Aldi is at it again, this time offering as their ‘Special Buy’ a 10″, Jelly Bean running, 3G enabled tablet for just $249. The Bauhn built tablet which goes on-sale in limited quantities on Saturday the 23rd of February comes with a 12 month warranty as well as a 60 day satisfaction return warranty. They also are offering a Bluetooth keyboard case and a 16GB MicroSD Card as well.
The tablet comes with a pretty decent list of specifications :
- 9.7″ LED IPS Display
- 1.2GHz Dual-Core CPU
- 16GB Internal Storage with microSD Card slot(Up to 32GB)
- 5MP Rear Camera and Front Facing Camera
- Wi-Fi 802.11 B/G/N, Bluetooth, GPS
- 3G Enabled
- Google Play Store
- Android 4.1(Jelly Bean)
The tablet is yet to appear on either the Aldi Website or the Bauhn Website but the catalogue is freely available in-store.
Also in the latest catalogue with the tablet is the keyboard case for the Bauhn tablet which also incorporates a Bluetooth keyboard with inbuilt rechargeable battery for $29.99 and they’ve also listed a 16GB(note : Class 4) microSD Card for $14.99.
As usual with all these Aldi Tablets they WILL sell out quickly, so if you want one get in early next Saturday. Bear in mind that these tablets are certainly cheap and not as well built/engineered as a major brand name but they do like to pack a fair amount into them, so for a budget conscious family these are actually a pretty good deal.
Got one of this is excellent value… slick, all features, battery life is good, 3G works great, processor is fast, even used it as hotspot works great, @ $249 this is the best value 3G, wifi 20GB tablet anyone would get with 1.2Ghz quad core processor, 1 GB ram, thumbs up to Aldi! All is good except the touch screen could b bit improved & so could b WLAN card in it….
Hi Guy’s I have one and it’s a great little tablet. For $249 its great value. I use the 3G card when away from home and WiFi at home I put in a 32g micro SD card and I find the batt life is surprisingly good.. I only need to charge it every couple of days with a fair amount of use each day. So this time they got it right. A great value tablet. I also got the bluetooth keyboard case, but I much prefer to just use the tablet and a slip in wet suit type of cover.… Read more »
From the Whirlpool thread discussing this latest Aldi tablet – http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2056759 – It apparently has a 1.2GHz ARM Cortex A9 MTK8377 Dual Core Processor with the 2006 vintage SGX531 GPU. Oh dear.

This link does not work!!!!
it looks like the first gen ipad!
If it is anything like the last 10 incher they bought out (it looks almost identical physically) then expect to return it in a few days.
If it runs pure android then I hope it performs well for the consumer.
