Walmart YMMV per brickseek deal is goose hunt... never again
That is solely on a specific Walmart. Brickseek inventory is based off Walmarts own inventory count. When you have a Walmart with a bunch of lazy asses that don't zero out stuff, it shows in stock when it's really not. I suspect these Walmarts are also the ones where they have empty shelf slots all the time, cause they don't zero out so things can be reordered.
My nearest Walmart has this problem. The next closest does not, and that's where I find BS deals.
Seems limited to built-in google android apps, minus Chrome. Voice control to change apps instead of Android UI. But it runs Youtube, so it has definite use.

gave up on Brickseek long ago
A Walmart that may have the stocking inventory up to date one day or week may not be so stellar the next week or even the next day
My opinion: Brickseek is a roulette game and for me a waste of time/energy
Just went to two Walmart's first one on brickseek stated 3-4 found nothing. Second one on brickseek stated 6+ and I found one at $45. Just my experience.
Can this thing replace my tablet?
I just want to play youtube that's it.
It doesn't have a user interface like a tablet... there are no "apps" specifically like a tablet... you have a few personalized recommendations that are given based on your overall account usage (smart phone, tablet, Roku, etc.) for Youtube, Google Music, News, etc...
Mostly I still use my phone to find stuff and then cast it to the Lenovo display... easiest way to do it, and really the only way to do it if you want to watch Vudu, Hulu, or other castable service (since Lenovo again doesn't have apps)... you could play something from Youtube directly on the Lenovo display by saying "Ok Google, play me XXXXX from Youtube"... but it can be a little hard to find stuff that way...
Don't get me wrong - I love my 10" Lenovo Smart Display... I have it in the kitchen... replaced our Google Home speaker... can do what the Google Home could do, and so much more...
