Lenovo CG Slate is an educational tablet for kids priced at Rs 7,499

Lenovo has partnered with ConveGenius to launch a special tablet for grade K-5 students with NCERT curriculum in India. The device is essentially the Lenovo Tab 2 A7-20 customised with features and apps offering interactive learning to kids. The company likes to call it an edutainment solution which was earlier accessible exclusively to ConveGenius’ B2B clients, which include state governments, large NGOs and learning centres in India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The main features of CG Slate’s edutainment solution include:

• Learn Zone to learn about various subjects of his or her liking through video stories, digital books, worksheets and games based on the NCERT syllabus
• Play Zone with exciting cartoons, movies and games which TITU, CG Slate’s mascot, will take you through. Also earn coins as the child learns more; these coins can be redeemed in the Shop Zone for great cashback offers.
• Parents, through a password, can enjoy all the features of a standard Lenovo tablet, which makes CG Slate a premium affordable tablet for the entire family.
