Best Value and great performance
In a marketplace with so many options from $49-$500 it is tough to know what is what and what is good.
As for this Lenovo, you will find this a very good value and very good performance. Lenovo is the third largest computer manufacturer in the world and has a stellar reputation for performance and quality. I have had this unit for about six months and have enjoyed it with no hickups.
What you will like:
GPS Navigation built in: This feature alone makes this seven inch screen worth the money. I did though download a better nav app, Route66 and would recommend you do the same. The GPS works without a network and is a stand alone feature.
16gb: More than most need but if you do need more buy a larger TF card and just insert it, something Apple has yet to offer their loyal customers.
Resolution: No it isn't a retina display but neither is Apples 7"! At seven inches the display is perfectly fine and displays HD. At this size it becomes merely a selling feature to do more.
Armored casing: What you may not know is the internal design, this has a reinforced armor casing to protect and absorb impact if dropped, Apple? NO!
Android: More apps more choices and a lot less money!
What may challenge you:
Slow boot up: When you do a cold boot this unit takes about 90 seconds to boot up.
Reboots: Hold down the power button for 10 seconds and you can reboot. This is something I have found on all tablets that will be necessary from time to time. This one a little more often.
Operation buttons: These are soft touch and back lit when you touch them. At the beginning you may find this challenging until you learn where these are and then you will have no problem.
Over all this unit has satisfied me and I am sure it will you. You will be using a tablet that has more features and better build than any other for the money and perhaps even more than those costing three times as much.
I hope this helps you.
