Thanks OP, been looking for a new tablet for the wife for a while.
She's normally satisfied with a 7 incher, but I think that an 8 incher will put an extra glint in her eye.

For the £, I'd say its hot as its got 2GB Ram & Android 6. Just annoying they don't sell a FHD version for £100.
ffs. will amazon take their fire tablet back? nothing but tablet deals since I ordered it
kencol to Stevie Badman
2 Dec 16#16
Yes, just ask for a return and take it to a click and collect shop .. if it's faulty, you do not have to accept a replacement and are entitled to a refund, otherwise, I think, they charge a restocking fee.
chimp14uk
2 Dec 161#13
The 7 inch in this deal is only 8GB, so the Amazon deal is only £10 more for a 16GB one.
Still only 1GB RAM though.
I decided to go for the 2GB version.
kencol
2 Dec 16#14
Yes, but is it any better for the extra tenner? The processor frequency is higher....not necessarily faster, I know, that's why I asked.

really good tablet, got it few months back from Argos. it has Android Marshmallow, which means you can use your memory card as an extension of your storage. the night mode is good for reading. also has kids mode.

It has 8gb more, you will be better off buying this and a 32gb SD card if you need more space.

Is there somewhere like passmark to compare tablet cpus?
Edit: Just realised, the Amazon one states same CPU name but says 1.5 Ghz...are they misrepresenting it, or is it really faster than the Argos one?

The Lenovo page states the Amazon one is 1.3ghz and only Android 5
how comes the 8inch is 1ghz? with 2gb ram.
and the 7inch is 1.3ghz but with 1gb ram?
can anyone confirm these. as sometimes the ram might be stated wrong.

2 Dec 16#24
Does the 8inch model have a (micro)HDMI port?
It not is there any other 7 or 8" Android 6 tablet out there with 2GB RAM and HDMI port?
Also its available for £5 less on Argos refurbished site. Ok its only a fiver and not worth the saving if buying as a gift but if its for yourself these are generally as good as new just open box, so by the time you have opened the box you may as well save the fiver.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-Tab-3-A8-8-Inch-LED-1GHz-2GB-16GB-Android-6-Tablet-Black-From-Argos-/361693884255

there is a bush tablet at Argos that is android 6, mini HDMI, 2gb ram, and 32gb memory
shakerstevens
2 Dec 162#26
Thank you! And its £10 less. Apart from the lower battery life I think the bush tablet looks fair better spec wise, FHD display. Might go for that then http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5499726

Hudl 2 was cursed with faults so Tesco pulled it from sale... That's what they said to me when I returned my sons.

3 Dec 161#36
i bought the hudl for £69 a week ago , I don't think it is that good because there are always lags everywhere even though I'm still on 4.4.2 . I am probably going to return it today

I knew I'd seen it somewhere (http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/736158/Tesco-Hudl2-Tablet-Black-Friday-2016-UK).
They must have had some old stock that they've just let go. I just recently got my boy a used Hudl 2 because I still think they're the best non-limited children's tablets for small children (especially when running Lollipop).

The 8 inch feels like a 1gb ram device, was way too sluggish so had to return it. Feels much slower than hudl2. Build quality and sound was nice but pixel density and sluggishness put me off.

Your Lenovo/Argos link states only 1.0GHz (as opposed to 1.3-1.5GGz?), as well as mentioning 16GB of eMMC storage (as opposed to the only 8GB eMMC storage it really rather has?).
There's a mixed-matched inconsistency across there me thinks?. :-(

I think you half read the conversation, the 1GHz is the 8" which wasn't mentioned in that conversation. the 1.3/1.5GHz was referring to the 7" essentials tab that Amazon have against the 7" Argos have.
Pay more attention please :wink:

That wouldn't surprise me. Mine died literally two weeks after warranty, although to Tesco's credit they still gave me a partial refund despite just falling out of warranty..
I'll be honest, I didn't get the love for it. It had responsiveness issues and I ended up having to download a touch sensitivity app and remove the screen protector altogether. It also kept crashing and locking up.
When it worked, performance was mediocre. I certainly wouldn't go back to it.

The Bush Spiro B2 is better then this If Battery Life is not your biggest concern, I got the 2016 Samsung Tab A 7" for 99 last week and the Bush beats it in everything accept battery.
Sorry if i have missed something, but is this a cellular version? I see an icon of a handset which looks like the phone icon?

The reviews are generally positive.
Some have complained about it being a little laggy, but those people don't seem to factor in that it's an £80 product and that they aren't going to get something that performs like a brand new top of the range device.
Plus it has 2GB of RAM which in my opinion makes a world of difference. Similarly priced Android tablets have only 1GB of RAM and I'd never touch them.

Now available with 10% cashback from Topcashback on argos purchases. But be quick if you are interested. I bought before midnight and the topcashback page said the cashback rate due to end tomorrow. Its now after midnight so I expect the cashback rate will only last until the end of today, i.e. sunday 11.59 p.m.
