Lenovo Android

Wife E.'s netbook computer went on the blink yesterday, in the middle of two undergraduate courses. A technician said it would take 21 days to repair. I decided to fix it myself -- but I knew there was trouble before I started, when a little SMD IC dropped out (a dual MOSFET). So I bought E. a Lenovo A10 running Android. As a Christmas present, I said. But if it was a Christmas present, she asked, then where was the wrapping? OBSERVATION: It must be the cheapest computer in town, but performs in amazing ways. However, it took us an hour to work out how to boot it up the first time (a sequential combination of key-presses), and it wasn't in the instructions.
