Now the question is, which one to buy? With the market flooding in with all kinds of tablets, starting from INR 5000 to 50,000; should you be buying a tablet that just solves the purpose or a powerhouse that makes you forget your laptop. Well the use is subjective to each person’s need but if you are looking for a tablet that is under INR 10K then we have found the perfect tablet for you. The tablet we have settled for after strenuous testing, benchmarking and lucid tests is Lenovo A1000.
And we are not just saying just for the sake of it. We compared it with the competition and convinced a bunch of readers to buy it instead of Micromax Funbook and Samsung Tab3 they were putting their money into. It would be wrong to state that they were convinced easily to pick up the lenovo A1000 instead of what they had in mind. But we did it, here’s how:
The first person who bought the Lenovo A1000 on our recommendation was not willing to spend more than Rs. 6500 on a tablet. And also he wanted one that he could make calls with. He wanted to use only one device for both calling and media consumption. He had zeroed down on Micromax Funbook Talk for obvious reasons:
- Lack of knowledge
- Suitable for his budget
- Guerilla Marketing by Micromax
- Robust build
- Rollcage design
- Less than an inch thin
- 7″HD Display
- Dolby Digital Plus
- The 72 percent color gamut screen delivered vivid video and pictures both indoors and outdoors
- It was up for 8 hours with WiFi browsing on a single battery charge
- Played his music collection stored on his USB stick using USB OTG (On The Go)
- Dolby® audio enhancement was louder, more natural, distortion-free sound both through headphones or the integrated speakers
- All this at an unbelievable price of Rs. 9499/-
The price may seem perfect to us and people who know its worth but an average consumer needs a justification on why he should spend Rs. 3000 more?
