Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1 Features, Price and Review



Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1 Features





If you are looking for a 10-inch Android tablet a few months ago, it would be very difficult for them to find for sale and Android 2.2 is the only game in town. However, with the launch of Google OS Honeycomb in late February, the doors began to open. Now you can not kill a USB cable and do not hit any of these things and many are based on very similar if not identical platforms. As such, it is very difficult for manufacturers to differentiate their products in this market segment, though some have been more successful than others.

In the mobile arena, where a manufacturer was able to make a place for your brand in recent years, should be with its ThinkPad line of products that meet the general road warrior and professional. Lenovo IdeaPad consumer-oriented is less productive in this regard, however. Recently announced Lenovo ThinkPad and IdeaPad Honeycomb tablets two fields, but today we look at its new IdeaPad K1 single tablet.

K1 is the first ThinkPad Tablet Lenovo tablet honeycomb on the market, but more industrial strength ThinkPad Tablet is expected to arrive in the coming months. K1 is perceived as an external media consumer and entertainment designed for portability and performance on the road. Frankly, that sounds like a lot of Honeycomb tablets we've seen before. So why Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1 get their attention? Let's see if we are in our hands on experience and performance evaluations on the following pages.

If you are looking for something on the list above or specifications of Lenovo beam, jumping and shouting "take me", which will probably be a small apartment. Make no mistake, but more than 10 inches Android Honeycomb slate, based on the same NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core 1 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM in many other settings are built. Facing 2MP and 5MP cameras looking back mandatory are there, such as 802.11n, Bluetooth, HDMI slot and a mini micro SD card. This is probably a little less surprising is the $ 499 MSRP for the 32GB model IdeaPad K1, including price and $ 100 less than the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 2 and the Apple iPhone since, according to Asus Eee Pad transformer. Take a look and see what else is on this unit makes it unique ...

It may not be as thin as iPad 2 or Galaxy Tab 10.1, but Lenovo has a high quality design and finish as similar IdeaPad specify. Pewter colored frame IdeaPad Tablet K1 almost feels stiff and strong in hand, plus the processor that Asus. The film is a little strong, however, 1.5 pounds, but it is very easy, so I will live.

K1 back we received was not the version I saw bright color. Instead we have a matte black rubber in our K1, this site is completely resistant to fingerprints behind "zero mini" on a desk or coffee table. In fact, we are much support from the board, and two stereo speakers on the rear window, feel (and sound) relatively well placed too. If you are considering a K1, you should go with the goal of bringing much better than glossy painted surfaces that are available on other models. Note that the support can not be removed as Toshiba K1 flourish and the battery is not user.

Although K1 is 0.5 cm thick or thicker section Lenevo housing designed around tapered edges, so it really does not matter as much as you might think. The general feeling is certainly less extensive than the Toshiba thrive, in spite of only 0.15 cm thick K1. The design is quite minimalist, K1, with only micro HDMI, headphone, speakers and a docking port available outside the micro SD card slot. There is a guide available on the lock screen K1, which is a nice addition. Perhaps most interesting is K1 screen capture button on the front right of the plateau of the telescope (left at the top of this page). Keep a few seconds makes a perfect picture of what appears on the platform at the moment.

Some pills have this capability on the basis of allocation, all the buttons, however, was the first time I saw a dedicated button for the post and was a welcome feature. He was extremely helpful in preparing the next page for screen shots of software experience and the user who has coverage for you next time.

Interestingly, the thing is if the software Lenovo has decided to make a little special sauce to add rack IdeaPad K1. Although the device is configured with a stock 3.1 of the system Android, Lenovo twisted little user interface in some key areas to provide additional utility that comes with honeycomb at this time.

Widgets and display features are similar to K1, but Lenovo is a series of widgets that proposed in the center of the screen. Called "Lenovo Launcher", this area of ​​five custom widgets provide quick access to frequently used applications. Lenovo is also a pair of custom widgets to quickly check on the home screen for things like lock and mute. However, customizing the widget does not stop there. K1 also has a flash multi-application (in the Middle East above) to the calendar, social networking and Gmail update messages is displayed on a screen. You will also notice that the standard icons of the main application of honeycomb layers back and have been slightly modified, resulting in a more daring and white surface apparently. And as they say, "But wait, there's more!"

You may have noticed in the wheel of Widget application in the middle of the taskbar. It looks like a speech bubble in six small boxes. The application and click the wheel icon on the right side of the screen, a line of favorite applications you can easily navigate through the sample. You can also use applications by adding or subtracting from the application of the wheel forward. The interesting feature is integrated into the user interface T1 red X Killer App Lenovo can be seen in the upper right corner of each application is shown in the window Android application layers. Click on a red X and that there is in the background. Google, why not say so? Good work for Lenovo. Thank you.



K1 has a number of custom applications and some others, like Lenovo's gallery, which is definitely softer than the stock Android application. In addition, the file manager provides access to Lenovo on board and removable storage, with a custom interface. Finally, there are other bells and whistles together in K1, as the implementation of Lenovo Draw. In total, Lenovo has a very nice job to provide the K1 with many tools and utilities.

In the entertainment field, Galaxy on Fire Test Lenovo two beams and Need for Speed ​​Shift HD high definition. These are solid games, fun and the graphics are quite impressive in terms of what can be viewed on a PC board these days.

Again, referring to both versions of 3D graphics, Tablet Lenovo IdeaPad K1 is equal scores with competitors honeycomb-based solutions as Xoom Motorola, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Acer Icons and Tab. That said, K1 tend to fall into the middle of the group, instead of climbing to the top floor. Maybe Lenovo could use an update for the NVIDIA graphics driver comb used in construction, or possible (though unlikely) that some of the interfaces of resources the user configuration is to use a little more new scenes. However, all these honeycomb board, no major stand-out, but the Asus Eee Pad transformer appears to be very accurate, at least in performance.
