    Is the spec any good?
    The case they are offering is a tad expensive though. Far cheaper on fleabay.

    Hey, ordered my but yet to collect. Did you get the case for it? Just wondering if it's worth getting?

    It's cheap with Argos than on eBay or Amazon, with the 1/3 off.

    The tablet price is very good in argos. Matches refurbished prices on ebay.
    The cases are about a tenner on ebay and the bluetooth case is under €30 on ebay too so shop around eh?

    Picked one up for my mom who had a lot of trouble with a Galazy Tab 3 7" - so far it's head and shoulders above that.

    I see there's a good offer for anti virus with it.

    Is anti virus really needed on a tablet

    Does it go to Android L? I think the announcement of the new Yoga is likely the cause of the price cut.

    Apparently if you upgrade to kit Kat 4.4.2, you won't be able to save apps on the micro SD card.

    Seems like a good tablet based on specs but I've no experience with Lenovo products so I'm not really sure.

    Lenovo X & T series laptops are some of the best. Don't let the brand put you off.

    Thanks for this! Just wondering, what are the speakers like?
    Thinking of selling my Galaxy tab 2 10.1 & getting this instead... not very happy with the tab anymore!

    It was said earlier in the thread that if you applied the updates, that you could not store apps on the micro SD card.
    Can you confirm this please

    I think that is the case for all Kit Kat android devices, not an issue for me but might be something to think about for some alright

    Just wanted to thank the OP MASSIVELY!! I sold my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 & got one of these & it is BRILLIANT!! Can't fault it in any way whatsoever. .. screen isn't quite as sharp as the Tab but it makes up for it in every other way possible!
    Fast, responsive & great with multi-tasking... The sound is awesome & not to mention the genius multi - angle stand & the price!!
    I love it! ! Thank you so much for posting this bargain!! :))

    These look great but much cheaper again in US. Heading over there soon. I assume they charge using mini USB with no power adaptor needed?

    It is still on their website and showing plenty of stock, so you could always pay and collect at the OP price.

    Sorry, got my sums wrong on Amazon. Was looking at the 10" anyway.
    The 8" is now €159.99 on Argos.

    Has anyone had any issues with the upgrade to KitKat? There are some issues documented on Lenovo's forums, but I can't decide if everyone is having those issues or just a handful of people (problems with streaming music/video, crashing Google Maps).

    It works really well out of the box but the temptation to upgrade is there.
