BEST BUY !
Date:April 22, 2013
Pros: Battery, Processor, Memory, Screen size, Build Quality, Storage, good gps, good wifi performance, price !, perfect screen size: 9"
Cons: rear camera, no ips screen
"I am glad I decided to ignore all those negative video reviews out there.
Here in Holland there is no better Tablet on this price range (199 euros) !
For the price, it over exceeded my expectations.
It's not only that it got a GPS chip , but it is working great ( outdoors of course), locking reasonably fast to the satellites and stable!
Great WiFi performance unlike many other budget tablets over here.
Rear Camera performance aint good , but who needs a rear camera on a Tablet anyway. Other (even more expensive) tablets don't even have one!

Screen lacks IPS, but it's good enough..
It's snappy and got great sound, also from the stereo speakers ( with srs)
It's not the best tablet out there, but it's certainly the BEST BUY ! ( Did I mention , 199 euros?)"

Not a bad tablet
Date:April 17, 2013
Pros: Battery, Input/Output compatibility, Weight, Warranty, Processor, Security Features, Support, Included software, Memory, Bluetooth, Video card, Keyboard/peripherals, Screen size, Build Quality, Storage, Display resolution, Display performance
"I was wanting a tablet for a while now, I have been wanting to get one that was nice, newer and could handle things on the go. I didn't want one that had a huge screen like the 10.1 nor did I want one that was to small to read like the 7" tablet. But finding this one, I was relieved as I can use it on the go, its very portable and doesn't weight much either. I am very impressed with the battery life on it. I can keep it unplugged for 2-3 days and open it up and start using it. I like all the features of it, when I did get the the tablet, I had to make sure it was up to date with the latest Android OS and it wasn't but one touch later and it was! Way to easy!
Pros: Everything
Cons: NONE, Haven't found anything wrong with it yet."

Excellent Purchase
Date:March 29, 2013
Pros: Battery, Weight, Processor, Memory, Build Quality
Cons: Display resolution
"I purchased this tablet after doing considerable research. Didn't want to pay the high price of an I-Pad. I have absolutely no regrets. Tablet runs lightening fast using wifi and I have had no problems whatsoever.
I have had no problems with the battery. Lasts several days after charging for me.
The biggest problem that I had was locating a case to protect it. I found one on Amazon that fits like a glove with openings for the power button and charging cord.
This tablet was a good purchase and I have no regrets."

A2109 is a solid Tablet
Date:March 24, 2013
Pros: Processor, Memory, Wireless card, Screen size, Build Quality, Storage, Display resolution, Display performance
Cons: Bluetooth, Keyboard/peripherals, Software compatibility
"Nice screen, solid build, no flexing of case. Connected to wireless router (WHR-G54S) the first time. The SD card slot hard to get to. GPS works well. The only issue is the difficulty of pairing with a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard. At present, the Bluetooth stack is moving from Bluez (Android up to 4.0) over to Broadcom (4.1 and up). However, the software has not caught up with the hardware. Since Android is mostly supported through Google, IMHO, it is understandable that there is a gap. I am waiting on "Bluedroid", the Android Bluetooth stack, which is based on the Broadcom Bluetooth stack. FWIW- the A2109 is listed as using the Broadcom BCM4330 WiFi/Bluetooth chip...."

Awesome tablet...get one!
Date:March 2, 2013
Pros: Battery, Processor, Included software, Durability, Software compatibility, Memory, Video card, Wireless card, Screen size, Build Quality, Storage, Display resolution, Display performance
"This really is an excellent piece of kit and at the price....superb value!
Everything works as I want it to and I take it everywhere with me, the speed of the system is fantastic and for me the display is bang on for watching films etc and I'm stunned by how good some of the games look and play.
10 out of 10...I've already recommended it to two of my customers (I'm a self employed PC repair man) and they have both bought one and love them.
Another fabulous Lenovo product, keep them coming!"

Great Buy!
Date:February 26, 2013
Pros: Battery, Processor, Memory, Screen size, Storage
Cons: Display resolution, Wireless card, Display performance, no accessories (case)
"I purchased the A2109 at Best Buy for my dad for Christmas. He loved it, so, I went on-line and bought one for myself. I also love it but I've also had issues:
- wireless connectivity on both units. Sitting side-by-side one will connect and the other won't.
- the screen starts flashing. Nothing is lost, it's just annoying.
- the resolution isn't that great, especially with using it for Facebook.

- the resolution isn't that great, especially with using it for Facebook.
I am disappointed that after updating to Jelly Bean the auto-rotate option is no longer functional.
The other disappointment was that Lenovo doesn't sell a case for this tablet. After searching all of the local stores I ended up having to order the 2 cases from ebay where they came from China in 20 days.
Overall this tablet is well worth the money."

big beautiful screen but heavy
Date:February 6, 2013
Pros: Battery, Input/Output compatibility, Warranty, Processor, Included software, Software compatibility, Memory, Bluetooth, Screen size, Build Quality, Storage, Display resolution, Display performance
Cons: Weight
"My wife has the Nexus 7. i wanted a table that could take FLASH. this one comes with flash with Android 4.0 but the upgrade to 4.1 removed it. side loaded with a non google browser and it works great. the A2109 has same processor and a larger screen. really like it. it has two speakers, good stereo. great screen. i run it at 25% brightness in the house. Auto Bright bounces back and forth just like the Nexus 7. must be part of the processor. it is a bit slippery to hold, so you will need a case or the ZAGG full body shield. it is a bit heavy to hold in your hand for along period, but most tablets this size are. i love it. have made it my travel machine. leave laptop at home. info about operating system memory etc is about a laptop computer, required fields to post review."

Very Happy with this tablet
Date:February 5, 2013
Pros: Input/Output compatibility, Warranty, Processor, Security Features, Durability, Software compatibility, Memory, Bluetooth, Video card, Wireless card, Build Quality, Storage
Cons: Display resolution
"I bought this table for 229 @ Office Depot and I've been using it for only a few days. I really enjoy using it, this is my first tablet and I didn't want to get one that was too cheap or too expensive. For my uses( movies/reading) this tablet is perfect. It's fast, looks good it's responsive and not too expensive. Display could be a little sharper but again this is not a drawback especially at this price point."

Nearly Best Purchase Ever
Date:February 5, 2013
Pros: Battery, Processor, Durability, Screen size, Build Quality, Display performance
Cons: limited viewing angles
"I can say without a doubt that this thing is outstanding for the price and the size is perfect; not too big and not too small. It does everything excellently, and even more so after the Jelly Bean upgrade. The only minor flaw is the viewing angles aren't the best, but it's not an irritating issue. In my opinion, its every bit as good as my wife's iPad 2. Run out and buy one for yourself. You won't be sorry."

Great value!
Date:January 31, 2013
Pros: Processor, Memory, Build Quality
Cons: Weight, Display performance
"I got this from a sale for $199.99 (reg. $249.99). This is the best tablet for the price so far!
Everything is fast and smooth. I did not update to Jellybean because I don't want to lose Flash video in the browser - HD 1080p eg. Youtube, Vimeo is simply STUNNING! Buttery smooth, no hangs and freeze, no stutter no crashes. I 'm not a gamer so no comment, but I'm sure the Tegra 3 can handle them all. Battery life is average (8 hours wifi streaming videos).
Only two negatives - (1) tab is quite heavy to hold for a long time (2) screen quality is not as good as Samsung AMOLED (faded color, poorer viewing angle)."

Good Tablet
Date:January 26, 2013
Pros: Input/Output compatibility, Processor, Included software, Durability, Software compatibility, Memory, Bluetooth, Keyboard/peripherals, Screen size, Build Quality, Display performance
Cons: Display resolution, Weight
"The Lenovo A2109 is a good tablet in the all around spectrum, but it does lack. The display, while clear and sharp in its own right, can't compete with other, higher resolution displays on similar 9''/10'' Android tablets. It also suffers from viewing angle problems. On the other hand, the internals are very good, as are the ports (micro SD is hard to access). Besides this, the tablet is heavy and thick for its size, but I didn't have any problems with that. Also, while the tablet is an Android 4.0, it can be updated to Android 4.1."

Cons: Display resolution, Battery, Display performance
"I bought this tablet after Christmas, I wanted a Samsung tablet but they were sold out the first day because best buy had them on sale. Soo the next tablet I seen was the lenovo ideatab. On paper it seemed like an awesome tablet, so I bought it. Overall its decent and i haven't had any problems yet (crossing my fingers). My only complaint is the screen. The screen light absolutely kills the battery for some reason, it uses more power than games and apps. But you get what you pay for.."

Worst tablet ever
Date:January 14, 2013
"On paper specs look good but worst system/tablet in usage. Camera quality is below par. Front camera show blue tint and back-camera is grainy and hardly visible. The -ve is not just only the camera but overall in all the dept. it has similar rating."
