Lenovo ThinkPad 183827U 10.1" 64GB Android Tablet

Bought this Thinkpad Tablet 64GB version and also picked up the Folio Keyboard case and the charger stand. Thought I was going to love this Tablet and was I ever wrong. Each time I used it I became frustrated. This unit is not ready for prime time, the software is glitchy and crashes often.

I'm very familiar with Thinkpad laptops, I have owned nearly all of the x series laptops ranging from the X31-x32-x61 and currently own the x220 tablet. I have nothing but praise for Thinkpads.

The hardware portion of the Thinkpad Tablet is great, a real quality build with lots of thoughtful amenities included. Can't say anything negative about the hardware but the Android 3. 1 honeycomb software drove me crazy. If you plan on using this tablet for business you may want to consider a windows tablet instead. If you just want to play with entertainment features than this tablet might be a good fit for you.

Review about Lenovo ThinkPad 183827U 10.1" 64GB Android Tablet

I took home an iPad2 from work and demoed it side by side with my Lenovo.

The Lenovo is a FAR BETTER DEVICE in almost all categories. The only weakness is crap sound. But remember this was built as a business tool, not a toy. Nearly ALL the bundled software is very very useful! And the sound is functional, its just not very loud. So, use headphones.

I would immediately install Amazon market place, simply for the free app a day.

Also, there are a few good articles out there on how to add a 3G card (if you are comfortable violating your warranty terms) for about $100.00 as of the time of this review.

Since I own not only headphones, but several sets of small amplified computer speakers, the sound is not really an issue for me. I take this to work, work all day, then go to the gym and read about work while I'm on the treadmill.

If you are a technically competent person, if you buy the stylus, you will never go back to paper again.

Buy it today.
