If you're looking for an affordable 7 inch Android tablet that won't empty your wallet, look no further than Lenovo's new IdeaPad A1 tablet, which was announced today at the IFA Conference. It may not be top of the line of tablets, but for the price point, this little guy is definitely going to be a hard one to beat, except Haipad.

We know, we know -- Windows 8 isn't splashing down on consumer devices for a good long while, but seriously, how's a boy to get excited about something that's already old hat? And moreover, something that has never, ever worked out. Every single Windows 7 tablet that we've tested has suffered a similar fate: too bulky, too sluggish, not longevous enough and too difficult to to operate sans a keyboard and mouse. That said, Lenovo's providing a darkhorse option for those uninterested in its duo of new Honeycomb tablets, with the IdeaPad Tablet P1 bringing Windows 7 into a familiar 10.1-inch shell.
