At $199 it was a bargain.
At $149 it was a steal.
Now, at $100 it's just desperate!
(Remember to let staff know these are stashed away under the cashiers' counters, when asking at the store.)

I don't think anyone thinks it is.
@Clear: Well this whole post has got me on a whole Google fest on how to add a carppay tablet to the car and have it still look nice, charge the phone and the tablet, that kinda thing.
Looks like it's possible to do it kinda ok if you find the right parts and tie down cables
But it is in stock.
Can't see any stock of Lenovo tab on Aldi's stock check webpage
That device sounds all round superior to be honest
If this is the same as the second gen then it'll be just as slow… IF
yeah its not quick but sound is good and screen is ok cant complain for $100
Only got mine free due to the Lenovo stuff up last year
At a certain point low speed machines are just buying ewaste.
Like atom processor laptops, they become quickly unusable and frustrating
Depends what you use it for.
Any link to the M10 3rd gen as I can only find the M10 Plus Gen 3
Non-plus probably have lower display resolution.
Thanks op. Picked up 2 from Scoresby store. They apparently had a lot under the counter. Comes with case too.
How is the speed when using something like youtube?
Yeah 4GB RAM in a new device is pretty concerning… I doubt it would be able to keep 2 apps running at once
for the purposes of this $100 or $99 piece of old tech, 2 gigs ram is more than adequate
@paloverde88: The minimum system requirements for Android 12 are 6GB of RAM. Also just because it was released in 2021 doesn't mean that software performance will magically scale backwards to meet this under performing device. That's not at all how any of this works.
@Ezekiel2320: They didn't say that it will be performant. They just said "4GB is fine for a $99 device", or "$99 is fair price for a 4GB device" which I agree.
@bio: in America, 4 gigs items are stacked together with lettuce tomatoes and radish section. You cannot be serious in 2023 still churning vegetables like this. What an insult to charge $100 for a vegetable or a vegetable that's becoming one. Surely the Germans do not pay 99 euros for this piece of plastic and glass
@GrueHunter: Just because KFC wings are $6 for 4 here does not mean it is 2 euros in Germany, indeed it is 6 euros in Germany they don't reduce to match the Australia equivalent so 99 euros is bargain basement in Germany 49 euros is toilet paper
@Ezekiel2320: I have one of these and I used the Lenovo rescue procedure to image it to Android 12. Working fine with the 4GB including simple games.
https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-a…@mybrains: Do you mean you have this exact model or a different one, cos it doesn't look like the A12 update is out yet. In which case which firmware/rom did you use or does the rescue software have a list of choices?
@vawiyoci: exactly same one. TB328FU
note rescue sw asks your serial number and picks firmware for you. No choice. Got A12Firmware TB328FU_S200135_230329_ROW
If anybody wants screenshots of the tablet running A12, message me and I'll email you

The minimum system requirements for Android 12 are 6GB of RAM
That's strange - my phone has Android 12, and literally zooms along with its 4GB of RAM.
Perhaps it is not aware of its limitations.
My 5yo uses one running Kids mode, plays YouTube and Minecraft fine.
I paid $200 and still think it was pretty good value..
Same, my kids use one bought for $200, seems robust/quick/nice enough for their use. Will try to source another.
I just picked up on my way to work so still in the box.
The manager was so nice at the store. He saw I had 2 at the checkout and asked whether I’d like any more as they were a good price. I told him they’re advertised on the internet and you’ll have plenty of people coming to look for them.
Was there any left? im going that way today
No idea. I've asked one of the salesmen yesterday, he walked and gave me under the counter and I couldn't see how much they left.
Wish you luck.
bought this at 199 and still happy. wifey using this rather than phone every night, phone battery lasting 2 days now, happy wife, happy life!
Is it decent when using music or youtube apps?
Magic Mike
Magic Mike XXL
Magic Mike's Last Dance…And tinder
I use mine for work. Videos and browser all works well. It had recent updates later than I thought it would.
Only problem I've had is the SD card won't read seems to be common. Have been meaning to return it.Could it do a teams video chat?
To be honest I haven't tried. Can't imagine the camera is any good. I also forgot to mention the battery life is not the best.
None at Clovelly Park
Saved me a drive, thanks Neighbour
Did u try at any other stores?
How would this be as a dedicated ebook reader?
The battery life will be worse than a Kindle. The screen is a subjective matter (I find e-ink displays much superior for reading).
I winder id this is any better at being used as a 2nd display on my Macbook.I tried a few budget android apps on my 6 year old 8in galaxy tablet, but no luck so I obtained a refund.
I want to have it above my synth so I can see/control all the volume levels on my music.
If you're using a monitor with Mac it's often a good idea to use this app if the scaling or quality is off. I'm not sure if it'll detect an Android tab being used as a display though.
Great price. I use it in the car as an Android head unit. Also use it for streaming PC and Xbox games with a controller. Great buy at this price!
How do you get that working?
That's cool. But, sorry, I meant to say the Android head unit in the car. I have an old tablet I've been thinking about using for that.
@fozzie: Thanks @fozzie. It's been on my to do list for ages, I thought I needed an app or something.
@fozzie: Yeah. $5 tablet gooseneck from Kmart and car Bluetooth adaptor

@EpicSpaceLord: Have you managed to get this working wirelessly? I have issues getting HUR to work. Can you PM me? Id like to have a chat about it :)
@EpicSpaceLord: does that mean you still connect your phone to this tablet? and treat the tablet more like monitor? or the tablet come with the GPS? thanks!
Streaming games from pc to tablet? What sorcery is this?
Its witchcraft i tell you.
According to my googling, it's possible to do this with full carplay support.
A second hand ipad is better than this junk. Own one.
What secondhand iPad is $100 and better than this?
Nah, iOS.
This is what I was wondering.
iPad 6th gen or this… Looks like I have my answer
Excellent for this price.
Any in Adelaide guys

2. guys ,Informal. people, regardless of their sex:
Could one of you guys help me with this?
2nd that. Anyone?
Alot of stores to check lol
I heard this is cheaper than a door stop.
Any stores has this in Brisbane?
OP is at Sunshine Coast.
I use cheap tablets as accurate clocks…
This or TAB A8 from optus deal. Considering getting this and selling the TAB A8. The blue tinge on the A8 is annoying
Would also like to know this. I bought A8 with the floptus deal but don't like the screen colour so just keep using my phone. Plan to get A8 unlocked and sell it.
Even if it ran slower I'd probably switch. Blue tinge is disgusting…
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12162&idPhone…
As this is the regular M10 it's about on par with that Tab A8. Won't bother then… different story if it was then M10 +
Yea I agree with screen but specs wise A8 comes out on top. If i didnt already have the A8 I'd get this
is it m10 plus 3rd gen ??? asking for a friend
Not plus.
im surprised if you can find this in any aldi anymore
I did.
location?
Me too! 2 units in fact!
wow ok where is this store? lol
@mrbargainhunter: oh whoops haha its all good.
I live at liverpool, NSW so yeah i would be surprised if any of my local aldi had some in stock so yeah thus curious which store you found that had stock hehe
I really don't need this, so can't figure out why I want this.
More like if you can even find stock of it nearby.
That bargain deal steal hey
…. Same tho FML I shouldn't be on this site
On Lenovo's website apparently the Android 12 update for this model was supposed to be released last quarter 2022 but it still isn't out yet …
Sounds like most Android devices.
see my comment above. use Lenovo rescue to put A12 on it
Looking for something just to play kids music in the car/pram without having to use my phone. Been using an old Nexus 6P but it's on its last legs, do you think this would be any good for this purpose? Basically I just want to play Youtube Music through it.
But also isn't 99 dollars
