This is the phone to have if you lose your main cell phone. it is very comparable to the S5 or S4. This phone has just enough room to get you back up an running. The phone itself does not come with a prepaid card just as an FYI. The monthly fee is low enough to get you what you had on your previous phone.

I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: 7" Tablets will fit in this with no issues

What's not so great: The case is a bit thick for a small tablet.

if you have an over sized 7" tablet this will probably be ok to use. I bought the Samsung Tab 3 7" Lite Tablet and it fits perfectly in the case. I had a hard time finding a case to fit this tablet. So if you bought the Tab 3 lite then this tablet case is a good buy.

What's great about it: Easy to setup

What's not so great: Screen easily distorts

If you are the expert tablet user, then this tablet is not for you. This tablet would be good for kids that really don't care about screen quality and all the extra features found on the full version of the tablet. The screen quality is not all that great. If you tilt it slightly, then the screen becomes dim and hard to read. This would be a good tablet for kids and maybe some adults to begin with.

This product is... easy to set up, Variety of apps available, Easy to navigate

Lenovo - Ideapad 110s 11.6" Laptop - Intel Celeron - 2GB Memory - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory - White

Get everyday computing wherever you with this Lenovo Ideapad 11.6-inch laptop. It includes 32GB of flash storage so that you can store basic files, and 2GB of RAM makes cloud computing a breeze. It also includes a dual-core Intel Celeron processor and Wi-Fi for easy connectivity from this Lenovo Ideapad 11.6-inch laptop.

Can I use the Lenovo Ideapad 110S 11.6 Laptop in Europe with just an adaptor of do I need a converter?

Best Answer

You will need to get an adapter for sure but maybe not a converter. I would check the country you plan on visiting. Our Power grids run anywhere between 100V to 240V on a Frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. Check the power cord first to make sure it has this capability then check with the countries' power grid to see if it falls between the voltage and Hz ratings. While I was in Germany, all I needed was the adapter for my laptop. I did not need a converter. In Ireland, I needed both the adapter and converter. Hope this helps.
