Though haven't used any Lenovo Tablets,but I think you can use their tablets which are very good ,especially when it comes for their Yoga series.Everybody knows,about Lenovo's extraordinary and fantastic evolve on the world of Laptops/Notebooks/Hybrids.
It is a safe bet for the purchase.

By the by,are you purchasing it from the U.S.???

I have 2 Lenovo tabs at home,excellent build quality and feel but the display resolution was rather poor,updates are never released(only 1 since 4 months)
UI is laggy but installing a launcher like Nova or Apex solves the issue
its not bad but its not good either,i would suggest fonepad 7 or nexus 7(its cheaper in usa via deals etc) overall because of software and display , the feel and finish of the back of lenovo is better imho

Yes..buying it from US and will use it here atleast for next 1 year.
Its a gift..nexus 7 without sd slot will not work for the receiver.
Fonepad 7 is good but dont want call functionality as will not use that in US. Plus the cost is same as India.
Any other option of wi-fi only under $150?
When can we expect lollipop tablets?

Nokia N1 is worth considering
btw even if you dont need the calling function,the fonepad is a better option and so is the nexus 7 trust me

Ordered galaxy pro 8.4 for $200 as year end sale deal! waiting for it. Hope it lives up to my expectation.Fonepad was costing 180. So wanted to go with this one as the reviewes are very good and the receiver somehow has inclination to samsung! :p
