As part of Amazon's Boxing Day specials I managed to get hold of a Lenovo IdeaPad A1 Android tablet. Normally £200, I got mine for £150. Yes, it's been a while since I got it but I've been too busy enjoying it to get around to completing the review (4 mon...
An incredibly well built tablet with a superb resolution screen at a bargain price. A lack of long term support and a number of niggling bugs is the only let-down...

I'm looking at the Lenovo Ideapad A1 today and giving some first impressions of the hardware. This tablet runs Android 2 .3 Gingerbread so can be compared to the original 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab , or HTC Flyer . The key selling point for this tablet is...

With the IdeaPad Tablet A1 ($249 direct, 16GB), Lenovo has attempted to make a fun and easy-to-use 7-inch tablet for the masses. Unfortunately for Lenovo, Amazon has already cornered that market with the Kindle Fire ($199, 4 stars), our Editors' Choi...

The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 tablet is by no means a bad product; in fact it's a good alternative to those no-name tablets we see at Fry's and MicroCenter (Azpen, ChinaMart, even some Coby's aren't so hot). But the tablet's OS and CPU are already dated, and...

One day soon, you'll find a free tablet in every box of Cracker Jacks, but until then, $249 remains a decent price for a 7-inch Android slate. Unlike other bargain tablets that are loss-leaders for content services such as the or creaky also-rans such...

Summarizing, we can say the Lenovo offers a solidly manufactured device with the IdeaPad A1. The device is adequate for surfing on the Internet, watching a little video (no Full HD material) and playing an occasional game and it fulfills its purpose. The...

We got our hands on one of them, and it's not the Kindle or Nook. Lenovo's Ideapad A1 was also introduced late last year, but unlike the overhyped Kindle and Nook it got a lukewarm reception. Unlike the competition, the A1 is a run of the mill Android tab...
The Lenovo A1 is a mixed bag to say the least and frankly I'm not sure what to make of it.Just looking at the price and spec sheet would make me slap a Top Value award at the end of the review and get it over with. A brand name Android tablet with 16GB of...

A well-rounded tablet for the price. The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 has everything you could need from a slate, including a decent screen, GPS, Bluetooth, and a front and back facing camera. It's a fully-functional, ultra-portable, and very affordable tablet.The s...
After spending some quality time with the Lenovo IdeaPad A1, the only thing I can say is that I like it, for the price. I recommended one to my mom when she was looking for a small tablet in the $200 price range. I would get one to let my kids watch movie...

The Lenovo IdeaPad A1's $199 price point makes it an exceptional value. It has specifications that while not mind-blowing, get the job done.It's not going to deliver a full-blown experience like Apple's iPad, but it's perfect for those that want to check...
