argos yesterday, £99. Thought I'd wait until I got into work today.. Lucky Dave

Working now thank you. No idea what happened to the first tablet as tried wipe data factory reset. Luckily argos exchanged with no issues

First time i installed it stalled when rebooting,just turn it off and power on again and it load ok.

After that the tablet would not startup. I rebooted again in this mode and then chose "wipe data/factory reset".

This is what i did as the update wipes the tablet clean anyway.

Thanks. I am on my 2nd tablet know as the other one was getting stuck at the boot screen.

The tablet directory appeared this time, and have transferred the file across. I am now applying the update from internal sdcard so fingers crossed it works this time.

I downloaded this one straight to the tablet from the browser is that the one your trying to d/load ? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzuYCartjGOORWV6azUySE9uV0E/view

If it still doesn't work you could try another usb cable as some are for power only not data transfer.
Final option put the file on an sd card and stick that in the tablet.

Connect your tablet to the laptop with the USB cable then drag the file you downloaded onto the downloaded folder on the tablet.

Probably a stupid question but how to do I get the file onto the tablet? I have it on my laptop and downloading on the tablet keeps failing.

It's still ok today on their terms it says 1st November.
Thanks op just bought this.

Bought last month at £109 - has 2GB ram - would recommend.

Does the £10 voucher end today 1st November?.... or was it yesterday?

Don't need it. I already have just over a 10incher

once you go 1920x1200.. nope
lg gpad 8.3 user from 04/2014 bought for £119 brand new from tesco. if the current tablet cant beat them specs from then, i wouldn't bother. my daily driver, got my moneys worth out of it and more :smiley:

£100 for an underspecced, non updateable android device.

yup deffo hotukdeals hivemind voting, the better specced full hd was £119 last year with £30 free google play credit

picked one up this morning and its 2gb thanks op

Saw this on ebay. Larger higher resolution screen, faster 8 core cpu chipset, more powerful gpu. Looks like inferior cameras and unknown battery life though. Probably somewhere between the 30 and 70 in both screen quality and performance.

Not a recommendation just showing what other options are available.

Also this all singing and dancing 4G and 4GB phablet for £109.99 but operating time is much less than the Lenovo.

so is this worth getting or not I'm confused

Sorry, could you make that a bit bigger please? ;-D

Or Nexus 7 2013 32gb? Present for Oh which is best?

​i can see your point

The 1gb is previous model no 4689843 price reduced from £1000 ? lol to £109.99 but HD. The blue version no 531/ 566 is also a Tab 2 as I got one 2 wks back £109.99 & it says so on box, but this is not an HD , the HD version is £179.99

HDMI cable far better as no buffering

2gb RAM for me. I added some wrapping paper to take it over the 100 mark.

This is what I plan to do tomorrow when picking mine up, unless I have changed my mind by then that is...proper on the fence about this now :man:

One direction calendar for cheap toilet roll

Run the ota update BEFORE you start using it, get it upgraded, let it do its housekeeping then do a full factory reset THEN set it up for use.

If you set it up, load apps then upgrade it seems to be those people that suffer all kinds of horrible problems.

Much appreciated! Cheaper than fixing my old tablet!

I went to customer services and asked them to bring one out before I bought it, they had 3 brought out, all were 2gb. How about reserving one and going and having a look instead of surmising if it's 1gb or 2gb. You won't know if you don't have a look!

done that and now it wont boot?

EDIT you have to go back in and factory reset and then it works thanks!

According to Lenovo upgrade plans this tablet will not see upgrade to marshmallow (version 6.0)

https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/tablets/a-series/a10-30-2/solutions/HT501098

Maybe somebody could install some type of free memory app so we all know for certain if it`s 1GB/2GB?? looking like 1GB

and 1gb in the specs lower down

This says 1GB Ram up the top and 2GB in the specs

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-Tab-2-A10-30-10-1-Inch-1-3GHz-1GB-16GB-Android-5-1-Wi-Fi-Tablet-White-/351842848957#rwid

​I have bought one a couple of months ago and one today and both are 2gb

​on the label of mine I have just bought today it says Display: 10.1 1280*800 IPS

Its marshmallow but for some reason the OTA update is broken and wont install.
You can either wait till they fix it or download from the above link.

its the TB2-X30F_S000018_160715_ROW_TO_TB2-X30F_S000113_160816_ROW is the one i cant install?

Im guessing as its about 1gb in size its a major android update.....is it faulty?.....is it worth getting it replaced ?

Download the full firmware here and follow the instructions to manually update it.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets-and/tab2-a10-30-failed-update/td-p/3416221/page/2

Its definitely looking like 1GB ram. Also seen here on ebay argos:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-Tab-A10-30-10-1-Inch-LED-1-3GHz-16GB-1GB-Wi-Fi-Android-5-1-Tablet-Blue-/351842848940?hash=item51eb77d0ac:g:gtEAAOSw44BYC-zu

Bit cruddy if only 1GB ram. Probably worth 60 quid i'd say.

any one please tell me what the screen resloution is on the 2gb version everyones getting

im having trouble updating........downloads the update,,, i click install and the tablet reboots and goes to the recovery utility to install the update that aborts due to a failure of some sort....ive factory reset a few times to see if that cures it and nothing.

is there a way to flash manually using sp flash?

No lenovo have removed that feature from their version of android for some strange reaso

I have this (the lower spec, which everyone's moaning about) and the one you will probably receive....
it's great for the price. Good picture / sound quality....
great for the kids.
hope this helps someone :smiley:

Been thinking about this as a comic reader.

Great deal but I'm always cautious of buying any for myself before Christmas.

Heat!

I bought one of these a while ago for my youngest daughter, it has been spot on so just purchased another for my older daughter. it is definitely 2gb and I bought this case from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01BSK2AOE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477845485&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=lenovo+tab+2+a10-30+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51RMlufbgIL&ref=plSrch which has been great.

I had a look around and it's not quite as good as the HUDL2 CPU on benchmarks, this also has 2GB. So see no point in getting it.

My old 10 inch tablets have 2GB and Tecra4 which according to benchmarks is still faster, just. Though can push the high DPI 10" screens, this processor cannot.
I don't think it's quite as fast or is pretty similar to the old Nexus 10 but with lower resolution. For anyone thinking about a new 10" or remembers them.

Still for 100 quid it's a nice 10" browser for everyday jobs.

People here are saying it's 2GB. Even the image showing the specs. Gotta love Argos.

Is that right? ive just used the chat feature on the website and they said its a typo and the tablet is 1GB.

Check argos eBay as I have already bought 2 as presents. £79. Also both blue and white versions received are both 1.5ghz and 2gb ram.

anyone know where i might get one of these babys with 4g please?

I wouldn't get this simply because at 10 inches with 1200×800 this will have adverse affect when reading text and possibly watching hd videos....will be blotchy. Ok it's got 2gb but screen is poor.

Same deal posted 3 days ago
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lenovo-tab-a10-30-10-1-inch-16gb-tablet-argos-for-99-99-2535345#comments

ps any good cases!!??

2gb memory and hd screen and used £20 nectar points.

Sorry, meant available until the 1st Nov. Corrected now :smirk:

Thanks op
Just picked one up..bargain :smiley:

Does this tablet OS have ability for multi user accounts?

Can't open your pic what is the model number

Just picked up the blue one, it's 1,3ghz, 2gb ram and the £10 voucher is valid until December 1st

just reserved one for collection and added the 2016 family guy annual for 29p to take me over the £100 :smile:

But he way, my £10 Argos voucher is valid until 1st December 2016 not 1st November as stated in the title so it could well be an posting error by op. Anyone else got the same? :laughing:

I bought blue one last week 25/10 paid £119.99 never even got a voucher, will I get one now if I produce my receipt

Is the blue one a tab 2 ? Listing does not say. Thanks

Gone for the Blue one with the case offer, received a £5 off over £20 spend from Sainsburys to be used in store at Argos yesterday too. Bonus.
Should be a decent enough replacement for my old N10

I do like a lucky dip.

upload your pic using tinypic.com. Then post the url here .

Buy a pack of light bulbs for £1.99 to get amount over £100.00......

​showing at £149 at john Lewis I personally think the extra £10 over the tesco price is worth the extra warranty

That was definitely a major bargain. A pretty premium spec apart from the gpu which is at mid-level performance.

Sorry ignore me for some reason some sites are stating a mediatek chipset in this tablet but going by Argos description it is a more capable qualcomm chipset at least for the gpu. Maybe that is the difference they have upgraded the SOC now for this model to improve gpu performance. Seems a better deal although still think the A10-70 is worth the extra at Tesco.

I bought the A10-70 when it was on offer for the £99 can't recommend it enough great tablet for the price.

I have bought the white version and it says its 1.3 GHZ but 2GB??? im confused??? ive taken a pic of the specs but dont know how to add it to the comment. when I click on the image it asked for a url ?

I've no idea what model my Lenovo 10.1 inch tablet is but I bought it 2 years ago from a post on here for under £100 and its been brilliant. HD video, word processing, Internet, games, Kodi streaming all a breeze

A10-70 is available again at tesco direct for 139, I know its not the john lewis price from the summer but the cheapest I can find it, deffo worth the extra 40 quid

for example ? Help us HUKDer out, we do like a bargain.
(easy to get as well, with easy warranty)

How does this current offer compare to the nice HUDL2 (other than being 10" over 8").

​what tablet would you recommend for £100?

Ok so it looks like there is a 2GB version now of the 30 which didn't come up by googling which people are getting.

I personally don't think this is a particularly good deal because of the weak gpu performance. The tablet is definitely very budget in performance. It will get the job done but there are much more powerful tablets available for similar or less money. Hardly a bargain.

Mine is on Android 6.01.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1jx2k6&s=9#.WBW89eGLSCU

Bought Friday mine is 1.3ghz 32bit and 2GB any good?

I think the difference is between Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30 and Tab 2 A10-70. It sounds like some people are getting a free upgrade to the much better model. The A10-70 is much more powerful, 2GB of memory and a full HD display which is an absolute bargain at £90 but the other is frankly not such a good deal.

You can get the A10-70 from Tesco for £139

http://www.tesco.com/direct/lenovo-a2-a10-70-10-inch-tablet-16gb-white/671-1988.prd?skuId=671-1988&pageLevel=sku&sc_cmp=ppc_sh-_-sh-_-tesco-_-671-1988&gclid=CjwKEAjwtNbABRCsqO7J0_uJxWYSJAAiVo5LX3QX9OT6DGpJbPO849B2O0DSgCrbD-yNc45W-6ZIwxoCnsvw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&source=others

So Argo's price for the 30 isn't amazing.

Can anyone confirm they actually received the A10-70 instead of the A10-30?

A10-30 only has a mali 400mp2 gpu (hopeless) 3.6 glops
A10-70 has mali T760x2 which is 34 gflops (not cutting edge but almost 10x the power)

As you can imagine the 70 is capable of running many more apps and games well and the experience will be much better thanks to having faster quad core 64bit arm processors not 32bit in addition to the much better gpu and 2x the memory.

I bought this a few months ago and mine definitely has 2Gb RAM and Android 5.1. A good 10" tablet for the price. Very good Dolby audio. Battery life is very good as well. Would be nice if they upgraded it to Android 6 but I don't think that will happen.

This tab2 is the £120 example not the full HD which is £156 ATM still a good tablet, replaced my daughter's hudl2 with same offer

Doesn't work.

just buy a 5p bag

cheers op, another present sorted :smile:

also is this the lenovo tab 2 or just 1st version? the white ersion on argos says lenovo tab 2 but blue which is the one i want for my son only says lenovo tab. is it defo 2gb ram??

unsure whether to get this tablet for my son or the new linx gaming tablet for xbox one anyone any recommendations as to which is best?

Picked up two of these yesterday for Christmas presents for the kids and they're definitely 2gb

Very happy with them for the price

Picked up two of these yesterday for Christmas presents for the kids and they're definitely 2gb.

Very happy with them for the price .

How is this looking in terms on android updates? (as 5.1 is already relatively old)

also regarding the trade in scheme, is it just working tech? I have a Sony Z ultra that has a smashed screen.

Might get this as I have switched to google now with my phone etc so I'm in there ecosystem, have an iPad 3 which apple kindly crippled with iOS 9 for me it lags like a bitch.

it says that has 1gb of ram?

dont think they are going to upgrade the software on it but as it is, its a very nice tablet.

Thanks for the post!

Can anyone suggest which is better... this one or this Lenova Tablet at 109.99???
http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4689843

They seem similar but have a £10 price difference.

There seems to be an offer where you can trade in your old tablet for vouchers too. Where can I find this as the info isn't click able on the page.

Edit found ot

Yes Def 2 gb.

wondered why there was no ean number now i know why.always look a gift horse in the mouth.

Quote from their website

Hi there,

I have looked into this and can advise that this tablet has 1GB of RAM.

Thanks for using Argos Q&A.

You would have thought they would get their descriptions right..
Is it definitely 2GB of ram?

FRANK PM ME A COOOODEEE!!!

I think argos are mixing up the descriptions on this double check your purchase!

be careful there are 2 types. 1 is 1.5ghz quad core, 2gb and full HD. the other is 1.3ghz 1gb and not full HD avoid this one.

Any codes?

Slow clap.. :smiley:

taken from Argos Q&A section on this tablet:

Anybody who has one already know if it has mini hdmi for TV connection? Need to replace my hudl 2 as it's on its last legs.

I have checked the specs for this on a few sites and they all quote 1gb ram not 2gb.

The carrier bag doesn't count I bought item at£49.99 today and a bag and i did not receive voucher

what is the world coming too when you can not get a deal for the sake of 1p seriously.

Or buy a carrier bag to take it over £100?

Bought one today, 2gb, great deal!

No, any good?

i bought this earlier this year and I'm very happy with it

thanks op heat added.

Adding both would make it £100 = eligible for £10 voucher. Good deal in my opinion for £90

Spend from only 10p more to get your Free £10 Argos Voucher http://www.argos.co.uk/search/books/category:33372982/opt/sort:price/

Has already been posted but still good deal. Purchased white one the other day and comes with 2GB ram not 1GB. I asked if they would give me £10 gift card but they said i had to spend £100 to qualify so they offered to charge me £100 instead of £99,99 for tablet which would allow me the £10 gift card. Obviously i accepted this.

Heat added Frank :smiley:
