Well first impressions are very good.

 

The pen is response and intuitive, and seems to actually write better than the Samsung tabs that it will replace.

 

I've left it with a few of the sales monkeys to really test it and let me know what they think.

 

Did you get the 64Gb pro version?

 

I had a quick dig about and only the 16Gb model seemed to be available in the UK.

Yes I got the 64GB premium version, as that comes with a pen and case. My fault that this one is WiFi only as I didn't check the part number properly when I ordered it, but the 4G is available too.

 

We have a credit account with Ebuyer and they managed to get them for me

 

They now have them listed on their main site.

It does look like quite an impressive tab that one.

 

I went old school this week and bought a netbook. It was £129 last week.

Gave my sister my old i5 Dell laptop. It was too big and heavy to use.

 

TBH so far I'm very impressed with the little Lenovo. It's very fast for web and basic docs (installed WPS office), not a lot of space on the disk but I've put in a 64Gb micro sd.

Plus it genuinely light and seems to be suggesting 13hr battery with normal use. Keyboard is much better than review suggested.

Sometimes simple is best.

Not much help really, but I'm a great fan of the advice on a packet of painkillers. "TAKE TWO TABLETS AND KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN".

To put this one to bed, I ended up ordering them from Amazon. Even Ebuyer couldn't get the M2-A01L models, despite contacting Huawei directly.

I bought all of the stock that Amazon UK had, so it's now only Amazon sellers who have it listed, appearing to come from Italy or Spain.

 

Brilliant tabs, well worth the faffing of getting hold of them
