Lenovo tab 4 8 plus â‚¬119

Glad you're all delighted with your tablets. I'm on the lookout for one myself but would prefer a 10" so didn't plump for this one. Could the OP or any of the rest of you recommend a 10" or should I post somewhere else? No gaming, want internet/you tube/ decent interval between recharges

There is a 10" version of the Lenovo on their website!

Will do thanks, re buying on Amazon it would that mean a differently configurated keyboard? You know the way German keyboards for eg aren't querty so some letters in different places

IS M5 also Lenovo?

M3 lite and M5 both Huawei !

Nope they'll be all the same whereby you pick your region and keyboard on setup of the device

Been using mine and love it. A little bit of light is getting through the edge of my bezel which is a bit annoying. Thinking of calling them tomorrow to see if I can get it exchanged. Maybe I'm taking a bit too much notice though.

Tilikum17 · 13-05-2018 5:32pm

I just went onto the lenevo site & it’s saying the tablet is available to buy.

My order hasn’t shipped because they say it’s gone into backorder! Is that normal?

I haven't received my order either. Now when I go to the link to "look up" order, site can't be reached.

Anywhere else I can try and track status?

I have an email from them saying it will ship when it’s no longer in backorder. How can it be in backorder if I can buy it on their site?

I emailed them during the week you see. They replied saying what I said above.

How can they just cancel the order after telling me they’d ship it?

On support.lenovo.com. If you have an account set up, there is an option to view your products. You will need to add your tablet first. When your devices are listed the warranty information is displayed too, along with a link to correct the warranty information. This is going from memory, so not exact steps, but I hope its enough to get you started.

Thats faulty alright...edge bleeding and looks awful...

Boradriver · 13-05-2018 11:24pm

Yeah, I noticed it looked worse tonight when the screen brightness was high. I'll have to call them tomorrow. Pity because it's a great device otherwise.

Hopefully they'll just exchange it.

Is your order cancelled?? Mine still says 'in progress'.

mickc · 14-05-2018 10:07am

Mine was on backorder also.

It arrived to the house this morning without any status update.

blade1 · 14-05-2018 12:33pm

Mine just arrived!!

Basq · 14-05-2018 12:35pm

Hoping to get mine by end-of-day, which UPS seem to be indicating.

Looking up some viable cases in the meantime.

Have a spare 16GB microSD banging around so that should do along with the 64GB on it.

Yesterday the page wouldn’t load. Thought they might of cancelled the order. It’s back up there today.

Let the updates commence!

I can't get over how premium the build feel is for €97 ex vat

Peatys · 14-05-2018 2:59pm

is there a limit to sd card size it can take?

we're loading it up with series and films for heading on hols.. i can set a 128gb as portable storage grand. Problem is when i go to download, my app saves to internal storage. So i tried mounting the card as internal storage, and the formatting hangs at 20%.......

any ideas?

Jaysus.. anyone have luck with microSD's?

GalwayGaillimh · 14-05-2018 3:43pm

I registered my new Tablet on Lenovos website using the serial number and its showing 90 days warranty surely it should be 365 days ?
Anyone else register?

Yeah, it's been mentioned. Pop them an email and they'll amend it I think.

Tilikum17 · 14-05-2018 4:16pm

Mine was sitting in the porch when I came home today. Those lads in customer care clearly have no idea what’s going on.

Basq · 14-05-2018 4:19pm

Worse I saw was a certain courier (which shall remain unnnamed) put my package under the lid of my recycling wheelie bin, and put a note in the letterbox. I'm just glad I found the note!
