Just to chime in, I got one of these and the battery life in phenomenal.

Dozen Wicked Words · 22-06-2015 9:26pm

I really want to order one, looks very good for the money, but I also know im really skint, and really cant afford it.

54and56 · 22-06-2015 9:53pm

Was about to pull the trigger on one of these to replace my almost 4 year old HP Touchpad but then I checked this review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIcoVFzdKjY and changed my mind. Looks like it's a flawed device which Lenovo are dumping unsold stock of.

It would still probably make an excellent family tablet for general use or for kids watching movies and playing games on long road trips etc but for me I think I'd prefer to add another €75 or €100 and pick up a Nexus 7 or similar.

Any recommendations for a 10" tab for family use? That review turned me off the one the op posted.

Thanks

Not sure how well I'd trust a review that states the tablet is 28 inches thick. :eek:

Anyone have one of these? What's the general opinion? Good, bad, average? Tempted to get one as the price seems decent....

As I said in my post I think it would be a fine family tablet for general browsing and watching movies/youtube/Netflix etc but I already have a tablet which does that so I'm looking for something more polished, more powerful and probably a smaller screen. I find 10" tablets too big for personal use. My son has a 2nd gen 7" Nexus and I have to say it's the business. I think it's the perfect size for personal use. Plenty big to watch movies and play game on but small enough to be highly portable, it easily fits into a the arse pocket of jeans or inside pocket of a jacket.

toby2111 · 22-06-2015 11:24pm

I just had a quick look at reviews of this and is getting at least 8 out of 10 on sites and generally very positive reviews. I'm tempted but will wait to see if boardsies think it's a good buy...

pah · 22-06-2015 11:31pm

We'll I'm jumping on this anyway. It's a bargain all day long people.

The last big BA I bought was a Lenovo Chromebook last November and its been brilliant.

As another poster had said this will be great for family use etc, mostly for the OH as she's sick of me getting packages in the door.

steve_r · 23-06-2015 9:23am

I got an 8inch Yoga tablet through Argos as a gift last November.

The size is perfect and the battery life is very strong.

However the sound failed on it within 3 months, and a month ago it went into a chinese boot mode which I was able to get it out of.

I've been on the lookout for a tablet for my mother. In terms of reading off it I'd rather get her a large tablet as she was comfortable with the size of my old iPad2. However getting her an iPad is a gamble if she doesn't use it.

The sound issue is the main reason why I'm reluctant to go for this.

Am I the only one who dislikes the design?

newg300 · 23-06-2015 10:15am

For general browsing and streaming, would this or Hudl 2 be better? Both roughly same price as I wouldn't have Tesco club card points.

schemingbohemia · 23-06-2015 10:21am

I got my girlfriend one of these for Christmas and it's brilliant, amazing battery life. The little kick stand is fantastic so that you don't have to hold it the whole time. We don't use it for games, mostly browsing and Netflix/youtube but it's worked very well for us (i mean her).

I'd say for general family useage the Hudl 2 is fine - http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/tesco-hudl-2-1267726/review

Nicer Android interface and nicer form factor with easy to grip edges for little hands. Battery life isn't great but when will you ever be more than 5-6 hours away from a charge?

Mantis Toboggan · 23-06-2015 11:02am

Pity it's not android, not sure I could with a windows tablet, too many apps missing.

It is Android.

Paddy_man · 23-06-2015 11:12am

I have the Yoga 8 since before Christmas and I love it. I had a Nexus 10 before that, but as I was heading away for Christmas I wanted a tablet with great battery life and this thing is a beast. I really like the form factor, the screen isn't the best, but plays anything I throw at it.

I've gone for this one, just cause I use the 8 so much for TV shows and movies that I wanted a bigger screen. For day to day use I think it'll be perfect. the only thing I faulted the Yoga 8 for was it got a bit laggy when I was downloading and switching between facebook and chrome and a couple of other apps, but i am a heavy user of tech so I expect it a struggle with all I through at it. The one in the OP has better specs so based on my experience with the other one it should be fine for daily use.

I wonder if there has been any software updates since the review which have addressed the performance issues? The reviewer does state that it seems like it could be easily fixed.

garv123 · 23-06-2015 12:23pm

Just cane on looking for a tablet. Main use would be movies Netflix Facebook and forums. Any reason not to get this one?

toby2111 · 23-06-2015 12:24pm

Think I'll take a plunge and order this when I get home from work. Is there anything better for this price with this spec? Will use it for general browsing,watching films etc. My 2 and a half year old will love getting his grubby hands all over it so hopefully it'll be sturdy enough!!

Barr · 23-06-2015 12:25pm

What is a good case for this ? Something that can handle a bit of rough and tumble with young kids.

I have one, treated myself to it at Christmas. The battery life is phenomenal.I also like the the stand as I mostly use the tablet to stream, I can stand it on my bedside locker instead of having to hold it or prop it up against something. My kids use it for YouTube and games and both prefer it to their own tablets. I'm taking the plunge and buying two as Christmas presents for them both.

D'Agger · 23-06-2015 1:07pm

Just ordered - very glad to have stumbled across this thread!

Delighted with the stand which will come in handy big time for propping up next to the desktop screens, streaming on the bedside locker etc.

toby2111 · 23-06-2015 1:30pm

Which is better- the Yoga tablet or the Hudl 2? I'd like a tablet with hdmi out and USB post if possible. Will the Hudl work here seeing as its only available in UK?I can nip up to Tesco Newry and pick one up if its a better option than the Yoga..

Yes hudl works here. Good tablet only battery life isn't the best but not awful. Has a very nice screen.

moonboy52 · 23-06-2015 2:05pm

Really tempted. Very decent BA. The justification begins. The Lenovo Chromebook deal at Xmas, i jumped on and was not disappointed.
