Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Features,Review,Price and Specs

Lenovo IdeaPad K1

Lenovo could not meet its promises on the site, but at least we have some of them in tablet form IdeaPad K1. If you look at the pictures carefully, you will notice that K1 and part of the Tablet Pad is almost identical. The company announced that with the other two pills a few weeks ago, the program is large enough. This is the first step of Lenovo Android tablet in the world and faces stiff competition from iPad 2, Motorola Xoom and Galaxy Tab 750. K1 is the rock on paper, but what do you really like in the real world, that's what we know and K1 BuildThe today.Design tablet is designed for the end, what we expect from Lenovo. Fit and finish of the aluminum body very well, and brown leather gives a feeling of high quality, helping to capture. The rounded edges and the frame range allows you to hold firmly, without interfering with your fingers on the touch screen. This is not what you call a light 750 grams, and after a short period of time, you feel tired in the wrist. There is a small "Home" button on the front panel, which also serves as an optical trackpad to move back and forth through Web pages and applications. 10.1-inch touchscreen rich and bright, but a little thought at a time.

Design and construction

K1 tablets built at the end, what we have come to expect from Lenovo. Fit and finish of the aluminum body very well, and brown leather gives a feeling of high quality, helping to capture. The rounded edges and the frame range allows you to hold firmly, without interfering with your fingers on the touch screen. This is not what you call a light 750 grams, and after a short period of time, you feel tired in the wrist. There is a small "Home" button on the front panel, which also serves as an optical trackpad to move back and forth through Web pages and applications. 10.1-inch touchscreen rich and bright, but a little thought at a time.

The microphone, power button, volume control, steering lock and MicroSD card slot on the left, and the tray is on the right SIM for 3G-model. In principle, we took a mini-HDMI, 3.5 mm headphone jack and port / charging port. Lenovo uses a proprietary connector for data transfer, and MicroUSB. We would also like to see a set of modular data / power cable, rather than have two separate cables.

It would be nice if we could download and connect the tablet to the computer at the same time, but can not. We would also like the buttons are a bit more, making them easier to use. Perhaps the design choices of the most annoying is the shade of the card and the SIM card slot, which require the use of a contact to open the iPhone 4. It's just an unnecessary complication.

In general, Lenovo has done a wonderful job with the appearance of the tablet. Screen resolution of 1280x800 new decent viewing angles and there are plenty of connectivity options to keep all fans happy. However, we would like Lenovo has added support for the USB standard, if not, at least initially with an adapter, as Samsung did with the tab 750.

Lenovo Launches K1 Android 3.1 to your cell, you automatically get a few logins with GTalk, a shortcut to open more applications before, and overall performance is free. Instead of cell values, Lenovo highly personalized interface with many useful applications and widgets available without sacrificing performance tablet, very well.

The label widget allows you to go to the gallery, music, email, read e-books or the Internet. Lenovo has added a lot of alternatives for action, as the application mSpot music, video player and custom galleries. The label on the bottom shows the carousel right to frequently used applications, which can be chosen by you.

Even added his own shop called Lenovo store. Other settings changes to the setup menu, the ability to close the recently opened applications to the list on the right, I found a brilliant idea and a redesigned menu icons. This is a commendable effort by Lenovo, and while not as elegant as the meaning, or as colorful as functional TouchWiz, and this is important.

Dual-core 1 GHz Tegra T20 ensures that all goes well, and 1 GB of RAM is very good. You also get 32 ​​GB of internal memory, plus it can be expanded further with MicroSD cards. A small button we mentioned earlier as an optical trackpad. Go ahead and slide down to take another step back. All that is useful when viewing a Web page is really annoying when you watch the video. You can not take the pill, near the bottom so it's useful when you hold your thumb in the center of the trackpad inevitably strikes and you're back on the main screen. We wish there was a way to disable it. Lenovo is not necessary to add in the first place, from the bottom of the menu is always visible, regardless of the application that is in it is always the way to the home screen, if necessary.

If you buy this pill for the consumption of media, then they are welcome. In addition to music player and video file (which is really bad), it is music that allows you to store your music mSpot cloud (which must have an account for this) or simply play music stored on a local level. It also has EQ settings for audio quality is very good phone decent ear. All standard audio files: MP3, WAV, AAC, etc. Lenovo tied with ArcSoft to provide ArcSync Media Suite, which includes a gallery of readers, books, video and audio readable. After ArcSync set up an account, then it is possible to synchronize media files and documents in the cloud or a remote PC.

Also very powerful dynamic. Placed in the back, below, which are strong enough to listen to music or movies. We liked the location of the headphone jack, located on the base. It would be better if the sides. Compatible with the default format, but the video is a video player ArcSoft MP4 and AVI. To actually see that K1 is able to do, we have installed and loaded MoboPlayer our test files. Surprisingly, the test files struggled to play 1080p smoothly.

T-Mobile Springboard Features,Price,Specification

T-Mobile Springboard 

Some experts say that Android tablets should be considerably cheaper than the iPad 2, to succeed. In this case, Trampoline T-Mobile Huawei company, is expected to be a success. Of course, this is not a formula price, or a small army of serious budget unnamed touchscreen Android tablet resistive grain and outdated versions of Android could take the world by storm. Even T-Mobile in the second 7 "Android Tablet, Dell Streak 7, was designed for budget-conscious consumers, which is a polite way of saying it is low. Dell is a registered level 1, but 7 does not run is convincing due to its low screen resolution and low and bulky plastic body. However, it seems a good springboard, Neiman Marcus in a row of seven K-Mart environment.

Springboard 7 "Android 3.2 cell plate, the print quality specifications to meet She has a very high resolution seven." Tablets: 1280 x 800 and runs at 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor with Adreno 220 graphics. The HSPA + 4G T-Mobile, and has 16 GB of memory and MicroSD card slot. Around the front and rear camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, and have a competitive package with a friendly price (at least in the contract). Tablet EDGE/3G/4G GSM for data only, which does not support cellular calls, but you can use VoIP applications like Skype and GTalk.

Huawei, a rookie in the United States, is a springboard for T-Mobile. That provided data, memory card for service providers, and the budget of some phones. They said they want to be the next HTC and start making quality products is seriously good, in fact, in the back of Springboard uncomfortable as a 7 "tablet HTC Flyer. It has the same aluminum back with white inserts, if Huawei has at least change the form of these caps. where the similarity ends there with Springboard has metal side of the current row, while HTC is full of complex curves and texture of the surface of interest. But then, there's going to cost a brochure much more when it came out, but now reduced to $ 299 for a Wi-Fi only version and $ 299 for a version of the website of T-Mobile HTC.

T-Mobile has gone Home Shopping Network with us on prices. You have to pay $ 229 at the door, and then wait for the discount of $ 50, which leads to $ 179. This is a fairly common mechanism for the U.S. carrier T-Mobile and others who use the discount. But it is very interesting because T-Mobile refers to $ 179 (after rebate) as payment. You'll pay $ 10 a month for 20 months in your account (with credit approval and 2 year contract). This is your "interest free" monthly payments on a shelf. These plans start at $ 30 a month, but you get a discount of $ 10 per month if you have another line with T-Mobile. Got it? Therefore, the total cost of the tablet is $ 379. If you terminate your contract before paying any balance of payments left of $ 10 per month, but T-Mobile announced that there will be no ETF. Honestly, I never needed a full paragraph to specify only the price of the phone or a tablet!

Quality construction and design elements are very good, but Huawei and not deviate from a rectangular plate that represents the majority of the tablets. Side and rear (with the exception of the plastic covers) and the pill is actually relatively thin metal to 0.41 inch light 13 ounces. Like HTC, Springboard has a solid design and easy to return literally flows to the sides. This means that the battery is not removable, but the SIM card slot and MicroSD card slot is available, as soon as you remove the white cap / panel. The tablet looks, feels and does very well.

The top edge houses volume control and the power button and a small fire stereo anemic network on the left side. 3.5 mm headphone jack on the left side and HDMI Micro, Micro USB and power connector are on the right side. 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus on the center top (when held vertically), and a 1.3 megapixel front video camera chat inexplicably located in the upper left corner when held in landscape mode. The left ear is shown in the video chat rooms. Or sit on the side when you are talking about. Oh. The platform not only to sign with the awkward placement of the talk of the camera, but that does not mean they will not complain.

This first 7 ", 1280 x 800 pixels Android tablet coming to market, and it is good to have a high quality display at this price. Resolution says, does not mean you're going to see much more on the screen when browsing web pages of x 1024 600 HTC Flyer too. The place next to each other and charge the same page for comparison, and saw the same point of view of both. This means that the operating system is reduced to a few things to keep separately and is not bad. Few of us have eyes to read the sources, microphone and competing operating systems such as IOS are resizing to keep things to read. You get the light sources in applications such as Kindle and the corner of the books and videos and crisp photos.

The viewing angles are pretty good. You can take a pill on the table is tilted to one side and we can see clearly, without much color change, in contrast to the Acer Iconia A100 7 "Tablet PC. We had no problems with the horizontal and vertical angles of vision up to 130 degrees. Two people can watch a video without losing a lot of black or contrast. Well done. brightness is sufficient for protection from view Google Maps, albeit with some loss of sharpness and contrast. Huawei colors look natural, and has a color enhancement feature is enabled by default and if we do not 'see much difference on or off.

Tablets and video as well, and he was able to reproduce high-profile MPEG4 1080p without problems, we can not say that all Android tablets. No need to play videos that are of higher resolution than the screen, of course, if you do not use micro-HDMI output port for video playback on a monitor or HDTV. Like most devices, Android, which operates in the mirror when the display is connected and has worked well in our tests.

Playing music comes courtesy of a standard application for Android music when you load a third player or streaming music service like Pandora or Slacker. Although the speakers are weak in this small tablet, headphones and audio output for HDMI is good.
