Refurbished Ideapad Tablet A1 available for $71.05 + FS *****PRICE UPDATED****

I know $80 is cheap but given the specs on this I would avoid. There are better options unless you absolutely cannot spend a dime over $80.

We got a handful of these to demo at my office and it was bar-none the worst tablet I ever used. Lenovo ruined android with their custom interface, so maybe if you can root it you can make it a more pleasant experience.

Obsolete , but I'll take for free , lenovo?

Whats the discount code?

obviously not a Hot deal since so many still left after being up on sd for a couple of hours

Quote from tolgac : Just ordered Nook Tablet 16GB (refurbished/used) from Cowboom about the same price... should I cancel and order this ? Does anyone has used both and advice one to other ? your help is highly appreciated...Thank you..

Nook blows this out of the water if you root it. the 512 ram is very limited.

This would be a TU if it were 2011....

Quote from dougpaw57 : I had one, it has GPS. The screen is only so-so and it doesn't support Skype, which is what I bought it for, it went back the next day.

Can you explain why it doesn't support Skype? Is it just buggy, or does it not run? It has a forward facing camera, so I was just wondering why it doesn't work.

It just won't run. I got it at Office Depot on a Friday night and set it up as soon as I got home. Loaded up Skype and it had no video. I bought it on a whim so I did no research first, but after I searched there were comments on Skype's own forums about it not working. It went back the next day and OD didn't even charge me the re-stocking fee after I showed them the post from Skype.

these are awful...stay away! i purchased one at Frys, took it home, and it was dead on arrival. took it back the next day, then it froze up 7 days later and i had to send it back to lenovo for repair. to be fair, the repair turnaround time was quick. but it went on ebay as soon as i got it back.

if you strictly check email, this would be good. but get used to alot of "force close" errors when using apps, and forget about streaming anything or playing games all together.

You obviously never tried a Dell Streak with it's 800x480 crap screen.

Save a few bucks and get a nook color over this still a very capable tablet with a nice screen... or spend a few more bucks and get a nook tablet.. i was hoping for tegra2 when i saw this.

this tablet will probably give you nothing but frustration

People are still buying it, is down to 539 left, hopefully in a day or 2 Lenovo drops it another $15-20 and I'll buy a spare to keep the HP Touchpad company.
