Lenovo IdeaPad A10 is one of the best choices available on the market for customers who can`t decide if they want a tablet or a regular laptop. It was released back in October 2013 and it was the very first Lenovo laptop to run the Android OS. The operating system makes this device a good choice for people who like Android more than Windows OS. Despite the fact that it has some great features, after a period of time, this laptop starts to work slower than usual, or even freeze when the user opens some applications. If your device starts to work like that, you should keep in mind that you may need to hard reset the  Lenovo IdeaPad A10 to factory mode.
