The Idino Notebook Core is now available at Mascom International for KSh 11,000, pairing a 10-inch touchscreen with 512GB of internal storage and 12GB of extended RAM on Android 16. This dual-SIM tablet handles 4G calls, WhatsApp, streaming, and schoolwork on one low-cost device. You can buy the Idino Notebook Core at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, or order it for countrywide delivery. At KSh 11,000, the Idino Notebook Core gives first-time buyers a large screen, a bundled keyboard, and room for hundreds of apps, photos, lessons, and downloads without stretching a tight budget.
The Idino Notebook Core suits families, primary and secondary school learners, college students, and small-business owners who want an affordable screen for daily tasks. Many Kenyan households cannot justify a costly iPad or Samsung tablet just for homework, YouTube lessons, and video calls. This tablet answers that gap directly. Students at Kenyatta University, JKUAT, and technical colleges can read notes, join Zoom classes, and open the M-PESA app without buying a laptop. Parents get one shared device for children's learning apps and cartoons. WhatsApp sellers can reply to customers and post catalogue photos on a screen far larger than any phone.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unbranded tablets with no backing, Mascom International sells the Idino Notebook Core with a store warranty and honest specifications. Buyers across Kenya tell us the bundled keyboard turns the tablet into a light typing device for emails and school assignments, saving the cost of a separate laptop. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for budget Android tablets from upcountry families in Nakuru, Eldoret, Kakamega, and Kisii. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to hold the Idino Notebook Core, or order today and pay only when it reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Idino Notebook Core
Is the Idino Notebook Core good value at KSh 11,000 in Kenya?
Yes, for a budget buyer the Idino Notebook Core offers a lot of screen and storage for KSh 11,000. Most branded 10-inch tablets with similar storage cost far more in Kenya. This tablet gives you a 10-inch display, 512GB of space, 12GB of extended RAM, dual-SIM 4G, and a bundled keyboard in one package. It will not match an iPad for speed or camera quality, but for browsing, WhatsApp, YouTube, e-books, and school apps it does the everyday jobs most Kenyan families and students actually need daily.
What can the Idino Notebook Core actually do?
The Idino Notebook Core runs everyday Android apps from the Google Play Store on a 10-inch screen. You can stream YouTube and local channels, hold Zoom and Google Meet classes, browse Facebook and TikTok, read PDFs and e-books, and chat on WhatsApp with a full on-screen keyboard. The M-PESA app, KCB, Equity, and Co-operative Bank apps run for daily transactions. With the bundled keyboard attached, it handles light typing for emails, notes, and school assignments. It is built for learning, communication, and entertainment rather than heavy gaming or professional editing work.
What does 12GB extended RAM mean on this tablet?
Extended RAM means the Idino Notebook Core combines its physical memory with a virtual portion borrowed from the 512GB storage to reach a 12GB total working figure.In plain terms, this lets the tablet keep more apps open in the background before it needs to reload them, which reduces stutter when you switch between WhatsApp, a browser, and a video. It helps smoothness on a budget chip, though it does not equal the same amount of true physical RAM.
Can the Idino Notebook Core make calls and use mobile data?
Yes, the Idino Notebook Core takes two SIM cards and connects to 4G/LTE, so you can make voice calls and use mobile data like a large phone. It works on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, and Telkom Kenya lines, letting you run a personal SIM and a business SIM together. This suits sellers who want a dedicated business number and families sharing one internet device at home. Wi-Fi is also built in for home and office networks.
Is 512GB of storage really necessary, and can I expand it?
512GB is large storage for a budget tablet, giving room for thousands of photos, offline videos, music, e-books, and dozens of apps without deleting anything. Most users will not fill it for years. If you still need more, a microSD card slot lets you add extra space for movies and backups. This matters in Kenya where data is costly, since you can download lessons, series, and music once on Wi-Fi and watch offline later, saving on Safaricom and Airtel bundles during the month.
Does the Idino Notebook Core come with a keyboard?
Yes, the Idino Notebook Core ships with a detachable keyboard and protective cover as part of the standard bundle, which is a key reason the tablet appeals to students.The keyboard clips to the tablet and turns it into a small typing setup for emails, class notes, and short documents, so a student can avoid buying a separate laptop. The cover also protects the screen inside a bag during the daily matatu or boda boda commute to school or campus.
Who should buy the Idino Notebook Core, and who should not?
The Idino Notebook Core is made for budget-conscious buyers, families needing a shared learning device, students on a tight allowance, and first-time tablet owners. It fits homework, streaming, browsing, reading, and video calls well. It is not built for serious gamers, video editors, or professionals running heavy software, since the chip and screen are entry-level. If your main need is affordable screen size, big storage, and a keyboard for basic tasks, this tablet delivers. If you want speed and camera quality, budget for a Samsung Galaxy Tab or iPad instead.
