In this day and age, leaks do happen from time to time, that goes without saying. Lenovo has already leaked out some manuals on its website, where they indicated that there will be a new hybrid Android tablet/laptop that will feature a 10.1” display. The device itself will be known as the Lenovo IdeaTab A10, where it will be a budget friendly model that will see the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system run alongside a quad-core Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 processor. As for the 10.1” display, it can be folded back by 360 degrees, with the added attraction of a front-facing VGA camera.

The hybrid device will also arrive with either 16GB or 32GB of internal memory, in addition to up to 2GB RAM. Accompanying the device would also be a couple of USB 2.0 ports and an HDMI port. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, where we have also come across retail listings of the product that has already been found in Germany to point towards a price of €250 for this particular model. There is no official announcement of the IdeaTab A10 at the moment, so we will just wait for something official in due time. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later. Could it be this tablet that we talked about earlier on?

It’s not easy being a 7-inch tablet these days. With relatively inexpensive devices like the ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7 and the refreshed Nexus 7 offering a whole lot of bang for your buck, budget tablet makers are facing stiffer competition than ever before. Lenovo hasn’t had much luck thus far delivering mobile devices that impress and, indeed, the company’s latest offering — the 7-inch IdeaTab A1000 — has its work cut out for it. With the 16GB model priced at $160 (currently on sale for $130), the petite IdeaTab prioritizes sound quality over its other functions, perhaps in the hopes that its above-average performance in that area will woo picky buyers. But does the A1000 have what it takes to compete in a crowded market? Read on to find out. %Gallery-slideshow73819%

MediaTek told us to only expect its tablet-focused SoC in the summer, but it’s clearly something of a keener: we’re already looking at the part today. The new MT8125 builds on the familiar formula of a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor and PowerVR Series5XT graphics, with most of the improvement coming from a higher 1.5GHz clock speed. That extra grunt helps the chip handle up to a 1,920 x 1,200 display on top of earlier support for 13MP cameras and 1080p videos. Focusing on tablets gives MediaTek some freedom in configurations, too — it can offer the SoC with basic EDGE cellular data, full HSPA+ or WiFi alone. Customers won’t have to wait long to try the MT8125 when tablets like Lenovo’s IdeaTab S6000 series should be using it now, although there’s no word on how much of that hardware will reach the US.

If Windows 8 tablets with Intel’s Clover Trail silicon under the hood were once a curiosity, well, they’re certainly not novelties anymore. We’ve seen lower-powered hybrids from virtually every PC maker, providing a cheaper counterpoint to Core i5 and i7 systems, but still offering useful accessories like keyboard docks. In addition to one of our favorite Atom-powered slates, the ThinkPad Tablet 2, Lenovo is shilling the IdeaTab Lynx (also known as the IdeaTab K3011) for $549 and up. So how does this system stack up?

As you can see from the picture, somewhere, deep within the FCC’s subterranean Washington bunker is a Holodeck. Down there, brave scientists seem to be examining a Lenovo-branded Windows tablet that shares some stylings with the company’s Transformer-esque IdeaTab Lynx. Given that the holiday season is nearly upon us, and FCC certification is normally a sign of impending availability, perhaps we won’t have long to wait before we learn the truth.
