Seems okay for about €150 (currently £117 on amazon.. I noticed it on Hot UK Deals)...can be used as a tablet, or as a netbook using the keyboard included.

32GB memory expandable by 64GB with micro sd card...2 GB ram.

Handy as a portable netbook/tablet for browsing on the coach etc.

Also has USB and micro HDMI connections.

Looks like a good deal to me!

@Goat,

I'm curious how this machine worked out for you re: the 2gb RAM?

Thanks,

My 2c, as someone who's owned several similar devices - this is more a review of the platform than this particular Lenovo:

- 2GB RAM and an Atom CPU on a device like this will be OK... but only OK. It'll do for browsing, video, and light work but nothing more than that without suffering.

- 32GB of storage will mean about half that will be gone almost immediately. You will really need to expand via MicroSD

- Windows 10 is not as good on touch devices as 8 was. You'll probably use this as a netbook most of the time. 10 is also still in active development so bugs and functionality changes are not unknown.
There's an "anniversary update" due shortly that will chage things still more. It also forces mandatory updates down on you which can be merely annoying or cause occasional issues if they include a problem driver

- Most importantly, the Windows Store is nowhere near as good as the Android/IOS versions with a lot of apps either not there at all or inferior to their counterparts on those other platforms

In truth I've always ended up selling these on fairly quickly as I already have a very good touchscreen laptop, and as a tablet Windows is too fiddly and missing things you take for granted on IOS/Android that it gets frustrating after a while. But as a cheap touchscreen netbook this is very good value so long as you don't expect too much.

Sums it up nicely. That's all this is, it would be silly to compare it to any iOS / Android tablet (costing a lot more)
