it's important to note that I bought this tablet a week ago, and as a first time user of rakuten, it wouldn't let me sign in again despite making new passwords so I wasn't able to collect my money. I don't know what the experiences for others would be like

Using the Chrome plugin, after clicking the product link, I had to sign in/activate Rakuten, then search Lenovo's site for the product, then Rakuten showed it was active during my purchase.

Was exciting to at first, but then saw reviews mentioning it can only play Netflix and Prime Video at 480P due to DRM restriction. Why, Lenovo, why?

Bought the tablet a month ago, here's my review:

- Screen is good, bright enough for daytime reading
- Kind of slow compared to a good android phone
- Battery life is really good.
- It will do FHD Netflix and other streaming in 1080p


All in all, for 200$ it's great value. A little slow sometimes; browsing some websites like reddit is a pain. Great little ebook Reader and/or n64 emulator machine though.

IMO this would probably be better simply because it's cheaper. I don't know your kids but if kids will be kids, then chances are it'll be destroyed by the end of the year. You could get two of these tablets for the price of one ipad but I really don't know. You could go down an even cheaper route with the amazon tablets. But perhaps you should go to the tablet section of RFD and ask there.

It's just like other sites, you go to the main site rakuten, sign in, then click their lenovo link and then purchase the tablet through the page it gives you

Interestingly these benchmarks show the SoCs roughly equal (acknowledging that these comparison sites aren't the greatest) though I haven't used both in person. How is the screen worse when they're both 1200p IPS and the P10's is a bit brighter according to the specs (400 nits on the P10 vs 350 on the M8), other than the fact the pixel density is lower on the P10? Agreed on the older OS, though Oreo is still plenty usable.

I stand corrected on the processor. I assumed since max clock speed was so different that real-world single thread performance would be noticeably faster. As to the screen, you're right I was referring to the pixel density, since to me 1200p is too blurry for reading text on a 10-inch tablet.

I got one few weeks ago. For this price, you can hardly get a better tablet than this.
Full HD screen makes a huge and noticeable difference (comparing to my Samsung Tab A 8.0 2019).
Screen brightness is more than enough in indoor setting. The overall daily operations are smooth with no lag.

Support 1080p playback on YouTube.
Speaker is quite weak and it's positioned on top of the tablet along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

One minus point is how it feels on hand. The screen panel doesn't connect with the back frame seamlessly. It makes the edges a bit sharp and you can definitely feel it.
