Is It Worth It?:聽The Lenovo IdeaTab S6000 isn't the most cutting-edge 10" tablet around, but it's built remarkably well. "The first time I handled the Lenovo IdeaTab S6000, I thought it was worth much more than its asking price," PC World's reviewer raved. "And that鈥檚 the thing about the S6000;聽." Although we saw it for $20 less during Black Friday, this refurb is tied with last week's mention and an incredible $81 price low.
This 1.2-lb. tablet features a 1280x800 touchscreen LCD, an MTK MT8389 quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of flash memory, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, a 0.3-megapixel front camera, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and Android 4.2 OS (Jelly Bean). A 90-day A4C warranty applies.聽

The Hisense Sero 8 features an 8" 1280x800 touchscreen display, a Cortex A9 1.4GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 2-megapixel rear camera, a 0.3-megapixel front camera, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 3.0, and Android 4.4 (KitKat). A 30-day warranty applies, but it's unclear who backs it.Marcy Bonebright is a features writer for , where first appeared.聽
