Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen Tablet - 10" FHD - Android 12-32GB Storage - Long Battery Life, Gray

I'm a Lenovo fan. I have a Lenovo Chromebook, IdeaCentre, and a ThinkPad. They all run Linux beautifully, which is one reason I'm a Lenovo fan.I started considering purchasing a new tablet. I've been using an 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A for a couple of years. I think 8-inch tablets are an ideal size. They're about halfway between a phone and a Chromebook. And if you're a dude they're small enough to fit in a back pocket.But I decided I want a larger display, and a quality one, mainly for reading. So I looked around. Of course I considered the Kindle Fire 10 HD, mainly for price. But the lack of access to Google Play store was kind of a dealbreaker.So I started considering this tablet. It's Lenovo (big yay for me) and it went on sale at about the same price as the Fire tablet. Lenovo, Play Store, and good specs and performance? I'm in. So I bought one.This tablet really works for me. Its performance is great compared to previous tablets I've owned. (I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak to how well it runs games.) The IPS display is good enough, with enough PPI for sharp text and vivid color. It comes with a zippy processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. The camera might not be dazzling but it is decent. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Most of the bloatware (and there's not that much) is easy to uninstall or switch off. I'm really happy with it.Well, almost really happy. There is one bit of bloatware that can't be switched off or uninstalled, and that's a persistent nag on the settings page to sign up for the Lenovo User Experience. You can decline as many times as you want, and the nag just comes right back. Then there's the "Lenovo ID" login prompt that also can't be dismissed.I don't know what Lenovo is thinking -- "Hey if we just be relentless and wear them down, they'll eventually give in and sign up." No that's not how this works, and that's not the way to build customer happiness with a brand. And I don't want to sign up for another "ID" in today's climate. I've had enough surveillance and tracking and data collection (despite assurances no "personally identifiable information" is retained -- we all know that can be changed to personally identifiable information with just a mouse click). And it's just annoying, no matter how many "advantages" signing up supposedly brings.So, no, I won't sign up, no matter if that nag stays on until the tablet wears out. And I'll continue to be mildly annoyed by it, but probably continue to be a Lenovo fan, but maybe not quite as enthusiastic a fan as I would be otherwise.
