Customer Review

For currently about 180 EUR you can complain about little and should do neither. I have the Lenovo bought through Amazon Warehouse Deals, thereby getting even cheaper. Unfortunately, the description did not quite match the device. The CPU is only a Rockchip RK3066 1.6GHz and with a light sensor does not exist. I was very friendly, a discount granted, if I keep the device. Since I the extra power of the RK3188 (makes nearly 1,000 meters difference in Antutu benchmark) not necessarily need and it also does not make so much noticeable in everyday life, I have kept the Lenovo and can after a few days to try and install a first feedback enter:

Smaller than an A4 sheet and flat as a MacBook Air, it makes a very modern character. The schnürkellose grip surface looks very classy and looks cheap in any way. If you fold the Lenovo on the taut hinges, he is like a quality netbook with Android operating system on the table. Here creaks and wobbles nothing. Because there is all the hardware in the lower part, the Lenovo is also not top-heavy. The keyboard uses wonderful and has a pleasantly soft pressure point. What proves to be productive in everyday life, are the function keys. Here important features of Android are stored. The small touchpad has a mechanical left and right mouse button. In the settings you can activate here a gesture control what the right mouse button allows the Back function. For gestures one is but rather welcome the touch screen, which also works excellently. The surface of the screen is very smooth, which should come to meet users with little humid fingers. The resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels is enough for 10-inch from absolute, but what is the contrast may not necessarily claim. The brightness (if put on the highest level) is bright even in daylight. Unpleasant case falls only the highly reflective display on.

Android in version 4.2.2 can be afloat operate and hardly affords pause for thought. Striking is the disturbing bottom "taskbar", which includes a button to the App Drawer and the recently launched programs. This is one well without rooting the device, can not shake. Otherwise there are some apps that can hide a system tray. Why Lenovo does not offer a specific function here, is beyond my knowledge. Surely that's a reason to send the Lenovo back for many. Whether there will ever be another update and whether it provides such a function, I doubt strongly. For me it was a major reason to root.

The rear built stereo speakers deliver a clean sound. I would like to highlight the positive nor the wireless power that my ASUS exceeds Tablet and LG Smartphone. Exceed, the Lenovo also be processed with the possibility 64GB Micro-SD cards. About the built-in camera I lose no words. If you look can also save. The battery life is surprisingly good with just under 7 hours of Internet surfing. Full brightness, Bluetooth and besides listening to music reduces this course enormous.

Disadvantages for the star-hood at a glance:

- Display reflects heavily, low contrast (but full resolution)
- Large non-collapsible tray (by root detachable)
- No longer very recent Android (but still relevant)

Conclusion:

For the price of less than 200 EUR you get a fine and fast mixture of netbook and Android tablet. If you have confidence in to root the Lenovo, then you make the purchase certainly nothing wrong.

I personally hope for a successor with the current Android, reasonable camera, 2GB memory and better screen. Until then, I'm happy with the Lenovo.
