Hey guys,
I know a guy who is interested in getting rid of his Lenovo K1 Ideapad, and he is asking $40 US for it. Do you guys think it's a good deal ?
I checked up on its specs and came to know it has the outdated Tegra 2 processor. I only intend to use it to watch some mini-HD (say 720p) vids, youtube, and play some regular 2D games like Where's my Water, Where's my Perry, Kingdom Rush, etc., Do you guys think it can handle that ? and do you guys think it's worth the $40 price tag ?
Would really appreciate any info on this
Thanx a lot in advance for any info
I have a few of them all running CM 10.1. They are well worth $40. They go on EBay for $150. Very reliable tablets.

Hi guys
I thinking about getting this tablet used. I think i can get it at a fair price. 2000 DKK ~ 400$
Is it still good compared to the competetion?
The last tablet i owned was the Folio 100 which had a horrible OS and even more horrific viewing angles.
So would you guys still consider it a good buy? I have enough experience to root and install a custom OS if you find that to be necessary.

Is the price you quoted for wifi only or a 3G/gsm version?
The US wifi only models can be picked up for about $400 new with a great sale and coupon.
But imho the Xoom is a terrific tablet...I think that considering everything it is the best now available. I guess the viewing angles are better with some other tabs, but it has never been an issue for me.
It's for the WiFi only, but in Denmark retail priceses are much higher than US or other prices. Our VAT i suprisingly high. A brand new WiFi only tablet would cost me around 900$.
Well i'm glad to hear that. With the Folio if i tipped it 5 degress i wouldnt be able to read anything off the screen ^.^

No, Xoom is nowhere as bad as that! So that is a very good price. Grab it...then root it and update to HC3.2 using the wonderful Tiamat Rom, and get language support if needed.This tablet really comes alive with rooting/customization. And it's a complex computer but still very tough, inside and out. I love it.
See if you can get em to knock $50 off. We can get a new one for about 400 USD.

That's a great price considering your location. This tablet is totally worth it still. Best on the market for what I need. If I could get any other it would probably be the TF or the galaxy tab but I don't think that I could live without the SD card slot.

I've really been looking around for a tablet. I don't want to spend any more than $300. I would like a tablet that has good dev support but is also a nice device. I don't care if I have to buy it off of ebay for me to get it in my price range. I like 7" and 10" preferably with a dual core. Any suggestions?
Edit: I would also like for it to most likely be able to run honeycomb in the future. Official or not.
The Acer Iconia A100 just came out with an MSRP of $329, I'm sure it will get a lot of attention by the development community.
At that price, the nook color is probably you're best bet.
I personally am a netbook user.

It's getting pretty mediocre reviews so far.
+1 at the price mentioned, nookCOLOR running CM7
Normally I would agree with the NC, but only if trying to spend around $200. For $129 more (new vs recert), you get:
Dual core 1Ghz processor (vs NC single 800Mhz)
Mini-HDMI
Honeycomb 3.2
1GB RAM vs 512MB
Front and rear camera
Is the Nook Color rooted with CM7 worth buying? Or is it better to pony up a little more for one of the more robust tablets?

Depends on what you want to do with it.
You can browse the web, play games like Angry Birds, watch Netflix, listen to Pandora or Google Music, read epub books...
I recommend buying recertified to get the most value. I bought mine from Overstock and you could not tell it was not new. $199 shipped. Ebay has them for $180 shipped.
Nook Color with CM7 is your best bet if you can live without Bluetooth. (Well technically there is an on board bluetooth chip that has been enabled in CM7 but without an antenna it's range is about 2 inches
No cameras....but the only time I have heard of a camera being used on a tablet it was a punchline in a comics joke.
Bottom line, Nook Color is the best $200 I ever spent. Only missing piece for me is bluetooth.
What about the gtab. Do you think its a good buy if I can get one for 240 with a dock?

Asus Transformer hands down. Laptop dock, SD card slot, HDMI out, honeycomb, front and rear camera. Beautiful tablet and dirt cheap at 299
Edit: can't find it for that prize anymore but it's worth the extra 50 at Amazon or target

For that price, he'd be better of going to staples.com using the 100$ rebate off tablets, then get a toshiba thrive for 329 [after 100$ off] for the 8gb model, then just use a bigger sd card, along with all the full ports.
Asus is 16gb

I don't own any Bluetooth devices...don't even use one on my phone. No loss for me.
I think I'll look into getting a refurb Nook color.
Sorry if this is wrong forum, but I am looking at buying a tablet, and I was thinking about getting one of these cheapo chinese tablets.
The specs are higher than the specs for tablets made by samsung or motorola and for less than half the price so I was wondering what I should be looking for when deciding between one china tab and another one. Any tablets someone recommends running ICS?
Thanx!
You get what you pay for man...build quality and dev will be low
If you want to go cheap, you can just buy a used Nook Color for around $100.
You can also easily score a Dell Streak 7 or a Acer A100 for less than or around $200 on eBay.
There were refurb HTC Flyers posted a few weeks ago for 189$ shipped after coupon code...
Just shop around
I just did a post about a tablet I got on Amazon. It has to be Chinese made for the price, but I love it. Works great for me and seems to be a LOT like my friends Kindle fire. Here's the link to the thread with specs.
If you can, you should wait for the google tablet by Asus coming out in a few month. The price is not bad at all and I'm sure there's going to be a ton of Dev support.
Like dude said, with Chinese tablet you get what you pay for. Not worth it in the long run.

If you want performance, specs, and dev support on the cheap, you're going to want to pick up a HP Touchpad off CL or eBay. If you shop around you can get a 16 gb for around $150 and a 32 GB for about 2 bills.
10" screen, dual core, awesome speakers, dual boots Android ICS and WebOS, practically unbrickable. Made by a credible company who sporadically decided to stop making tablets and sell all of their stock for pennies on the dollar. That's going to be your best quality, cheap tablet.

I disagree. I was looking for a lower priced tablet, preferably running ics and have good support. I found www.eforchina.com and browsed thru their stuff. I found the Ainol novo 7 Elf. A 7" tabled running ics, with a cortex a8 allwinner cpu 1,2 ghz. 1gb of ddr3 ram, hdmi and usb ports. All that for 125 euro's. I figured i may be disappointed, but we'll see. When i got it, i couldnt be more pleased with it. Its fast, there is plenty of support, its got everything except a big pricetag. I know have three of these in my family. All work pefectly. Hope this helps.

hello everyone,
i can get a 32gb touchpad (not new but with all boxes and bills for warranty) for 250 euros which is 309 dollars. do you think its a good deal? the device is in perfect condition
it has the original touchstone and original case and all other accesories which come with pad. the orignal boxes are available and the bill as well which has warranty. thanks for a quick reply as i need to decide
Are you in Europe? I dont know how the market is over there but that is way too high for a 32 GB touchpad. It is a discontinued product and the native operating system is no longer supported. Sure you can easily flash android on it and it has a nice screen but think there are much better tablets around in that price range. But again, not sure how the market is where you are but just my opinion.
And you might get more responses if you post in the lounge as this really isnt the exact place to ask.
Basically I agree with Mendez; touchpads should go for less than 250 now a days, since they're pretty old and were fire-saled at much lower. If you want to spend 250, you can look out for other deals on tablets like a transformer, or galaxy tab 10

yepp in europe. so its 250 euros converted approx 309 us dollars. prices are genereally higer over here. galaxy tab is costing well over 350 euros and its the 16gb version
and i would use it to play around and "dominate" the device hehehe i have an hp zeen which is a wannabe tab since its a printer control actuallly but very nice to play around with and rooting it removing stuff and so...
the dual boot on the touchpad sounds interesting

That is a terrible deal, you can find a 32GB Touchpad for less than $200 USD on XDA Marketplace. Look elsewhere. Ebay probably has good deals too.
thanks dudes i value the xda member opinions. i got 4 negative replies, so thanks for having saved me money and later regret my decision, i will look elsewhere and maybe even buy another tab

Well, we spent 299€ on this, so YES, it's worth it. Stop and think one moment...
- Quad core, 1500MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4
- 8 mpx camera, I know is not THE BEST, but is great, with good features as photosphere and hdr.
- over 330 ppi, HD IPS 4.7 inch screen
- Regular android updates
- 2 gb ram
- adreno 320 graphic processor...
for 250$ damn yes!!!
It's still a respectable phone, but you may have trouble finding it new for a good price. Google does not stock it anymore, so any ebay sellers that have one new have jacked up the price.

ah really so it's not available in google stores anymore ?
Unfortunately not. Both models are out of stock from the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_4_16GB?id=nexus_4_16gb
The only place I know of to buy it new is the T-Mobile store, but it will run you over $425 there.
