Turns out it is the tablet fault. There is a popup saying that UI 
crashed, app info or close? Either causes a crash. Happens with several 
apps.

Tried factory reset, same problem.

This is firmware trouble.

I'm returning the tablet and they will provide another. Will take weeks.

There are more problems. The app "Lenovo avantage" says that I am out of 
warranty. There is a button to correct this, that they want the invoice, 
open file. But the button doesn't work.
