If you're on the hunt for a low-cost tablet, look no further than the $200 Lenovo IdeaPad A1. This seven-inch Android 2.3-running tablet will be stocked with an A8 processor, dual cameras (the rear said to be 3MP), and have 8GB of on-board memory. There will be a few other versions to choose from — 16GB at $249 and 32GB for $299 — but since you'll have expandable SD memory on all models, upgrading for more storage will be pretty simple.

The A1 will be WiFi-only, but you'll be able to download apps from the Android Market or the Lenovo app market. The bright blue backing puts it at risk for looking cheap, but according to those who've already had some hands-on time with the A1 say that it's got some pretty solid construction.

This post comes from community member kitkatherine in our Geek Gear Reviews group:

In January, I ordered a new computer! After a lot of research on computers (I looked at Dells, HPs, Toshibas, Asus, and more), there were only a few that fit my needs. I needed a fairly inexpensive computer to replace my Sony, but I needed a good computer as well. Around $1,000 (which I realize isn't inexpensive for a laptop, but for what I needed . . .) I wanted a nice processor at 2.4 GHz or above, at the least a 512 MB graphics card, at the least a 320 GB HD, and I didn't want it to look really ugly.

At first, Lenovo wasn't even in the picture. Then I found this computer . . .

While my exact model isn't available there, what I got was from Buy.com and it's cheaper than Lenovo's site! I love this computer - it is really nice looking, light, portable, and fun.

To see the details about what kitkatherine loves about the Lenovo y550p, just read on.

Looks like you Apple fans aren't stressing out about waiting on hold for tech support — according to Consumer Reports, Apple is the top company for after-sales customer service. In a report that was based on phone support, online support, and general problem-solving ability, Apple beat out others including Dell, Toshiba, and Lenovo in all points. The survey took place over a one-year period and looked at 7,000 laptop and desktop users' customer support experiences.

Lenovo and Toshiba ranked second and third in the laptop category, while Dell and HP/Compaq ranked second and third for desktops. They claim that Apple's success is partially due to its ownership of the hardware and software that comes with each Mac. So amid complaints that Apple can be limiting, the silver lining is that its tech support is often able to troubleshoot and solve problems. And between phone, online, and Genius Bar support, Apple also gets an A for accessibility.
