I've had my Lenovo tablet for a month now and have no complaints at all. This is my first tablet. 8" is the perfect size. I was also initially worried about having enough space with the 16GB of internal memory but still have almost half of that space left and don't foresee any significant usage in the future. I use the memory mainly for some downloaded documents and games. The tablet's speed is great for checking email and using the internet. I haven't paid particular attention to the battery life, though it must be very close to the 8 hours advertised because I only have to use the tablet while it's charging if I forget to charge it overnight. The speakers are fantastic and the price was terrific (I got it on sale). I highly recommend this tablet!

I have only owned two tablets over the last few years, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and an MSI tablet. Both were 7" and both had 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. I learned that for me a MINIMUM for a tablet and a good smartphone is 1 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage. With ONLY 8 GB of storage I had to go into the device, on more than one occasion and delete stuff, because it was running out of storage space.
Therefore, this time I looked for a tablet that had a decent price and a minimum of 1 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage, THIS Lenovo met all of my requirements, and to my delight it also exceeds them too.
With a Quad core CPU it is FAST, the screen is bigger than my older tablets at 8 inches. It is also one of the best screens at 1280 x 800 resolution, and the audio is AWESOME.
It has TWO speakers that are as wide apart, at either end of the tablet. So it gives you excellent stereo. The two speakers are about 8" apart, and has a fairly loud volume. So close up you get some really nice stereo without earphones. It also has Dolby, which improves it even the sound even more. I connected it to my nice Vizio soundbar via Bluetooth and it sounded as good an any stereo I have ever heard.
So what more could you want? Oh the regular price was $130 but I got it with Best Buy's 'Price Matching' policy for only $99.99. So I am a very happy customer. Most other good tablets, such as the Samsungs the cost is MUCH higher, for the SAME features. SO pay less and get more for this Lenovo tablet

I bought this item for my daughter because I was very impressed with the Tab 1. Battery life was great and the screen was impeccable! This thing delivers just as well except for my one major selling point with the previous model: the screen!! I was spoiled due to the full 1080p resolution on the previous model and you can tell the difference. I kinda knew that coming in but it was a bit disappointing that for around the same price, I got more from the previous generation. This thing was updated to Android Lollipop right away while the previous gen is still waiting for an update.
Other than what's mentioned, this is a great tab for the price. The UI can use some work but that's what you buy Android for, right? You can customize the UI with any launcher you want.

Very pleased with this low cost tablet. Good performance, good screen, great battery life. Camera could be better but will do in a pinch. LIght weight and good speakers. Touch screen sometimes needs an extra touch to register, not a deal breaker. If you are looking for a nice light tablet with good screen, performance and excellent battery life, this is it.

I've been looking to buy this tablet for a few months now, and I finally made the jump! 1st off I love to Dolby Atmos feature!! the front firing speakers are great not super loud but great! Once you connect headphones via aux or Bluetooth and depending on the sound quality of your headphones music YouTube and movies will sound aweesomme!! I've paired this tablet with my LG 3.0 sound bar also Dolby and wow im impressed. It has 16 GB internal and 1GB ram. memory wise for me is more than enough but can also expand to a MicroSD. Ram... umm it handles very well but i wish 2GB would be offered or at least 1.5 GB but it does its job. Camera is 5mp rear 2mp front but you dont buy a tablet for the camera. Screen res is very nice blacks are black color vivid and the 8in screen is very nice. Overall i live it happy i bought it and for a budget tablet its a must!

I bought this tablet mainly so I can watch videos, read comics and PDF documents. I run 1080 HD videos files no problem on this tablet. The front speakers do really well in public spaces, which is one of the reasons I bought the tablet. Screen is really nice, good viewing angles.
The one issue I had with it, the screen didn't work well with a stylus. It would lag and skip. Something that probably could be fixed with a screen protector, I didn't try it.
Also on some larger games, there is a bit of a lag on start, but once started, it seemed to run fairly smooth.

I purchased this tablet over apple because of the specs and especially the speedie processer and beautiful resolution. This android tablet lives up to its specifications and is really easy to operate. The battery life appears to be much better then most of the other tablets.

awesome tablet, great for work and play. very nice design and thin. Feels great in your hands. Hi tec,yet still easy to use. My 5 year old had no problem getting right to the stuff that matters to him. Minor cast your screen to another device is cool and useful. The HD display is of great quality and the 10 point finger axis is truly 10 point. Games,movies, pictures and video is so crisp and clear, ture HD and the Atmos speakers are so amazing. The best sound quality I have ever had with a phone or tablet,even better than some computers...... definitely a great buy and I will now check out other Lovno products from now on. ... O,and it is very fast. You can multitask with this tablet. Really it should cost more than it does. ....

I absolutely love this tablet! I wanted something small to carry around through my day, and it fits that criteria pretty well. An excellent starter tablet, very user friendly. Takes a few seconds to boot but afterwards it stays on; keeps a charge for days at a time, tho you should probably charge once it dips into the 20% range to be safe. Holds WiFi but bad for Skype calls, not the BEST audio quality- a little staticy- but not tinny or grating. Not an HD camera but decent enough for casual use. Highly recommended budget tablet.

High quality screen n sound. 8inch perfect format as e reader. Don t like volume rocker switch on side. Could be placed differently. Android system up to date. Exchanged Tab 8 for a Yoga Tab 8 which has a great tablet handle n stand. Yoga series more fun to use for $50 more. Easier to hold, hand, tilt or stand...

My only reason for not 5 stars is because there sometimes an issue with charging where it doesn't charge. I got this as a trade so I didn't get the protection on it. It still charges but sometimes it's plugged in and it doesn't register a charge? Other than that it sounds great! Looks great and i love the speakers on the front instead of back or sides! Selling point for me!

Do not understand why there would be any negatives on this little tablet. Works great boots up fast and as long as your not playing really detailed games the battery lasts a good while. This is not an expensive machine and for the money you get what you pay for. It's a great starter tablet for the money.

The graphics are really top rate. My grandson has used it more than I have. Operation is easy and that is what we wanted. So far I have been able to do anything I wish to on it. Price was right. Great buy!
