Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1

Ideapad K1 is a buggy cheap-feeling tablet that is overpriced for what it delivers. The iPad (and to some extent Samsung 750) feels like a single solid piece of glass and metal. The Ideapad on the other hand is a creaky thing - like a dummy piece kept in mobile stores. Its thickness cannot be excused by any extra connectivity options - no USB, no VGA, no full-HDMI - just a mini-HDMI and SD slot. It has more storage space than Apple and Samsung tablets at the same price range, but ask yourself this? What will you use it for? Videos and presentations? The screen is mediocre and the person sitting next to you will find it dim. To connect to a projector, you'd have to track down a mini-HDMI to VGA converter.

And apart from its obvious hardware faults, the Honeycomb OS on the tablet is buggy and keeps interrupting normal working. This continued even after a factory-restore.

"Flipkart is good , but not lenovo" This tablet is really a mixed bag. This do not have any 3G slot or any option to add same. The lenovo does not have any accessories out in the market in India. Hence even if your power adapter ( this attaches to their proprietary slot) burns , you got a 22 K crap with you. They should have added a usb transfer cum charger port straight away, and it would have been a good buy. The USB port cable 0B65411 ( this can connect the usb pen drive etc) is not available here in India. Was only available to few at US months ago). K1 has discontinued and faster has it's support and accessories. Hence don't buy a dead and orphaned product. Would have given 0 star if option was their.

I received the device 4 days back, and i must say this is excellent value for money. As like others, i did my share of research before buying this and it lived up to the expectation the moment i started using it.

I am an advanced android user, and can definitely recommend it to anyone interested to buy a 10 inch tablet with only Wi-fi.

Regardless of some negative reviews that is available online (which every other product has, even iPad) i went for this.

The device feels wonderful to use, screen and system is very responsive and once i got an immediate update to Android 3.2.1, it felt even better.

It lacks a few things like normal usb connection, etc, but for someone looking to use for browsing, emails and basic daily activities, at Rs. 21000/- this is a wonderful buy.

hello.I just got this one last week.This is awesome tablet I must say.dont know why people r not interested in it.So let me describe it in short.
PROS:
1.Good CPU and RAM- it has dual core and 729MB of RAM that is more than enough for a tablet.why do u need a quad core right now?dual core will go good for next 2years also.it does not show any lag even after opening some HD games and browser and all.so CPU is the best.

2.Display- its 10.1 inch display is perfect for ebook reading,video ,youtube and browsing.I dont think a 7inch tab (though has greater portability)would satisfy these. display is bright but not as bright as my mobile LG optimus Black.its okay in indoors but direct sunlight it becomes dull.display ppi is 149 same as the new costly samsung note 800.tough screen is very perfect and it has 10 point multi touch(tested with an app).

3.Connectivity- it has HDMI,USB host,bluetooth,wifi,GPS and all features.but u need to buy extra cable for USB host.

4.Battery backup- it takes much time to charge it full.but backup is too good.

5.Internal memory- 32 GB SSD is huge and also supports another micro SD card.

6.Cost- at this price @19k u cant get any 10 inch tab with such features.

CONS:

1.OS-its android honeycomb 3.2. Lenovo releases ICS update but that doesnt include google play and other apps so no use of it.I did not find much difference in HC and ICS.so it does not matter for me.

2.Sound- sound is not great though it has stereo speakers.

3.Camera- 5MP & 2MP cam are for casual shots and video chat only dont expect much more.who wants to use a tab as a cam????

4.Wi-fi issue- this is the one problem I am disappointed only.it is weak in receiving wifi signals.

finally u will not regret with this tablet at all.just go for it or wait for lenovo to release a windows 8 tablet.for android 10inch it is just enough.lenovo customer support is also good in india as I got good support for my lenovo laptop.

I had been to Croma in Sony world Bangalore and found this tablet. To be frank, I liked this tab in just one look. I was comparing this with other pads around. I tried tethering my Samsung Galaxy Pop to this Tablet and it was successfully connecting the internet and the speed was amazing. Its a better tablet to use who has got a smartphone with the hotspot facility.
The speed compared to the samsung galaxy tab is almost similar and those who have a budget of 20000 should surely go for this and I have decided to buy this by April 1st week.
