    Thanks

    I got a refurb myself from Argos but it was dire in performance, it was an Iconia One 7 inch 1gb 16gb Android.

    I have no idea what the best CPU's are for the money.

    Is the one you recommended going to be good enough for these shoot em up type PVP games?

    goes without saying that your options are limited in the new market for a tablet <£100

    the iconia only has 1gb ram so will be slow. the lenova has 2gb so will perform better.

    not sure how it will perform playing the games. unless someone else can advise here i would go on some of the specific game forums and ask the question there

    The spec looks decent although these days you can no longer rely on quad core meaning that something will actually be fast but for the money I guess one can't complain.

    Is Android 6.0.X Marshmallow a problem

    Lenovo says it has no plans to upgrade further

    I bought a dual boot windows 10/Android tablet.

    64GB storage (card slot to extend that), 4GB RAM, quad core.

    Chuwi Hi 10. Various others with similar specs.

    Thanks I saw that but seems to be stuck at Android V5,

    From what I have seen online V6 is a minimum, ideally V7, V8 is latest.

    I have no idea about this but if it is like any other OS I can see certain apps requiring V6 or 7 and at some point V8, so do not want to restrict the life of the product.

    Still looking for a decent CHEAP 10" tablet circa £100

    Needs to have a bit of grunt for PVP games and also good screen when used as eReader

    Has the market moved on?

    Is there an amazing new cheap 10" tablet ?

    Or maybe a deal on an end of line but decent one?
