This tablet was great at the start but after a few software updates it just freezes randomly. Sometimes I have to force shutdown. Seems to be a standard issue looking at forums and Lenovo's lack of response to the issue with no hint of a fix. Great for streaming, watching videos, email and office suit. Anything more and I would spend more to get… Read more

higher specs. You do get what you pay for and this is a decent tablet for the price, just a shame with the freezing.

Absolute failure – Truly awful experience straight out of the box. I have made very little demand on this device and it consistently freezes a minimum of two or three times every use, on any and every app. Only installed a few extra apps and it still fails miserably to function for more than a couple of hours at a time. Even after repeat factory resets it's useless. Buy a blackboard and some chalk instead. The only smooth thing about this tablet is the glass. Show details

its very laggy – the tablet is ok for watching youtube videos and only a couple of light games because it will freeze trying to use google and it also freezes on the home screen because it is so underpowered Show details

Good value – Nice build case. screen sharp and natural. Responds faster than my Toshiba laptop and about as quick as my Lenovo pc. Not getting any issues other reviewers mention. Even using it for audio edits. With keyboard it is like a small laptop! At the price it is not a high grade unit but it does a good job. Show details ·  1

Easy use, fast operation – A good size tablet, with great quality qicture and good sound. The sound has good tone, it's not cheap sounding or 'tinny', and is quite loud for the volume controll. Being a quad core it's super fast to load, and easy to use with Android system. The only down side is the low megapixel cameras and the fact it has no flash. For a boxing day special, and using cash back rewards we scored the device for $177, so no complaints for the price really. Show details

Never Lenovo again. Don't be cheap, you'll regret it – This thing is a literal pos. The battery life is below par, it compensates by turning itself off at every opportunity. It comes preloaded with software like disc utilities that are forever interrupting you to perform disc cleanups only to show you advertising, followed by a battery health check-up which means more advertising. I bought it because… Read more

it was cheap, even the special I got it for at JB does not make it worthwhile. Kicking myself for taking a chance with this brand.

piece of junk – I bought a lenovo tab m10 from JBHI FI when it was on special . It was an impulse buy and I should have done my homework on this tablet . This tablet is the biggest piece of junk that was ever made. You load 2 videos on for the kids and it is out of storage . It has 2 gig of ram that is useless to say the least . It lags terrible , you push the… Read more

A basic, affordable and robust device – I purchased this tablet primarily to run a mapping and navigation app on. I am not using large amounts of memory or storage and expected reasonable performance. It has performed well in these areas, as well as managing emails, social media and basic apps. However, it is laggy and buffers, Wifi connectivity drops out every few minutes, especially… Read more

if I am not on top of the modem. I never use the camera and this was not a priority but it is less than basic and the model I have has no digital compass, meaning that augmented reality views in apps do not work, this is a basic requirement and featured by most tablets and smartphones. It gets 3 stars for being a basic device, affordable and robustly built.

Very slow and glitchy – Purchased in December 2022 as an entry level tablet for a child. Only used for educational apps and kids entertainment. Takes so long to boot up it puts itself to sleep. Apps slow to open and often crash. Online help puts you in a feedback loop with no meaningful solutions. Going to take it to an e-waste depot and buy an iPad. Show details

It is just slow at everything M10 gen 3 – The tablet was slow from new, even disabling every single app that you could still didn't give it enough of a boost. The short story is that this tablet has an excellent high res screen, but is underpowered to make it usable. It even struggles with youtube, when there are no other apps open and has been recently rebooted and all non essential apps… Read more

I wish i never bought this, it is a total waste of money, I should have just spent that little bit extra.

Meh. Not again – Looked spiffy in the shop, but is a PITA to deal with, not to mention Lenovo "support" which puts you into a perpetual loop back to the 'find your device' screen when you try clicking "Contact Us." Factory reset after 3 days when I was denied access to main storage and couldn't get help or figure out a hack, because it wouldn't let me add apps without deleting others. App storage *way* too limited. Not happy. Show details

You get what you pay for I guess – I bought this tablet when I started uni, lured mostly by the price and the big 128gb storage. Lenovo is an acceptable brand right? Well less than a year on, I've just replaced it with a Samsung. Why? Firstly. Poor battery life. My ancient 16gb Samsung battery lasts longer by hours. Secondly, the screen lock keeps activating while I'm using the… Read more

tablet. The final straw was when the screen started freezing. You can unfreeze it by locking then unlocking the screen, but it is a pain in the butt. Something that would take 5 mins to type took over 20 mins the other night. Other than storage space, my old Samsung Tab A6 leaves this Lenovo for dead. So I just went and bought a new Samsung. Lenovo doesn't seem to understand how repeat business works.

Connection issues – Since the word go this Lenovo tablet has had issues with keeping a connection to WIFI. For years my modem has been in the same spot with a solid connection all over my property and no other devices have had an issue. Right from the start this tablet has been having issues, so much so I went and bought a WIFI extender and although this has somewhat… Read more

fixed the issue of dropping out it does still happen. I am trying my hardest not to go to the place of purchase and wrap it around the sales persons head. Never will buy Lenovo again

Don't Buy this - Lenovo don't replace/repair cracked screens – Bought Lenovo TAB M10 FHD plus AUS $259 on April 13. I dropped it and the screen is cracked. Lenovo don't offer replacement screens for tablets. It's e-waste. Don't buy this product or any other Lenovo tablet. Show details

Worse tablet ever, stay away from Lenovo – Bought two of these tablets, both had the same issue where battery not charging just before one year. One got refund and the other one due to screen cracking since first week of getting this tablet, which has nothing to do with the battery issue. Lenovo refused to repair or refund and wanting to fix screen first which they quoted the same price of… Read more

a new tablet. Lenovo staffs also had no idea what the company policy, one said crack screen void the warranty, and one said they dont do partial repair, but when ask for statement, no one can provide that. Also partial repair should be for thing that not working, in this case, screen work fine. will never ever use Lenovo again, such an inferior product.

Sluggish and unreliable – At first the Lenovo M10 tablet seems okay with it's reasonable specs. But the more you use it the more disappointing it becomes. The screen is okay to look at but frequently doesn't detect taps or is slow to respond in web browsers, causing you to tap several times and then have it do the wrong thing because of it's delayed response. It is also… Read more

loaded with several Lenovo apps that can't be removed or disabled. The WiFi has problems - it can't connect to 5GHz channels but will try if the channel has the same name as your 2.4GHz network, resulting in the wifi dropping out. The battery goes flat even when not used. Sound is average. Purchased 2 months ago. Not recommended.

Charge issues. Clunky – This tablet should be pretty good work the specs. Screen is not the best, but for the price you wouldn't expect it to be. 3GB RAM should make it fairly responsive, but fairly similar to our old iPad Mini. When scrolling through simple text on a website, it lags and jumps. Now after about a week of use, the factory charge cable broke as it was… Read more

always really tight to put into the tablet. I used other factory cables and it worked for a free days, not now no other cables seem to be able to charge. It shows it is charging but has been at 0% battery for the last day. I don't really know what other options there are for the money, but perhaps phones in that range are much better value and will work much better with general internet use.

Extremely disappointed with this tablet – Wifi continually drops out to the extent that it is unusable. Incredibly frustrating. App notifications remain after the notification has been accessed. On the other hand often notifications don't appear. It is just the most frustrating thing to use. Sometimes I end up putting it down and digging my 7 year old iPad mini out of the drawer instead.  Show details

it wasn’t that bad but it’s better we both have our own. It’s cheap in price, I was tossing up between this tablet and other more expensive tablets mainly because of branding. But I’m glad I gave Lenovo a go and saved myself $400 by not buying the other brand.

Issues with connecting to WIFI – Purchased this product and attempted set up. Product recognised WIFI network but would not connect. Hotspotted thru phone to update software but still issue persisted. Went through troubleshooting which requires alteration to router. This is not a good product there should be a seamless WIFI connection these days. Show details
