Only 4GB of ram, so probably only suitable for light use, targeted at students or similar. Otherwise looks like decent value/specs. Unfortunately the 256GB/8GB variant is almost double the price ($274).

Cheapest yet on Camels by some margin. Price matching TGG. Previous cheapest $229ish.

Model ZAFR0827AU.

  • Great unit. Kinda crap tho. Purchased during black friday deals now its dropped $70

    • "Great unit. Kinda crap tho"

      Pick a lane mate

      • I think the 'kinda crap tho' was in regards to the fact he/she bought the Tablet during Black Friday and it has now fallen in price again.

        • Could be they?

          • @Labubu: Was indeed annoyed the price dropped. Super happy with the tablet. Had a whine to amazon suppourt got a credit for the difference. Defs not a they although am special and cannae use punctuation

        • regard

      • he chose to drive on the white marked lines, centered his vehicle bullseye

        • Not enough RAM to stay in a lane.

      • Pick a lane

        No need! Just filter through.

      • great unit if you can get it for this price is what i read it as

  • Seems like a good option for a family calendar / smart home unit ?

    • I would like some feedback on this also!

    • A bit small

      • Perhaps I guess. But finding a 15” touchscreen and adding a. Android phone or a small pc will run twice the price - and not be portable ?

    • I wanted another Google nest display but it looks like Google have quietly dropped the line… kind of tempted to get one to try. Literally just using it as a media display / music player /photo display for kitchen.

      • As someone who has a shit ton of google gear, (profanity) em their whole ecosystem is very much under enshittification

        • i totally agree - what do you recommend in lieu?

          I know i can prob just get an android tablet, enable it to hear out for 'hey google' and it should be able to just still control all my lights/ run timers / let me know weather summary etc but i kind of feel the experience would be a bit janky (not that the current state of google home devices is not already janky).

          • @Jimothy Wongingtons: I dont recommend anything, moving house soon im going to start all over with Home Assistant and some local llm stuff. Sick of the unreliablity and confusing and stupid menus.

            Ill probably keep a few of the screens etc for youtube etc (find phone is useful when it ecides to recognise my voice), and the chromecasts/tvs but most everything else - doorbells, cameras, wifi setup etc etc are going.

    • I'm using one that I bought from BF sale as my HomeAssistant Kiosk

  • It's a great tablet. I think mine is 8GB/256GB though.

    Edit, I bought the pro version.

  • 8GB/128GB version is $248 at officeworks atm - https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/lenovo-ide…

    • Oh nice, I bought this for my daughter for Christmas at this price at OW a few weeks ago. They then raised the price back up to $377, but have dropped it again. Great value.

  • any good for a home assistant dashboard?

    • That's what i'm thinking also.

    • Should be perfect - my Alldocube is going great guns on my fridge as a cheap Home Assistant hub.

      • How do you power it and manage cables if it’s on your fridge?

        • I have a smart switch (on at 20% battery, off at 80% battery) and the USB cable running from back/top of fridge to hinge side, and magnet the tablet to fridge. Not the prettiest but pretty well hidden with some margnets and photos.

        • The device has built-in charging protection. Its power will stay between 40-60% even when the cable is plugged in constantly.

  • Decent for ebooks and PDF reading?

    • Pretty sure this model has the matt, paper-like screen type which is great for ebooks/pdf/comics etc.

    • The matte screen is nice, and the reading mode changes the screen colours. It may be uncomfrotable to hold though since its a bigger tablet.

      • Is this one matte? I thought only the Pro.

        • I have the 8GB version of this (not pro) and its matte. They just don't advertise it well.

          • @Gehirn: They never really do. I've tried the Matte and Standard in the Pro and I just can't like the matte. Really doesn't seem vibrant enough.

  • $129 Amazon business, Just bought cheers.

    • Strangely $144 on my Amazon Business ($1.01 more).

      • Just had a 15off promo above the $10 off next promo, don't know why.

        • Ah, nice.

          • @hamza23: Also on the non business account it said cheaper on business,, First purchase on business so maybe the reason.

      • There's a $15 promo (for me anyway) when I hopped on and had a look, bringing it down to $129.

  • OP, do you have link to 256GB/8GB $274?

    • Sure, TGG link, click price check button to bring it down to $274. I'll link it in OP too.

  • I have a Wiim Pro setup with my speakers in the living room - Would there be any way to utilise this as like a…..media hub screen or something for the Wiim?

    For example the tablet sits there on a stand or something and you go over the to the tablet - open your media app of choice and connect it to the wiim

    I guess just use a phone….I think I answered my own question. I just want things to look cool :(

    • I use an old iPad for this as a sort of jukebox style front end so that multiple people can add music at parties etc.

  • Just buy a touchscreen portable monitor and a s2x series phone.
    I bought a 16" touch (free on ali with coins and credit) and note 20 (512gb/5G variant $80 on marketplace) and honestly better than most tablets

    • Where do you ever see free stuff with coins? I have so many coins and the best I get is cents off

      • Always have items at 85% to 95% off with coins. Even a touchscreen monitor at 51% off and monitor light bars at 95% off.

        Dont ask me how

    • Regret buying a cheap touchscreen portable monitor on AliExpress. The LCD screen quality is really bad, red looks like dark orange.

      • The one i bought is priced at $135. Has over 2000 good reviews

        • Do you have the link to that one?

  • Cheap enough as a dedicated toilet tv

    • love it

  • Thanks OP, got one as a Xmas gift :) Will be perfect for netflix and Crunchyroll

  • Would this do the job for a kids tablet (Streaming / Maybe some games?)

    • 8GB ram version for games imo.

  • This tablet has the same CPU that my phone has the TCL 50 Pro 5G NXTPAPER. It's not the fastest processor in the world and it struggles a bit in some CPU demanding apps. It struggles like crazy in the BOM app especially when i tap on the weather map. It's got a bit of a weak processor but i've seen a lot worse.

    • That $96m BOM upgrade showing it's power

      • 95 million was for catered meetings.

    • This model was only released in October 2025 so it should be reasonably well equipped to run Android 15. https://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_idea_tab_5g-14215.php

      • The tablet model may have been released then but the CPU which comes in it was released on April 2024 and even then it was a lower end CPU. It's a weak CPU. So it's a slower tablet computer even but it's running Android 15. My smartphone has this same CPU and although it was upgraded to Android 15 it seems a bit laggy at times in CPU demanding apps and even the Android interface some times.

        So this tablet is only suited for lighter use.

  • Anyone have a good wall mount?

    • You can purchase any M11 case (a Soft/rubber one would be easier), screw it on the wall.

      • Looking for a keyboard case for this. Is it the same size as M11?

  • Is this good for note taking? Has anyone tried to use it that way?

    Any guidance would be appreciated!

    Cheers.

    • i really tried to transition to tablet based note taking exclusively for 2025 but in the end i just couldnt break free of pen + paper, the og goat. You could spend a bomb on latest ipad pro and pencil but if you cant change work flow, it probably is not going to work out.

      • Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

        I'll look into Remarkable 2 perhaps.

    • This sounds way too slow to be good for hand writing.

  • Would a Home Assistant dashboard running Fully Kiosk need more than 4 GB of RAM?

  • "only suitable for light use, targeted at students or similar."

    Won't students need to take notes and possibly hands-on, depending on the type of your University degree? I mean if its just for PowerPoint slides to study it may be OK.

    • For students means plays YouTube and Netflix in marketing speak.

  • just in time to keep the kid entertained on a 3h road trip. Thanks OP.

  • Would this be good enough as a WhatsApp device for the kids to call their grandparents?

    • This would serve the purpose fine

    • Yeah for sure. You are just going to run into problems if you are trying to run multiple apps/process (eg lots of Chrome tabs), or playing more complex games.

      • Yes because of the low end slower CPU and only 4GB of RAM.

    • Cheers guys

  • Would this be an update for a Galaxy Tab A8?

    • It has a far better processor so power consumption is going to be so much better, but as others have said, RAM is going to be the limiting factor.

      I'm updating from the A8 also.

      • The CPU is low end and slow. So I'm not really sure that it's much of an upgrade. I know because i own a smartphone with the Dimensity 6300 processor but with 8GB RAM and it's no performer. Every thing you do with it shows lag.

        • TBH, the A8 is pure lag in it's finest form, definitely not Samsung's finest moment.
          This tablet is going to be a step up in one form or another

  • Sold out at Amazon

  • I got 8gb one, its decent but as soon as you play games it doesnt handle as well with some lagging and freezing compared to my s23 (same game)

    • It only has a low end processor so that's why it's not good for gaming.

  • What type of pen is this? Is it a Lenovo OSI pen?

  • I just got Officeworks to price beat the Good Guys if that helps

    • I hope that you only plan to use it for light use and not for gaming as gge CPU is weak and can't handle it very well. Heck if can even struggle done times at light use stuff.

      • Reading Eggs for the kids?

        • Yes it will be fine for that.

          Sorry for the obvious silly typos am typing on a phone. I hate smartphone keyboards.

    • What price did you get?

      • Should be $141.55 or you can just use the price beat button at Good Guys for $144

      • About $141

  • Why did they have to bring the 4GB crap here? The 6GB CN variant is only A$150 on sale Technically that's the all time low as the only difference between CN and Global is the ROM 😉

    • Pen not included and no warranty: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/938433

        • Irrelevant that it comes with no warranty and no pen/stylus?

          Seems pretty damn relevant to me.

          • @studentl0an:

            Why did they have to bring the 4GB crap here? The 6GB CN variant is only A$150 on sale Technically that's the all time low as the only difference between CN and Global is the ROM 😉

            The difference between the CN and global tablet is the ROM. The hardware is the same. Stop changing the subject of the original comment.

            Yes, the version here has the pen bundled which is awesome, but that doesn't change the hardware of the physical tablet. Lenovo AU sucks for bringing the 4GB RAM variant here when 6GB really should be the minimum for Android to run smoothly.

            • @Clear: You're the one who brought up the comparison!

              • @studentl0an: Nice edit there. Lenovo should do better on the hardware since the 6GB already exists and the manufacturing cost is only a couple of dollars difference. Bundle that version with the pen and that'll be the best value budget tab anywhere. I about even AliExpress could compete with that since sellers don't bundle the accessories.
