I've been hemming and hawing whether to get the Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus, the Lenovo 10e or the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 4gb version.
The only thing that originally stopped me with the Lenovo 10e was the terribly bad speakers. But at this price point, I'll deal with it. I have plenty of other devices around the house (including other PCs, tablets, phones and bluetooth speakers) if I wish to play something at a loud volume.
Here is my brief analysis should this help anyone in the same boat.
* The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is 8.4" and arguably is easier to handle than the 10" Fire HD 10 and Lenovo 10e. But the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite uses a crappy 1340x800 resolution with poor viewing angles. Buyer beware that the A7 Lite does have a 3GB RAM variant as well.
* Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus (the 4GB RAM variant) was really, really tempting especially considering one can use Fire Toolbox to remove the ads & bloatware, sideload Google Play Store, and sideload a custom launcher.
* BUT Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus uses Android 9 as the underlying OS (already out of date considering Android 12 just came out). Not to mention Amazon is releasing a new (currently optional) OS update to version 7.3.3.2 that prevents Fire Toolbox from being able to do its thing. Not sure how I feel about being forever stuck on a previous version of an already outdated OS.
* I've read that the Lenovo 10e's ChromeOS is a bit hit-or-miss compared to Android (especially with app compatibility) but we shall see. I don't really do much on my current tablets besides catching up on news, perusing Reddit & Slickdeals and occasionally watching a show or TV on it.

The 10e is only good if you plan to get a keyboard as chrome is really meant to be used with a keyboard like a computer. The speakers on this are supposedly pretty horrible so that would make it a terrible media consumption device.
I would pick the fire over this overall, but I would pick my Duet (far more expensive) over the fire.
TLDR - the fite 10 is better than this.
The wording from the rep was "That refund will be process in 7-10 business days,
An email will be sent once the refund completely process, includes the refund invoice."
Fire 10 might have a better screen and speakers than 10e. Fire 10 has a fused screen which makes it much nicer to view than the prior Fire 10 version, and pretty good speakers for media. I can't tell if 10e has a fused screen, and limited reviews say the speakers are bad.
For me, I like to install APKs of my choosing that might not be in Playstore, either old versions or apps that are not there at all. I am not aware that Chromebooks can install APKs.
But if you need or want a Chromebook, getting this with the 30 dollar keyboard gives you a good small touchscreen laptop.

I used to have an old chromebook Acer c720 that was a great experience just to use a light device for basic web browsing. Thinking about picking up one of these lenovo tablets.
The wording of their Holiday Price guarantee is "You don't have to worry about timing your purchase just right to get the best price. If the price drops on your product this Holiday season, we'll refund the difference." https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/shop...q/#returns
I do not see any wording on the price guarantee limiting the number of price adjustments allowed or limits on where the item was purchased. But clearly the Lenovo Ebay store is a direct outlet of Lenovo and managed by Lenovo.

It is NOT a 4 core, 1MB cpu. It is an 8 core, 4 x a73 core, 4 x a53, cache varying depending on the core.
So your concern is not warranted, its an excellent performing chip equal to a midrange snapdragon, and it'll be a fine performer for many years.
