It was already a pretty good deal when it was on special for $199; now it's insanely good on clearance for $149 (it's not being advertised, mind you). If you got it for $199 — I did — it may be worth return repoing it — I did (or hand over your OzBargain card at the reception please). Only other better strategy is dumpster diving their bins for it (in a couple of weeks?).

Edit: For comparison, on Amazon, the 2nd Gen 2+32GB is $229, the 2nd Gen 4+64GB is $297, and 3rd Gen Plus 4+128GB is $327. Somehow they don't sell the non-Plus 3rd Gen at the Aussie store; I could only find it in the UK one 4+64GB, for $335.

    Silly question but what is "return repoing"?

    • hongerwonger on 02/03/2023 - 17:11

      return it at $199, then re-purchase it at $149

      • GOMOOTYPRO on 02/03/2023 - 17:12

        Ahhh yep makes sense.

        I did this somewhere else once, spent half an hour arguing that I am entitled to return an unopened resalable item, and as soon as I got the refund I repurchased the same one for a 200 dollar discount, the guy said "you could of just told us you were doing that".

      At a guess, I assume they mean buying the one at $149 and not opening it, then returning it with the $199 receipt.

      • wisdomtooth on 03/03/2023 - 05:44

        The trouble with that is you end up with the wrong receipt for warranty (notice the numbering under warranty). But, maybe no one will notice?

    A bit laggy, but fine for light web browsing I guess. Perhaps reading?

    A 2-3 year old used iPad would perform much better than a brand new Android tab (including most of the high-specced ones).

    • PlaunsJanus on 02/03/2023 - 21:58

      Hate the cost of iPhones for what you get, and lots of Apple products…
      I have an iPad 6th generation I bought new on an Optus deal years ago (2019?) and it still works awesome. Battery life, etc fantastic just stuck at 4g and old wifi, slow lightning cable vs usb c….

      I’m shocked I haven’t needed to upgrade it or replace any parts.

      But they are selling for like $300 used or refurbished after a quick search.
      Do you rekon this Lenovo would be an upgrade, including the display ( Color & resolution etc?)

        I would personally stay away from any cheap Android devices which definitely would start lagging terribly anytime after 6-12 months of usage. If you personally would want to appreciate how good Apple and iOS is, I’d suggest you to give Android a try 😁

        • Griffindinho on 03/03/2023 - 16:17

          Depends. Bare minimum would be the Lenovo M10 Plus 3rd gen for web browsing and watching videos, reading emails.

          You are right mate, all of my android devices have gone to shit and I’ve sold them so they are someone else’s problem.

        That's the frustrating part with Apple products: the hardware outlasts the software. We have an iPad Air 2 from some 10 years ago, that the kiddo has subjected to all sorts of abuse, inside a bumper case of course. The hardware has indeed held up fantastically, but Apple won't let me update the iOS (now stuck in 12), and many apps games refuse to install into anything lesser than iOS 14.

    • wisdomtooth on 02/03/2023 - 21:43
      +2

      Don't think so. You need one with a good stylus and a pressure sensitive screen. I hear Wacom, Xencelabs, Huion, XP Pen and, of course, Apple and Microsoft make the best ones. For an Android one, Samsung S8 Ultra is not a bad choice.

      • wisdomtooth on 03/03/2023 - 04:30
        +1

        Having said that…

        If you're looking for the best budget drawing Android tablet in 2023, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a great option.01 It is almost half the price of the Samsung Tab s6 but still has almost every feature that you need for writing and drawing.1 Alternatively, if you're on a tighter budget, you can also get cheaper options such as Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite or Simbans PicassoTab 10 which both offer great pen-to-screen experiences and perform well with drawing software such as AutoDesk Sketchbook and Mediabang Paint.0 (Brave Summarizer)

    • kururii on 03/03/2023 - 09:00

      Won't be much different to doing art on your phone except a larger screen. No pen pressure for the most part except maybe if you buy specialised stylus and have an app that supports it.

      Wisdomtooth mentioned Wacom, Xencelabs, Huion, Xp-pen which are very good, but are mostly Pen Displays that need to be plugged into a computer + power source

      Wacom One is a pen display that can be plugged into some android devices/chrome books, but limited devices and apps compatibility - this might be able to run off power with just USB-C data+power cable, but brightness is limited https://www.wacom.com/en-au/comp

      Apple iPad + pencil is nice, but only the new iPad Pro supports a hover cursor.

      I don't have experience with Android tablets that come with a pen pressure style (Samsung Tab + S-pen), iirc they do have hover cusor?

    Once I removed all the extra bloatware and updated it. This thing is very usable. I was sceptical after reading all the comments on slowness. I loaded titan quest and getting 60 fps on medium settings. Very playable. L1 HD Netflix, no lag or stuttering. Using it to stream Xbox sx using Bluetooth controller. Very happy with it.

    • wisdomtooth on 03/03/2023 - 10:03

      In a box under the counter at the cashier. I've just done it again in Nambour — the repo return — and that's where it was too. This time I first purchased a new one for $149, then returned the one I had bought for $199 with its receipt (I had bought two, one for me, one for mom); I thought this way it was less likely to create dramas. Indeed it didn't. The cashier was nicer and friendlier too. Even told me to take a picture of the receipt with the phone for warranty, in case I lose it.

    Can confirm its discounted from top, should be red ticket, hence price should be nationwide I assume (aka its not discounted by individual stores).

    • wisdomtooth on 05/03/2023 - 22:24

      What happened? It flopped? What happens with the leftover inventory? Further discounts? Employee prize? Donation? To the bins?

      • EmployeeUSER DC @ ALDI on 06/03/2023 - 00:29
        +5

        So every Tuesday and Friday stores need to put out newer special out, If they don't have enough space on floor, they reduce items to make space. (reduced items go on a special clearance table- Clearance ≠ reduce always, being on clearance table means item is put there to be cleared, (not necessarily reduced, although most probably it is). General rule is max 4 items per table, any more can be troublesome for store. So that's main reason why items are moved to clearance section (which don't have such requirement).

        Red ticket label on the shelf label means item has been reduced already from the top, and Stores are technically not allowed to reduce that item further. (how they discount is IDK, but one factor is time since advertised date)

        Stores are also only meant to discount items after at least 1 month of the item being advertised on floor.

        With special buys store are generally flexible to choose where they put the special items, so some stores may have these tablet at checkouts, some may have it on clearance section, some may have somewhere else.

        If special items really aren't selling for a long long time, some stores may either reduce that item further upto 45% max usually (lesser on high value items), otherwise it goes to bin.

        Employee price- In one's dream I think.
        Donation- if item is food, sure can be put on charity collection. Otherwise not really.

    I just picked one up at my local store, Westleigh NSW.

    Was further reduced down to $139.

    Seems like there may still be a few around as it wasn't on the shelves but under the cashiers desk #1.

    • wisdomtooth on 30/03/2023 - 14:09

      Kawana still has some under the cashiers desk too (I saw at least 3). They were never on the shelves there; they were always under the counter (which perhaps partly explains why they failed to move the inventory).

      Was further reduced down to $139.

      I'll update the post. Might do another repo-return to get the difference back again.
