PC maker Lenovo recently forayed into the Indian tablet market by launching ThinkPad, IdeaPad K1 and IdeaPad A1. While the ThinkPad and IdeaPad K1 are placed in the Rs. 30k-50k range, the IdeaPad A1 is priced under Rs. 15k. The IdeaPad A1 comes with a host of high-end features, and runs on the Android Gingerbread operating system. The IdeaPad A1 is certainly going to be pitted against the Reliance 3G Tab, another Gingerbread tablet priced under Rs. 15k category.
For now, we have yet to review the IdeaPad A1 and give you our verdict on it. But in the meantime, we bring to you a brief spec comparison between the latest IdeaPad A1 and Reliance 3G Tab:
