Lenovo IdeaPad K1 – 10.1 inch Tablet with Dual core processor

Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1 Review

Lenovo Ideapad Tablet K1 is equitably good and bad in its configuration. Good as it is packed with all possible features a HoneyComb devices offer; Bad because of its thick, bulky design. Overall Lenovo plays safe delivering solid HoneyComb OS tablet while others are just stuck on the previous Android versions.

Looks

Adding to what described earlier, this tablet isn’t the thinnest, prettiest or cheapest – it modestly fits at the mid-level of everything. The two tone back design is quite exceptional; it is covered all over in a sturdy aluminum and glossy plastic which somehow prevents it from visible finger smudges.

A dedicated home button is placed at the bottom of the 10.1 inch screen which feels jobless with HoneyComb OS. However, by holding that button for a longer time, you can play some cool tricks- like hold the button down to capture screenshot of your current display or swipe down the button to return back to the main menu from the applications.

On the left of the device is a power button, Screen Orientation lock, MicroSD card slot and volume rocker while at the bottom are your entertainment interfaces including a micro HDMI port, headphone jack and common USB sync &charging dock.

Performance

Powerful ARM Cortex A9 dual core processor with 1GHz clocking speed, 1GB RAM and NVidia Tegra 2 T20 definesLenovo Ideapad K1 tablet performance perfectly. You can imagine how swiftly and smoothly your graphics, movies, and games would work with all these!

K1 Ideapad tablet works on Android 3.1 which may not impress the purists but they might like more than 30 pre installed applications including famous Kindle and Netflix, Social Touch (instant messaging) and Lenovo Applications Shop.

It comes in two different choices of internal memory – 16GB and 32GB where in the former version it can be expanded up to 32GB using MicroSD Card.

Ideapad K1 Tablet won’t make you run short with its battery power as its 7800mAH battery makes sure that you can talk and work up to 10 hours.
