BUDGET supermarket Lidl has unveiled a tablet computer costing under thirteen pounds.

The tablet, called the LiPad, has dispensed with an expensive touchscreen interface in favour of knobs which control the horizontal and vertical axis of a moveable cursor.

Users can draw their own entertainment on the screen, which uses magnetic aluminium technology.

A Lidl spokesman said: The kids want a tablet, Granny wants a tablet, but we all know itll be gathering dust in a cupboard in a month.

With the LiPad you can still enjoy movies, games and surfing the web while exercising your imagination and creativity.

For example, instead of boring old watching Die Hard 4, now you can create it yourself, frame-by-frame, then shake it away when you get bored.

Eight-year-old Tom Booker said: I played with it for about 20 minutes, got bored, smashed it over my younger brothers head and broke the screen.

Which is exactly what I wouldve done with an iPad Mini.
