Maybe check the nits before you buy, lenovo tabs last year were all dim af at max brightness, could barely see the screen in the best buy. They do have newer ones with better brightness like the us y700, forgot what it is called.

Lenovo Legion Tab, but that one is in a completely different price and performance category.

WOW... where do I start...

11″ 2.5K IPS Touchscreen Display - 90Hz.... GOOD ENOUGH.

MediaTek Dimensity 6300... THIS IS MY PROBLEM... a G99 is slightly faster.

8 GB Memory... THIS IS GOOD

256 GB Storage - THIS IS GOOD

Integrated Arm Mali-G57.... Don't know why it is mentioning the CPU core within the CPU... again, we already said it is shit because a G99 (the SLOWEST you should go) is faster. The fact that it is barely faster... I will give the 6300 CPU a pass... but oh so barely.

Taken from Notebookcheck
Average Benchmarks Mediatek Helio G99 → 100% n=17
Average Benchmarks Mediatek Dimensity 6300 → 97% n=17

MC2 Tab Pen and Folio Case for $180 + Free Shipping with Prime... OK, it has a pen but the case means shit if it falls. I like drop proof cases. And I never use the pen... so I am not a great person to ask.

But this is what gets me... for $70.00 you get a faster tablet... OK this screen is slightly better but that is about it. The Lenovo is 90Hz the Teclast is 60Hz. The Lenovo is 2.5K screen and the Teclast is 2k screen. Also 11" vs 10.4". Again, the screen is better with the Lenovo but not that much better.

The fact that this 69.99 tablet is Faster... and the screen is not too bad... that is all I have to say.

The Lenovo Idea Tab College Tablet (11") has a maximum brightness of 500 nits. This tablet also features a 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600) IPS display with a 90Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for indoor use at school or home.
Brightness: 500 nits
Display Type: IPS LCD
Resolution: 2.5K (2560 x 1600)
Refresh Rate: 90Hz

This is not too bad.

Lincplus T3 (not as good)
Display Size: 10.4 inches
Display Technology: In-Cell IPS
Resolution: 2000 x 1200 pixels
Aspect Ratio: 16:10
Brightness: 320 - 350 nits
Key Features: 2K HD display, vibrant colors, good viewing angles, and Widevine L1 support for high-resolution streaming


As you can see, I can not justify the extra $100 for a slightly better screen.

I have this. For my use case it is good. Use it mainly indoors to check email on outlook, browse the internet and watch movies, youtube or NBA. As one user has said it can be on the darker side but increasing the brightness fixes it for me. What I have noticed is that it can have occasional lags when you have multiple open apps (I like closing them when i am not using the app so not a issue for me) but you can definitely feel that it is not as snappy as a iPad A16 (daughter has one) when shifting to a different app. The pen is just a plus for me, but the case included is good enough so that I don't have to buy which adds to the total cost. I expect to be able to use this for at least 3 years before it slows down to where it gets annoying so for $60/yr use definitely what I'm looking for.

Amz review on the noname tablet -I knocked 2 stars off because the tablet has 3 suspicious apps installed. They can be uninstalled, but after some time, they would reinstall themselves automatically. This makes me suspicious that they're spyware app. Don't use this tablet for anything important or with sensitive information.​

So I read that review... and I HAVE THIS TABLET "Lincplus T3 8GB"

That person did not name the spyware or the three apps. What I remember is that it was the cleanest Android OS that I ever seen in my life. And that it was really snappy.... no bloatware to slow you down.


I don't believe that person AT ALL.

Also... there are no specific, widespread reports in reliable sources that directly link the LincPlus T3 model to this issue. I googled it. And the Lincplus T3 was extremely popular on GitHub and reddit due to it's specs and price... I am going back three years... but my point is, this tablet was chosen by the crazy reddit geeks and they approved it... and no one mentioned anything else except how clean the OS is and that is has absolutely zero bloatware.

But right now... it has just been proven that Samsung installed spyware that is embedded within their OS and CAN NEVER BE DELETED as of now. Google it... there are hundreds of articles and I am pretty sure there will be a class action law suite very soon. That means every single Samsung phone (they are SPYING ON YOU) and every single Samsung tablet (they are SPYING ON YOU). The last time a story like this broke out it was Lenovo... and they GOT PAID MONEY to install some rando 3rd party software that was really spyware.

Lenovo was financially compensated to pre-install the controversial Superfish "VisualDiscovery" adware on hundreds of thousands of laptops and tablets it sold to consumers between late 2014 and early 2015. Lenovo received a cut of the proceeds generated by the software's ability to inject pop-up ads into users' browsing sessions.....

JUST IMAGINE... you no longer have to worry about popups from Youtbe and google... now you have to worry about popups from SUPERFISH which will give Lenovo money for every add. This is what I call CORPORATE GREED. And as I said... Samsung JUST GOT CAUGHT!!!!
