Refurbished Lenovo IdeaTab S2109 9.7 Inch Dual Core 16GB Tablet Android 4.0 $161.40 Shipped At Lenovo

review are not good for this one

I went with the KFHD 8.9 instead of something like this. For ~$100 more you get a much more modern tablet. The SD card/GPS on this one is nice if you need em though.

There's an X230 with an IPS screen for $474 right now in the outlet and an X220 with IPS for $400.
I would pick it up if I had the money.

Question, who wouldn't pay $75 more for the nexus 7, same exact specs, same everything except 10"?

Meaning a 10" for $275.

Not even close to the exact same specs...

I agree. Not what I was getting at. My point about this tablet is 10" is a big deal. Just look at the way the nexus 7 and nexus 10 are priced. And depending on what you are running, this is a very fine, branded, 10" tablet that will suit many needs. 10" is "in" (I'll wait for the thats what she said comments).

TWSS

The Nexus has a much better CPU and screen resolution but no SD card slot or HDMI. The last 2 items are what make this a good deal I feel. You can add up to a 64 GB card and store a ton of movies and music and play your movies back on a TV wherever you go. At $162 the pluses outweigh the minuses on this tablet.

I have the Nexus 7 and love it but am considering this tablet and selling my Nexus off.

Lol. You should be a stand up comedian.

The Lenovo k1 is also a decent tablet that can be had on ebay around $150. My only issue with both this ideapad and the k1 is build quality. They both seem very flimsy. I saw a review for this were the guy was bending it and creating marks on the screen with ease. I'd just on this, its punch is enough and its an ips 10" tablet. I don't need 1080p in a tablet, though its nice. But AHHHHH if the build quality were just better this would be slick. I tried out the nexus 7 awhile back, its perfect in everyway except 1 thing, its not a nexus 10. Why on gods green earth can't the nexus 10 be $300 is the 7 is $200.

bought an ThinkPad Tablet for around 285 $...

Quote from GnatGoSplat : Same screen/resolution as my HP Touchpad so that's not a problem. I don't think there's a Jelly Bean ROM for it though, neither through Lenovo or 3rd party. Kernel source is released to the public so this could be a great device for devs to port ROMs to, but unfortunately the problem is it's not popular enough. I couldn't find any 3rd party ROMs for this at all.

I found two, if you want to check them out:

Those are for the A2109 and I do not think they will work on this tablet because they have different CPU's.

opps ... my bad. Guess I got hung up on the 2109 and didn't notice the letter.

For under $200 a Tegra 2 with 1280 x 800 IPS is pretty decent...
