<body>Hi,<div><br /></div><div>I am planning to purchase a Lenovo Idea Tab Pro tablet. It gets very good reviews for a mid-range tablet and is the right price ($279 on sale during Black Friday week). The big knock against the tablet is that it comes loaded with bloatware. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've done some investigation about how to remove bloatware. There doesn't seem to be an easy solution. The solutions I've found require going into developer mode on the tablet and downloading software onto a laptop to manage the removal.</div><div><br /></div><div>My understanding is that the problem is common to Android devices. </div><div><br /></div><div>Has anyone on the list dealt with removing bloatware from an Android tablet? If so, can you provide advice on how to remove the bloatware?</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Harriet</div><div><br /></div><div>Harriet J.
