The new slate corrects, at least on paper, most of the shortcomings we complained about before: the display panel now uses IPS technology with a higher resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, and performance should be up as well thanks to the new quad-core CPU. Last year we took a look at the then-current 7-inch IdeaTab A1000 and came away unimpressed, since the list of compromises Lenovo made to keep the price down was just a little too long for our liking. Our review tablet is the Wifi-only version the 3G model is - at least at the time of writing - not available for purchase. The 3G model comes with stereo speakers instead of a single speaker and adds proximity and light sensors. Interestingly enough, the spec sheet on Lenovo's site lists both a Wifi as well as a 3G version of the A8. Our review tablet is the 8-inch model which retails for a reasonable $179. The series is comprised of three different models: the 7-inch Tab A7, designed primarily for browsing and reading, the 8-inch A8, intended as a entertainment tablet, and the 10-inch A10, which meets both entertainment and productivity needs with the optional Bluetooth keyboard. The new slates are differentiated mainly by their screen size, as each features the same entry-level Mediatek 1.3 GHz quad-core SoC, 1 GB of RAM, as well as 16 GB of flash storage.

In April of 2014, Lenovo announced a refresh of their inexpensive A-series tablets.
