Lenovo IdeaPad A1 and Lenovo IdeaPad U300S video

Lenovo's Ultrabook and tablet both made their debut at IFA 2011. T3 went hands-on to see if they were special enough to stand out from the crowd

Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet A1

With both the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet available for $50 less, the Lenovo Ideapad Tablet A1, with its middling performance and low-quality screen, is a tough sell.

Phone apps look fine and work well. Decent battery life.

Subpar screen. Middling performance. Rapidly aging OS.

Conclusions If you're sold on the 7-inch form factor and want an affordable, capable tablet, the Kindle Fire or the Nook Tablet, which is now available in an 8GB version for $199, are better (and less-expensive) bets. Below-average performance, an...

Lenovo IdeaPad A1

The ; includes front and rear cameras, Bluetooth, memory expansion, and a full-fledged Android experience, at a great price.

The screen has a bad viewing angle, the design is chunky, and the Android OS isn't the latest and greatest.

The Lenovo A1 is a classic Android tablet, at an attractive price, but its subpar screen gives the competition an edge.

Review Lenovo Ideapad A1 Tablet

Solid entry-level tablet? The new Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet A1 was an

Good manufacturing quality; Price/performance ratio; Handy size; No crashes during the tests; Good battery life

No HDMI out; Short illumination of menu buttons; Reflective screen; Only 12 month manufacturer warranty; Needs a second to wake up from standby

In our opinion, the Sony Tablet P/S because of the ease of handling on the Android side. The Dell Streak 7" is also handy, but doesn't have a viewing angle strong screen. The HTC Flyer 7" WiFi +3G excels with Access Point function and Magic Stick for...

Lenovo IdeaPad A1 Review

It's clear that the tablet market has become a two horse race. We have the likes of the iPad , which starts at $499, competing for marketshare with tablets that check in under $250. One of those sub $250 tablets is the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 which the...

The Lenovo IdeaPad A1’s $199 price point makes it an exceptional value. It has specifications that while not mind-blowing, get the job done.

Lenovo IdeaPad A1 7″ Tablet Review

A well-rounded tablet for the price. The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 has everything you could need from a slate, including a decent screen, GPS, Bluetooth, and a front and back facing camera.... It's a fully-functional, ultra-portable, and very affordable tablet.

Lenovo IdeaPad A1

Affordable full-featured Android tablet

Outdated CPU and OS

The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 tablet is by no means a bad product; in fact it's a good alternative to those no-name tablets we see at Fry's and MicroCenter (Azpen, ChinaMart, even some Coby's aren't so hot). But the tablet's OS and CPU are already dated, and...
