  • Better to get a generic BT case with keyboard or the Lenovo branded wired case? And why would you bother with the dock?

    • +2

      With the wired dock you get a Lenovo laptop standard keyboard including the central cursor control button - having said that I don't do enough typing so I have a simple 10.1 inch wet suit material pocket for mine - but I am tempted to get the KB-case.

      This is by memory from a good review when I was trying to decide my recent purchase from centrecom at this proice.

      The stand/dock frees you foom fiddling with a micro-usb plug and socket for charging - I can easily see that as a failure point and the charge rate is much higher - at least 4x the standard aadaptor charge rate. I have one and it is well worth the bargain price from Lenovo Aus.

      • Thanks! The price of the two of them certainly is attractive - cheapest I can find anywhere in the world for the genuine Lenovo article.

        • +1

          Ozem61 is correct. The dock charges the unit much faster than the plug that comes in the box. It acts as a stand and allows you transfer files from PC whilst charging.

        • Out of curiousity how long does it take to charge without the dock? How long with the dock?

        • +1

          Memory says that from dead flat the dock is about 2 hors and the wallwart takes about 8 hours

          Can't find my source for this but I am approximately right I do believe.

        • ditto

        • 8 hours? Wow no wonder people buy the dock…

  • Anyone know where to get a case for this tablet in Australia, some sellers from HK sell that for $17 but too much hassle when buying from oversea.

  • I have problem registering for the cash back ? Help anyone or is this deal expired ?

    • Just checked the site - Unless you have a ticket and are registered the deal is closed!

  • Thanks ozem61, the deal is closed. I have been procrastinating today at work. Did not really need it but it is a very good price.

  • Thanks OP! bought one! But how can we get the invoice from the ebay deal? Do I just contact the seller for it?

    • +1

      It comes in the package, in paper form. Scan it and then upload it to the powerbuy website.

      • thanks mate :)

  • I'm not sure how the cash back works but did anyone subscribe to one who has no intention of using it? Is there anyway to transfer it? Thanks

    • I dont think it is transferrable. Because you need your name to be same on the invoice & the cashback form. I know because I'be used powerbuy in the past and reveived cashback in 5 working days.

      • Oh thats such a shame! I literally missed it by a few hours. If anyone else has any other idea please let me know! And thanks for replying :)

  • +1

    my tab just arrived so coool:) claiming cash back now hope it works…

  • Has anyone had their cashback approved?

    • not from this deal but I recently had a refund from them for an identical purchase from centrecom for this tablet. It took a day for the approval to show on the site.

  • Anyone could tell the tablet's dimensions and the battery capacity?

  • I found that the battery life is shorter than the wifi one. Does anyone find that as well?

    It is only about 5 hours, but my wifi one will last for 7 hours at least.

    Is it because 3G devices? I turned it off.

    • Keeping 3G on will consume power. As will using it on the 2G network — the SIM is always connected to cellular networks unless you take the SIM out or use Airplane Mode to shut down the cellular service.

    Receive the tablet yesterday, my first tablet and it is very nice and solid build, very satisfied. And also I got my cash back $70 from Powerbuy, so my tablet only cost $230!…….very very good deal.

    • Lucky you! So Powerbuy does work? You've been approved?

  • I have got my tablet. Now can somebody advice me where it is cheaper to buy a case and screenprotection for this tablet.

    • +1

      I am currently using a wet suit material pocket for mine but I have just ordered from Lenovo the following items,

      Qty Part no. Description Price
      1 0A36370 ThinkPad Tablet Keyboard Folio Case - US $46.36
      1 0B33488 3M Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector $17.00

      you will see the prices are actually 15% off the prices on the site - try eCoupon "VIPOPT15" and if this doesn't work then use the live talk and ask "what is an eCoupon and where do I get one" like I did and with no trouble I was offered this discount by the sales person :o)

      I got the 3M shield on the basis of a LOT of googling and also after trying the stylus pen tip on a urethane (Helicopter blade protection etc) screen protector I use on my phone and getting far to much drag making the stylus a pain to use.

      See my earlier post re the KB Case and since then I have purchased one for myself! It also has a set of smart keys for useful functions - NICE

      • expired.

  • Is this deal still on? Don't see an option on EBAY!

    • +1

      The deal is over. However, the seller looks to have re-listed on eBay. The item # is 230853312138.

  • Thank you Ozem61.I tried chatting with lenova, they said no discount on keyboard folio case and they do not have stock of screen protector. Will try again.

  • Powerbuy approved the memo.. :))
    Waiting for cashback

  • Just got the confirmation that my cash back is approved as well:)

    anyone rooted the device yet? I tried everything on the forum no luck yet:(

    • +1

      Don't try this. If you root, you cannot update the system. the only alternative CM10 is not stable at the moment. It is really difficult and complicated to root this one. I gave up, though I hope to redefine the physical buttons, particular power button that is very weak.

  • Got my device delievered today and have uploaded my Invoice for 70AUD …Cashback…Hopefully i will get the cashback…

    Need info like are there any good deals for
    1)Anti glare Screen protector
    2)dock
    3)Keyboard folio case…

    high appreciate the pointers on this …

    • +1

      Congratulations Ramsiit. Just look in the posts above for your answer. Dansor and Ozem have it all there for you.

  • got my cash pack paid, great! 230 for a branded 10.1 3g tablet, very satisfied!

  • Got the cash back too…..

  • Mine is Android 4.01 when first start up.

    Just wonder whether it is an old tablet because my last one was Android 3.0 when it arrives and I have to update it by myself.

    Can anyone advice: has yours been updated to Android 4.01 in the factory?

    Cheers!

    • Mine was 4.01 when I received it from this particular offer
