| Lenovo announces new A1000 and A3000 7-inch Android tablets to suit the mobile lifestyle of Filipinos |
Lenovo has recently announced a line-up of new 7-inch Android tablets, offering configurations and features that match consumer needs for ultra-portable tablets. The range includes two new 7-inch A-series tablets, designed for optimal mobility while still packing a performance punch. The A1000 is ideal for first-time tablet buyers and features enhanced audio, while the A3000 offers quad-core processing for speedy performance whether for gaming or web-browsing.
“Our second quarter 2013 industry figures show that Lenovo is best-positioned to win in today’s PC Plus era. Having reached a 16.7% global PC market share, both IDC and Gartner have reported that Lenovo has reached the top spot in PCs, marking the first time Lenovo has been distinguished as the clear global leader in PCs by both of these widely-accepted reports,” said Vicky Agorrilla, Country General Manager, Lenovo Philippines. “While we remain committed to the PC space, we have been expanding into new form factors to cater to today’s breed of young, dynamic Filipino doers who have adopted the mobile lifestyle and have embraced the seven-inch form factor as their tablet of choice. Lenovo’s latest seven-inch Android tablets, Lenovo A1000 and Lenovo A3000, are a testament of Lenovo’s ability to develop new product categories and markets, and our deep understanding of Filipino consumers’ multi-faceted needs, which differentiate us from the competition and set us apart as a truly innovative company.”
Lenovo A1000: Pocket Studio with Dolby
The A1000 delivers an audio experience normally reserved for more expensive tablets in a seven-inch device. With Dolby Digital Plus integrated into the device and large, front-facing speakers that ensure the sound is directed at the users’ ears rather than the floor, the A1000 is perfect for music lovers and those seeking a “pocket studio” for either music or movies.
The A1000 runs Android Jelly Bean 4.1 on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and has on-board storage of 4GB (2.6 GB usable), extendable to 32GB with a micro-SD slot, as well as feature a GSM SIM support, so users can load content up and take it to the gym, the office or anywhere else they want to experience high-quality sights and sounds.

Lenovo A3000: Full Performance in a Compact Package
In today’s connected world, devices must be mobile, without skimping on performance. The A3000 bristles with specifications typically found in a much larger device, all packed into a seven-inch form factor that is thin and light. Running Android Jelly Bean 4.2 on a 1.2GHz quad-core, MTK processor, the A3000 optimizes the user experience for games, video, photo-sharing and web-browsing, offering seamlessly fluid navigation and highly responsive performance.
The benefits of the seven-inch form factor are not ignored on the A3000 either. The tablet, which sports an IPS 1024x600 screen, weighs in at 345g and is only 11mm thick, but can still hold a wealth of content with a 16GB memory, which can be extended to 64GB with the external micro-SD card.
