Yes they only hold 20% of the market. Ohh wait that is more than anybody else. Personally I am an Acer Fan but have tried the rest Asus, HP, Apple MS etc. Lenova have a massive market share and don't seem to push out cheap overpriced stuff like Apple do.
Excellent tablet and whoever said its Lenovo. Go buy Apple :smiley:

You must have got a faulty one, the stereo front facing speakers on mine are exceptionally good for the price I paid especially if using the built in Dolby app.

PC market where all components are made by other companies all they do is assemble it. Mobiles and tablets are different matters where they actually design it themselves and use their own software where I feel it's a huge let down

The PC and mobile markets aren't that far off, tablets and phones tend to be custom motherboards(like most laptops), but components and the SoCs are all just as off the shelf as most PCs. Also other than Apple, Google and Microsoft nobody designs OS and associated hardware together, everyone else uses OS from others and simply adds their own software on top(which lenovo creates as well as any other PC or phone manufacturer). As in mobile and tablets the PC market is dominated not by the components which almost everyone gets from someone else(Samsungs the only shop that does it all in house) but how it's all put together. Lenovo, like IBM before them make solid laptops and kept most of the reputation for quality and workmanlike reliability and mixed in a few weird things that IBM was too stodgy to do. They aren't any worse than anyone else and pretty often better than average, there are a few slightly weird stinkers but even those were mostly good quality.

Just FYI, has no compass if that makes a difference to anyone. Still a decent tablet though.

Has android 6, not 5. Has 2GB memory and 16GB storage, all the main points you want on an entry level tab.
I bought the same model £79 on offer from Argos in December and its been fantastic. Anyone who got it for £59 on this refurb deal got a real bargain, especially as past experience of Argos refurb has been brilliant.
Many people confuse this tab with the smaller screen version of a similar price that only has 1GB memory and Android 5

Unless you're buying it for your kids to play with, you'd probably be better off with a big phablet like the Mi Max.
