CV
Thus, we examined the main lines of Lenovo tablets with a 10-inch display. Appropriate devices may differ in concept, level of supported technologies, dimensions. It should be noted that each Lenovo tablet (10 inches) we reviewed is with 3G, all devices support Wi-Fi. Thus, there will be no problems with accessing the Internet if there are appropriate channels, even if outdated brand models are used.
Tablets produced by Lenovo are controlled by the most common operating systems on the open hardware platform market - Android and Windows. This predetermines the ease of user transition from one device to another. If a person decides to purchase a Lenovo tablet (10 inches) belonging to a different line, instead of the usual ThinkPad, the instructions for it will probably not even be needed. Especially if the corresponding device will be controlled by the same OS as the previous one. Although the management of tablets and smartphones for Android and Windows is generally unified. Basic operations with applications are carried out through the same "gestures" on the screen. The user, working in both operating systems, uses the same interface elements. But if you need instructions for the tablet, you can always download it from the manufacturer's website. Lenovo creates detailed and at the same time very logical and easy-to-learn manuals for users of its devices.
Of course, the models we have considered are difficult to describe as capable of representatively reflecting all the specifics of the respective lines. We examined them only to see the conceptual difference between the solutions from the Chinese brand.
Same line models: how noticeable are the differences?
On the market of mobile devices, a situation may well arise when, within the same line of the manufacturer, the differences between devices will be as significant as when compared with devices of other concepts. However, with regard to Lenovo products, between tablets of the same series,there are usually more similarities. Especially in design.
So, for example, within the IdeaTab line, the Lenovo 10-inch A7600 tablet is popular. It can be noted that it is very similar in design to the S6000 we reviewed above, as well as the TAB 2 A10-70, although the second device belongs to a different line.
There are also few hardware differences between the A7600 and S6000. Among the most obvious - in the A7600 model, the front camera has a higher resolution - 2 MP. It can also be noted that the A7600 tablet costs a bit more. Thus, Lenovo can bring devices to the market with minimal differences in characteristics, but this adapts specific models to the needs of certain user groups. There are lovers of mobile devices for whom a high-resolution front camera is a secondary criterion for choosing a device, and they may prefer to save money by purchasing an analog that is in no way inferior in other respects within the same Lenovo line.
