Lenovo IdeaPad K1 10-Inch Tablet - Quick Review: lenovo ideapad tablet

To enter a very demanding and highly competitive market as the 10-inch tablet market with a new high-end device right now could prove quite tricky. However, this is exactly what Lenovo has done, recently releasing the IdeaPad K1, a slate that will enter into direct competition with big names as the iPad 2, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

We will quickly review this new 10-inch tablet in the following post, trying to establish if the IdeaPad K1 stands any chance of becoming a selling success.

Design and display

Featuring a matte, chrome-colored side and back trim, as well as a deep red back panel, the IdeaPad K1 comes with a bold, original and good-looking design. In terms of dimensions and weight, however, Lenovo's new tablet is below-par when comparing it to its main rivals. The 1.6 pounds weight and the 10.4x 7.44 x.52 inches make the IdeaPad K1 a rather bulky and heavy device.

The 10.1-inch display with 1280x800 pixels resolution is decent at a first sight, offering good viewing angles and so-so contrast and colors. However, the glare and the poor contrast make the IdeaPad's screen well below average.

Performance, storage and software

In terms of performance, the IdeaPad K1 does a pretty good job, featuring the strong and fast 1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor with 1 GB of RAM memory. The cameras are pretty poor, on the other hand, but this is quite standard for 10-inch tablets nowadays.

As far as storage goes, the IdeaPad K1 is available in two models, a 32 GB and a 64 GB version and it also features a micro SD card reader with which you can extend your tablet's memory. In terms of software, the K1 runs on Android Honeycomb 3.1, which should mean lots of apps and snappy performance.

Connectivity and pricing

While Lenovo is not a big name on the tablet market right now, the company has certainly thought big when building this tablet. The K1 features Bluetooth, WiFi compatibility, as well as 3G and HDMI, in short everything you could hope to get in terms of connectivity.

Regarding the price of the device, the IdeaPad K1 is currently available for a little below 500 dollars( the 32 GB Wi-Fi only version), which is not extremely expensive, if you look at what it offers.

Wrap-up

Featuring a pretty attractive design, good performance level, decent software and coming at a quite competitive price, the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 seems a sensible choice for some of you technology fanatics.

However, the display and portability problems, as well as the fact that it is not produced by a big name in the tablet market will probably make most of you avoid buying the slate.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Tablet - A Quick Presentation

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Tablet - A Quick Presentation: samsung tablet pc prices

Only weeks after its official release on the market, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 10-inch tablet proves to be one of the most popular and best-selling devices of this kind. On a very crowded market segment, Samsung has managed to create a fast, reliable, but also affordable piece of equipment.

Design and display

While the design has nothing quite extraordinary, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a fairly nice-looking tablet, with straight-forward lines and beautiful curves. Also, the Samsung tablet is remarkably light, weighing only 1.25 pounds and measuring 10.1 X 6.9 X 0.34 inches. It is even lighter than the iPad 2, which is not something that we can say about many 10-inch tablets out there. The 10.1-inch widescreen display offers great image quality and clarity at a 1280x800 pixels high-definition resolution.

Performance, storage and software

The dual-core Tegra 2 processor and the 1 GB of RAM memory will surely provide you with all the power and speed you might need from a tablet, while the 3 MP rear-facing camera and the 2 MP front-facing camera will offer decent, but not extraordinary image quality for your photos, videos or video calls. In terms of storage, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes in two variants, a 16 GB and a 32 GB version, but lacks the option of extending the internal memory through an SD card. As far as the operating system goes, the Samsung tablet will meet your every need, being powered by the Android 3.1 with open access to over 200,000 apps for full customization.

Connectivity, pricing and battery life

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 offers WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, being a satisfying enough device from this point of view also. However, there is no HDMI, an option featured by many other 10-inch tablet computers. The battery life is another aspect where the Samsung tablet can compare to probably any other tablet on the market today (and that includes the iPad 2).

The autonomy of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is of about 10 hours of real life in normal conditions. As far as pricing goes, the Samsung 10-inch tablet is quite affordable for the performance level and technical specifications offered, being currently available for about 500 dollars (the 16 GB version) or 600 dollars (the 32 GB version).

Wrap-up

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has made quite an impact after being released on the market. Furthermore, after looking over its technical specifications and its price, it is our objective opinion that this tablet will continue to sell in high numbers. It has its faults, it's true, but the strong points overwhelm the minor slip-ups of the Samsung engineers.

A passionate computer geek, Mike loves to write about tablet reviews, comparisons and accessories. One of the gadgets he has tested lately is the simple, yet amazing Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Have a question about this tablet? Don't hesitate to ask it!
