So. I'm in the market for a surface pro 2 and thought I'd come back to xda after months to see if anyone had any good deals and there are only cheap Chinese products.
Well you can get a refurbished surface pro (tablet with full windows 8 and waccom digitizer screen and pen) for $399 and a warranty comes with it. It is a reeeeeeally good deal. I may get it if I don't find a good deal on the pro 2.
Go here it was the first link I found on Google.

I guess I'll check back in a few months to see if there is anything interesting on xda.

Linky.
I've actually purchased electronics from them that are a 5 or 6 that I would rate alot higher than that. As a matter of fact I just got an Evo 4G from them that was rated a 6. I'll see on Friday how good it looks.
And good find. Im thinking about getting one of them.
I bought " 5 " rated phone from Cowboom and found it to be in bad cosmentic shape and partially working . I returned it and the refund was processed in timely amnner . I recommend buying "6" or better .
Appears they are not longer discounted. Interesting site nonetheless.

Sales there only last for one day. If they have leftovers, it usually makes it to eBay after a month.

I know that the lenovo tablet is 1 year old, do you think it's worth to buy now? My main use would be note taking.

It's worth getting if you can get a good deal on one. Lenovo has lots of refurbs on sale, and there's some good deals on ebay right now. I wouldn't suggest spending over $300 on one though (but that's just me, and I'm kinda cheap).
For note taking, it's probably one of the better tablets for that purpose (at least for notes with stylus/pen). But Windows 8 tablets will be here soon too (one of which will be the ThinkPad Tablet 2).
Thanks for the quick response. Do you mind if you have any links to good deals? Ebay has some refurbs but they're 300+.
Regarding Tablet 2, yes windows would be nice, but I really don't want to spend a lot on a tablet.

I'll PM you some. Mine was a factory sealed Lenovo refurb. The gorilla glass had one small scratch in it (it's a refurb, but I was hoping it would be scratch-free) but was otherwise like-new condition with a refurb sticker on the back.
Me neither, especially that much for something with an Atom processor (even if it is a ThinkPad...). But I'm sure Intel has made great improvements with them over the past couple of years or so.
I just went out to Currys to try and pick one up instore however it was out of stock. Also out of stock on the online website.
However, its still available on their eBay outlet store for the same price. (£99)
Is this still worth picking up then? Are the going to be discontinuing this model? Are the eBay ones their surplus stock their trying to get rid off?
Do you think the price will drop any further?
Thanks!
Very much doubt the price will drop any further. The £99 price tag is to get rid of surplus stock. I got mine at this price as well.
Thanks for that!
So you reckon its still with a pop? Not much else better I can get for £99 can I?
Performance Per Buck (PPB also know and Bang for Buck BFB) is that good that its not just worth getting its worth ripping it out their hands. I have had one which was faulty but the second one is perfect! just make sure you get the Magnetic cover as well!!!!
For a tablet that can keep up with the modern phones its smashing mate.
Yes I managed to play with one in store and it handled everything I threw at it with ease. I was just a bit concerned that it isn't really as popular as other tablets despite the low price.
I was deciding between this and the Nexus 7 2013, but I'd probably not go for the latter as the chip is ancient in tech world now and Nexus 8 is announced this week...?
Thanks all the same for the help, was just really what I was looking for, a confirmation I am doing the right thing. [emoji3]
I guess I'll place my order in the morning.
Cheers!
This tablet crushes the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 in benches. A tablet that is not popular is not always a bad sign.
But there is also the down side of the company that has its branding on the Nvidia Tegra Note 7 (tegratab) in our case in the UK its Advent as they have bad rep in the computer side of things how ever with the TegraNote 7 the only thing Advent did was Brand the Device the sold making was down to Nvidia!! hence why Nvidia supplies the OTA's and the EVGA GiGabyte etc are all the same. The only major difference is the partition called LBH which holds the bootanimiation with the company whitelable.
I got mine from here, mint, saved £20 for a sd card and case

Just placed an order for one... [emoji3]
Quick question, does this come with a screen protector already pre-installed?
And any cade recommendations?
Cracking tablet. I have a nexus 2012 and I have to be honest the performance of the tegra note is just a joy. Love the official case as well. Worth every penny. In fact I am giving my niece my nexus!

Thanks for all the feedback! Typing on this beast now, I've set it all up and it has really impressed me. Unfortunately the official case is not available anywhere at all!
Android L. Hope it can still come to this device officially.

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and haven't regretted it one bit. For £99 delivered to your door it provides one heck of a bang for the cost. I'm still looking for a decent case in the UK for it, though.
I got the official case through pc world online. Got it delivered to my local store. Does the trick extremely well!

I used a Nexus 7 screen protector off ebay 99p for 2, had to cut it down slightly and overlaps the camera, but hardly use that

I paid £3.19 for a pack of 6 off Amazon. [emoji51]
Not here till Thursday at the earliest so in the mean time I have to put up with the scratch ridden plastic cover it came with. (Fruit Ninja with Stylus caused it) ?
has anyone tried Skinomi® TechSkin - EVGA Tegra Note 7" Screen Protector Ultra Clear Shield
Tempted to get one of these..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271447868326
Best case for Tegra Note is Fintie case for HP Slate 7 Extreme. It is 100% compatible. Also the magnets work like a charm.
Obviously replace the screen is the first thought, I have read reviews on Amazon about the replacement screen from ASUS and its mixed reviews. Should I just buy a new or risk getting a lemon?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
For the cost of one of these now....just buy another one used. Or a new 2013.
I wouldn't personally go through the hassle and cost of trying to fix it. ?
Buying a used nexus 7 is a better option:good:
I got a new (barely used) screen + frame assembly on ebay for $50. It works great and the seller was just a couple states away. I haven't had a single problem with my new screen. Parts can be found relatively easily if you don't want the cost of buying a whole used or new tablet. I can't say for sure about the amazon products, but my experience in buying a new screen was painless, quick, and cheap. My kids use my nexus 7 more than I do, so I was more worried about getting it back up and running immediately to avoid being referee to their fights lol.
I got one for 65$ from eBay China seller. And replaced it myself..

Edit : Price bumped back up to $558.69. Sorry, you missed the deal!
NCIX Canada has one open box (or refurb, it is unclear) left for sale for $507.60
There were 3 when I checked last night. There is only 1 left.
NCIX is a reputable source.

I bought mine as new off kijiji when it first came out for $450 with the Samsung smart case - it is my favourite tablet currently running cm12.1 - I picked up an otter box case for it but hate the screen protector it comes with so don't use it but you could drop it on concrete and not worry lol it is still the best large tablet you can buy today

@ golfinggino, you can remove the screen protector on the otterbox and get a tempered glass one and it works great. Thats what I did.
