10-inch Lenovo Tab 4 Android for $120 [Treasure Truck]

One of the reasons Amazon stopped resisting the sales-tax collection from the various states is because they had a variety of plans for local delivery and sales of products. One such thing is their “Treasure Truck”. Amazon’s “truck” (virtual or actual) shows up at predetermined locations and offers a particular product at a particular price.

Happening now at a various locations around the country is the new condition 10-inch Lenovo Tab 4 Android, model ZA2J0007US, offered for $120 with free pickup from the Treasure Truck. The price of this at the Amazon website (where it averages 4.2 out of 5 based on nearly 300 customer reviews) is $170.

You have to buy it from the Amazon app, you can’t buy it from their website. It shows up in Amazon app notifications, but you can also directly jump into the app and go to the Treasure Truck section…

The tablet itself’s standout feature is a 20 hour battery life estimate, with 2GB RAM, Snapdragon processor, 1280 x 800 resolution, microSD, Android 7.1 and such.

10.1-inch 32GB HP Pavilion X2 Detachable for $200 [W8]

As of a 3/11/14 recheck, this sale is back on!

Windows goes on the attack once again, bringing fire and blood to the Chromebooks which perhaps rested a bit on their laurels.Right now, for just $200, you can get the 10.1-inch 32GB HP Pavilion X2 Detachable hybrid from Amazon.com. Or you can get the 64GB version for about $25 more. Limit three per customer.

It’s a tablet, it’s a laptop, and it is SSD powered, so no painful hard disk spinning. And it has a touchscreen. It is powered by the recent Intel Atom Z3736F Processor, with 2GB RAM, Intel HD graphics, 1280×800 resolution, and a battery life estimate of over 11.5 hours. You also get a one year subscription to Office 365.

For general purpose lightweight computer use, I am now starting to tilt towards Windows 8 2-in-1s over Chromebooks. Thanks to the Desktop persona, you can install most of your favorite Windows apps, and you can install as many browsers as you want. And that’s before you take it to the next level with Firefox Profiles.

Obviously, don’t expect these to run Photoshop or AutoCAD or heavy duty productivity software. But for email, browsers, social media, music, videos, they can be pretty, pretty, pretty good as Larry David likes to say. You still have the various frustrations of Windows, it still takes a million pointless clicks just to install a new version of an existing app, you still have to reboot every time Windows Update sneezes, and such.
