The new Nook tablet seems like a comparable tablet. No word on processor or RAM. But if the specs for the new Nook match a Lenovo Tab Plus, that's a nice tablet at a nice price. |

224ppi at 10 inches is more like 1080P class than 4K. Especially at that price. But it's B&n and losing money on hardware is sort-of their specialty. |

It gets cheaper yet. For those interested, might as well wait until Nov 22nd.

Yes, but the spec sheet on the site didn't mention it, and I thought anyone who was looking at buying this tablet would want to know.
Of course, one would assume an Android device has BT, but I wanted to be thorough. |

Does IPS display mean back-lit or not?

Yes, backlit. This is a tablet, not an e-reader (e-ink).

Thanks for helping me convince myself I don't need this.
After googling IPS confusion reigned. |

Hm. I'm in the market for a new tablet right now, and this might work. I'll wait to see what the CPU and RAM are like, but if they're decent than for $120 this is on the short list.
