Conclusion: We're mixed

If you're looking for a fast, modern 9-inch tablet for under $300, the A2109 may well be your best bet -- there isn't a lot of competition out there. However, the display leaves a lot to be desired, and if you're on a tight budget, you're likely to be better served by a good 7-inch tablet, like the Asus Nexus 7.

... with a unique build, you won’t find Lenovo’s offering here lacking if you want it for a media-delivery system – unless the display will trip you up: check it out in the store, you simply must.

A budget device should have a few compromises, but fundamentally be sound. The IdeaTab A2109 is just the opposite: a few good spots, but for the most part, it's just a slab of bad decisions.
