I do not use it every day but when I do it performs really well.
Android apps are plentiful. Great for keeping in touch with latest scores, especially golf.

I bought this item as a christmas present for my daughter and it worked for about two hours and then shut down. It would not recharge or work again. Can you imagine how disappointed my daughter is at having to wait while we send back this item, wait for the refund and then look for another tablet. Not impressed at all !!!!

I had mine from Amazon warehouse deals for £78. The new price was £120-£150 so a very good discount for me. Upon opening, it appeared as good as a new one!

I prefer 7" as it is easy to hold, less weight less pain on my wrists, easy to carry in a bag and good enough for browsing, ebook reading etc. My primary requirement is mobility.

Pros:
this is the lowest price branded tablet I could find having GPS.
solid build quality, nice looking.
screen resolution much better than similar sized nonbranded tablets.
good connectivity-wifi, bluetooth etc.
2GB(for apps) plus 14GB internal memory. Another 32GB SD card can be used if I want more memory.
easy to use, quick and bright enough.
Battey is ok. holds about 7 hours for continuous browsing with few youtube videos, wifi and gps on.

Cons:
operating system is not the latest. However I found it enough for all my day to day use.
screen freezes and shaky for a few seconds during rotation, portrait to landscape.
graphics including youtube videos quality is not that great but watchable with out any strain.
audio quality is not excellent, bit disappointed considering this is a branded item. however, even netbooks such as acer ferrari one have the same issue.

GPS took a few hours to lock during the first use. subsequent uses it was less than 2min and I live in london.

Overall I am very happy with the tablet and for the discounted price I paid it should be 5stars. I gave 4stars with the price for newone in mind and the old operating system.

Update: 27th Sep 2012
I have updated the OS to 4.0.4 ICS now from Lenovo Community forum and it works great.
Screen is fine now. No more freezing during rotation. I have uninstalled Youtube updates and using the pre-installed version.
Audio quality is very good except for a noise noticeable with headphones at very low volume.
GPS is working well.

Revised to 5stars now.

I bought this on the New Years lightening deals offer for £150.

It's quite a nice looking tablet, perfect size for what i wanted which was mainly the odd bit of browsing at home and watching videos on the bus.

I'd seen a couple of reviews that mentioned screen problems so was a bit wary but when it arrived it seemed fine, although not nearly as responsive as most touchscreen phones, but for the price, what else do you expect. The viewing angles were pretty bad too but again, for the price...

I've had it nearly six months and just recently noticed the screen was less responsive and it would freeze up for a while. When i pressed the home button, the app shortcut i had in the middle of the screen (not in the bottom row near the soft key) would activate, or i'd press on one app and the one across the screen would activate instead.

I tried a touchscreen calibration and the problem still occurred.

I have contacted Amazon to request a refund which they have accepted. I suspect there have been other people with problems with thier tablet as there are currently quite a few for sale through Amazon Warehouse.

It's not all bad, it was OK other than the screen glitches and some people seen to have no problem at all, i'd just say to be a little wary.

The tablet looks good, locks onto wifi quickly, is responsive to touch, shows youtube videos and BBC i-player very well and is handy for quick email checks. The screen is glossy and, in bright light, needs to be angled carefully to avoid reflections. The Android keyboard is usable for short messages.

I was happy with mine until it failed after a week. Then the replacement failed after six weeks and Amazon readily refunded. I'm considering ordering another tablet but, in the light of this experience, it won't be a Lenovo.
