Review on Lenovo ZA0H0064US Tablet Slate Black by Jason Wesley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Like the great battery life, kickstand and GPS; and now it is very reliable after Android OS update to 6.0.1

*I hesitated to write a review for over a year after purchase. I gave it 5 stars initially and was very happy with it, especially after buying it for $110 on a lightning deal. Then I wanted to downgrade the rating as it was becoming laggy and frustrating to use. Why? I almost filled the internal storage with 75+ apps, lots of saved offline maps and an SD card (128GB Samsung card, not included) with photos, 500+ audios and 250+ movies (mostly non-fiction from the 50s) loaded. -phi); it became very slow and hung frequently. I didn't like this very much and tried many times to get it to work without success, even after deleting half my save files and apps multiple times. *But after I updated from Android Lollipop 5.0.1 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 via Lenovo's website (I waited a year for Lenovo to finally perfect the update), it became reliable and fast again without any of my had to delete files. I think the new launcher included in the Marshmallow update (Launcher 3) has solved the problems that the previous default launcher (Trebuchet) was causing. I have never tried any launchers other than the default launchers. * I've always loved the fold base feature and great battery life, but didn't like the first OS. Now upgraded to Marshmallow, I can use it as intended as a hiking companion, as a GPS, offline map storage, and as a full-featured AV library. I may have exceeded its capabilities with all the files I crammed in, but now it handles everything without a hitch, no issues: freezes or crashes. Would buy again if needed.

Pros
  • Fast change
Cons
  • Long wait
