    I brought the 7" Lenovo tab 3 at OW for $78 (Think maybe West Gosford Store has a price error) to answer questions during my lecture. Seems ok, but I don't think it would run what you want. You could always buy, try, return.

    I also have an Xiaomi phone and shit they are awesome. I will only buy Redmi phones from now on.

      I got that as well. However, not happy with it. I also got Samsung galaxy tab for extra $50. Far more superior tablet. Much happier. Lenovo battery didnt even last 2days. Samsung lasts 5-6 days easy on low battery mode. Also, i found $50 was worth it.

    by "do 720p youtube" do you mean stream it and display all pixels on an equal-to-or-greater-than 720 pixel screen? If so, this Lenovo http://www3.lenovo.com/au/en/tablets/android-tablets/Lenovo-… has a 1024x600 pixel screen, so by that definition, it should not be on your shortlist.

    If you don't care for a few pixels going missing and just want to get on with enjoying the video, then yes, it can decode and play 720p video fine. Particularly with a video player of your choice (if you download Youtube videos like I do).

      Yeah i was kinda just looking at my super budget options. Not too picky as i am currently using a p7500 which can only really do 360p some 480p videos i think but not sure. Just wanted a slight step up so i can avoid potato quality and go into aok this will do quality. dont need 1080p and 4k haha lol 720p is way more than enough now for me.. Also better for me bandwidth wise
