Received mine this morning and can confirm its a 2 GB model complete with original power supply and USB cable. Immaculate condition except for a couple of little ink spots on back panel which cleaned off easily. Also mine had the front panel not quite clipped on but that was easily fixed (probably a final QC issue).

All in all, a bargain. Thanks OP!

back on topic thanks op, good deal - 2gb version tablet upgraded to android 6 and ready for tomorrow's commute - great bargain!

Just updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1 :sunglasses:

1GB RAM meh...

can only find the 1gb showing on the eBay item. the model number shows 2gb everywhere else

Any good for downloading movies onto?as looking for a half decent tablet for around the £100 mark that can handle a few films and games without becoming sluggish.

reckon this is a 1gb version, tempted by this as left my lenovo tablet on the train this week - doh!

I've got one similar to this. Three years and going strong. Great for browsing and watching media

I'm using this tablet right now,its great and has a fantastic battery timer which I wish was available on all tablets. The only negative I have is that lenovo stripped out the multi user profile ability found in android

I'm asking on behalf of a friend btw what are android tablets like to get free movie apps and free sky tv etc

ah I've gone for one - should do the job to watch tv on the commute - cheers op.

Will be pretty useless with 1gb of ram it will struggle with most things and all but the most basic games will be unplayable the only real use for this tablet is as a media player for Kodi and Netflix.

Confused about the ram though. One of the comment says it's got 2gb of ram, see below

Wow
Just remember if u looking for tables don't buy with 1gb ram. Minimum 2gb ram and u got trouble free tablet.
Lenovo 10.1 screen. 16gb memory is just enough but can be added extra memory if needed. 5mpix cam it's OK. Battery life is very good and now the most important thing 2GB of ram. Bought grade B from argos and surprisingly got just couple small scratches on screen almost invisible all body around if perfect condition so well done Argos

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Refurbished | Sold by: argos

either way shouldn't 1gb ram be enough to surf the web and play video files? maybe read a few comic car files? that's all I'll be doing

Messaged them on Twitter and they said it's looking like it's the 1GB version and the model number listed (for the 2BG version) is an error and the will correct it.

Amazon shows 1gb

Shame it's not 2gb of ram otherwise I'd be all over it. Argos do well with these refurb tablets. I bought a refurb Asus tablet from them last year and it was in perfect condition but only had 1gb of ram and it struggles. Heat for the deal though.

People moaning about the spec of a £60 tablet. I have 4 of these in my home and they haven't missed a beat in all the time I've owned them.
£60 is a bargain even if you just use it for browsing.
The only thing I don't like about it, as stated in a post above, the lack of multiple user accounts is a let down.

I wish I worked at your place I'd be nicking them. Why don't you put Blue Tack and Paper in the suggestion box you might win a prize

I bet your workplace has safe-space, a non sacking policy and other nonsense - what is it Public Sector, Education, Local Authority or suchlike ?

apart from 1GB of RAM, the screen is also 1280 x 800.
I own the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70, it's great when it works, but my device has audio issues, and laggy scrolling, which has affected a lot of other users.
Lenovo themselves don't bother to fix it and had to scroll through various user forums to find a fix.
Decent price if it's a gift for a kid i guess, but it will workout being more frustrating than worth it in the long run

I have a slightly better version, with 2GB of RAM and Full HD screen. It is a decent devices, and it runs many apps just fine, but no match for a top of the range tablet.

This one seems like a cheaper version, and if that is true, I would avoid it.

Are you implying that if workers don't rob at their workplace, their workplace is somehow an issue?

Guys I can confirm its a 1 gb model. I ordered this last week from argos ebay thinking it must be a misprint as its listed as 2 gb elsewhere but it turned out to be one gb.

I recommend lenovo tab 2 a10-70f which is hd screen and has 2 gb ram

The thieving comment was tongue in cheek. What kind of workplace hangs tablets on doors to show whether a room is vacant or not that's the issue for me

Unbelievable that a tablet is used as an occupied or not occupied sign. A sad indictment of so called progress. The rare earth metals, the practically slave labour China etc. And these things are used as door signs. Ugh. Makes me feel a little ill.

Not useless but then it's not great either. It's a backup tablet at best.

Quite right Blither and the pathetic excuse for an organisation employs Flynn_Lives

More efficient use of meeting rooms = less meeting rooms = less space needed = saves money.
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's wrong.
It could mean that you just need educating :stuck_out_tongue:

I sent 2 back with charging issues,I think I will give it a miss

I can confirm this model does have 2gb ram. Just received mine this morning. Like new. Thanks op

nice one great news, mine has been delivered but won't get to open until home tonight

Just updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1 :sunglasses:

Super stuff! SOLD!

Edit: Looks to be sold out :-(

Whose going to update piece of paper every day, and throughout the day, as things change?
They're likely fixed in some way too...rather than lying around easy to pick up.

One last suggestion - one of those sliding Room Free/ Occupied signs. Cheaper and easier than bolting a tablet to the door and they don't need recharging

That's my lot - I surrender

:laughing:

Mine also arrived today also 2GB good condition too. Though mine was just in a brown box no white one with stickers like above.

Working fine was fully charged and already updated.

mine has arrived in a brown box , good condition with 2gb ram spot on

Don't suppose you can recommend a good case with built in stand that does not block the speakers?

Or anyone else for that matter.

I'm just guessing here, but you don't spend a lot of time in meeting rooms do you?

Tablet type screens that hook in to Outlook calendars, with people able to book meeting rooms easily, have rooms freed up easily, and to do that needing less and less meeting rooms is a good thing.
Like I said, you don't understand the way a modern office works, and how the price of a £100 tablet is absolutely nothing in the scheme of things. That's fine...it's no big deal...but it also doesn't make it a sign of how crazy the world has become. It just means you don't understand.

Oh I understand alright. The current cost of these kinds of gadgets being low is exactly how progress actually harms the world in the long run.

The efficiency and ease with which people can book meeting rooms is one thing, but why does the door even need to state it? Why not just have all of the information on Outlook calenders? No physical representation is required. If you must, have a little slidey thing so that when the person who has booked the room enters it, they can show that it is occupied. This isn't rocket science.

As for "it's just a £100 tablet".. yes, it is, well done. And I could buy however many I like and use them for whatever I like, and that makes it fine, doesn't it? Well, no, not really. It doesn't. Not in the long term, not in the grand scheme of things. As mentioned before, rare earth metals, co2 output, damage done to poor little Chinese timmy who is working 18 hours a day from 4 years old. It's very easy to just look at up front cost and think that that's alright then, but to me it's a fantastic example *of the sickeningly inefficient excesses of humanity. They are entirely unnecessary and therein lies the problem. There are countless other, low carbon, low rare earth metals, solutions to this problem, but people can't be arsed to utilise them.

They have he little slidey things too.
People like them, they're quaint.

Quick example: Frank thinks he's booked the room. So does Jim. They're both adamant.
Slidey thing says either 'In Use' or 'Vacant'. How is that helping resolve the problem?

They could go down to their desk and check calendars I suppose. But that takes time doesn't it? If only there was some way of displaying it on the door?

There could well be countless other low tech solutions. But a piece of paper and blutac isn't one of them. Or the slidey thing.
I've worked in offices for 23 years and getting meeting rooms has always been a pain - these help.
There are other costs to factor in: you're right. But I'm not sure that meeting room tablets is the most appropriate place to start the crusade. But maybe it is...you clearly feel strongly about it.
Companies save money and increase efficiencies with things like this though: I'm not sure ecological considerations come anywhere near the top of their thinking.

And there, very likely, is the problem you're trying to point out.

back on topic thanks op, good deal - 2gb version tablet upgraded to android 6 and ready for tomorrow's commute - great bargain!

If she's anything like mine she would probably get more use out of the paper and blutac alternative :smirk:

looks all but new , no marks etc

has anyone managed to disable the stupidly loud startup sound? there is an option "Boot ringtone" in sound settings but it does nothing for me.

edit: it's encyption that seems to break the setting
