£150 seems pretty cheap for a 1920 x 1200 pixel tablet with Android 6.0

Seems decent price especially considering the 2yr JL warranty and S75 eligibility.

Very good price, pity it doesn't have a little more Ram (in my dreams for that price!).

What the difference between this and the Tab 3 10 that's usually £99 at Argos?

Sh*t ordered the Huawei MediaPad M2, is this a better buy?

I'd like to know which of the two is better as well as I ordered the Huawei from the other thread on here yesterday.

This review isn't based on the same version of the tablet (the 'Business' rather than the 'Plus' home version, but it's software rather than hardware that is the difference), but there is a comparison in there with the MediaPad M2 that suggests the M2 is better - significantly so in some cases - in terms of raw power.
I think it comes down to what you want as a user really. The M2 has an older Android version with no signs of that situation improving whereas the Lenovo has at least got 6.0 on it. Gaming is better on the M2 (see the end of the review) but the older Android version may mean newer games are excluded before they are on the Lenovo at some stage. Sound and general media are better on the M2 as is the battery life, even with a slightly smaller battery.
I would have personally bought the M2 already if it wasn't for the older Android version as it does seem like a very good price for what you get.

Better to pay a bit more and get a Samsung

I'm all for paying a bit more for better quality but having tried a few of the newer Samsung tabs in John Lewis I haven't been overly impressed by build quality or performance.
Only reason I'd consider a Samsung tab is if I really wanted an OLED screen. Haven't been tempted by a Samsung tab since the 8.4 Tab S and Tab PRO.

Can I use the full version of adobe acrobat on this? I'm trying to fill in a form on my iPhone through that software for a visa and it won't work on iPhones fully.
