Lets start with Lenovo Ideatab A1000, it sports a 7 inch TFT at 600 x 1024 resolution with 170 ppi. The device runs on Android 4.2 Jellybean powered by 1.2GHz Dual-Core MediaTek MT8317T Processor coupled with 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage expandable up to 32GB via microSD. Only has VGA front camera for skype / video chat and your basic connectivity as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Battery at 3500 mAh would last you a day or two.

The Lenovo A3000 has similar display qualities as the A1000 but it is IPS for better viewing angles. Not only in the display but also almost same innards. On a plus point the A3000 has a Quad-Core Processor as well as storage can be expanded to 64GB via microSD. The tablet has a rear 5MP autofocus camera aside from the VGA Front. It does have the same 3500 mAh battery pack but with its quad core the A1000 would likely give more juice.
