Lenovo yesterday announced a trio of Android-based tablets, all running Jelly Bean: S6000, A3000, and A1000. The new A-series are 7-inch models with the A1000 aimed at first-time tablet owners and the A3000 packing more of a punch. The S6000 is a 10-inch model with extended I/O options.
The tablets will be available worldwide from Q2 2013. Although pricing will vary based on market, configuration, and model, each tablet is promised to be “competitively priced.”

As tablets have continued their march into the mainstream, increasing demands with regards to larger screen devices have raised the bar for tablet makers.

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.
