[![Lenovo IdeaTab S2109 review a budgetpriced ICS slate with a few too many quirks][1] ][2]
### More Info
* [Lenovo IdeaTab S2109 teased by FCC, launching with 9.7-inch display this month?][3]
* [Lenovo's IdeaTab S2109 unveiled on YouTube, shows off 8.9mm-thick unibody shell][4]
* [Lenovo IdeaTab S2109 makes a splash stateside, offers a lightweight slice of Android for $349][5]
Lenovo got the memo: it's high time the company released a new tablet. With products from [Acer][6], [ASUS][7] and [Samsung][8] keeping us plenty busy these last few months, Lenovo can hardly expect to stay relevant with the [IdeaPad A1][9] and [ThinkPad Tablet][10] from 2011. So the [IdeaTab S2109][11], a $350, 9.7-inch slate running Ice Cream Sandwich, comes in the nick of time.
That's not to say we were surprised when the tablet launched in June. The S2109 made its grand [debut at the FCC][3] in March, and Lenovo teased its arrival with a [YouTube video][4] highlighting the 8.9mm-thick unibody shell and the 1,024 x 768 IPS LCD display. What the company wasn't so quick to point out, though, was that this device packs a TI OMAP 4430 CPU rather than the Tegra 3 processor that's quickly becoming the new tablet norm. So how does the performance stack up? Does this go toe to toe with all those other mid-range, 10-inch slates we've seen lately? Let's take a look.
