Lenovo's Yoga Tablet 2

Lenovo's Yoga Tablet 2





The devices sports a quad-core Intel Atom processor and 4GB of RAM, and feels really smooth. My hands-on time was limited by a lack of Wi-Fi and installed apps, but zipping around the Windows 8 and flipping through the tablet's various modes was very smooth.

The aforementioned 64GB of storage is joined by a microSD card slot that supports up to 64GB of expandable storage; that brings the grand capacity total to 128GB. Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi are joined by a Micro-HDMI and Micro-USB port, and there's a 1.6-megapixel camera up front. The tablet also packs a pair of speakers sitting on either side, and a subwoofer right on the back. I didn't have a chance to really appreciate the audio in our packed venue, but Lenovo claims it'll be rather capable for something so small -- I'll reserve judgement for when I can get my hands on a review unit.
The tablet is slightly heavier than most at 2.27 pounds (about 1kg, and not including the detachable keyboard), but it actually feels really light. It's also rather thin: a scant 0.6 inches (15mm) wide at the hinge, tapering down to 0.2 inches (5mm). Lenovo also claims the 13-inch Yoga Tablet will eke out up to 15 hours of battery life, care of a 12,800mAh battery. Last year's Android-based model packed a 9,000mAh battery and saw just over 12 hours of life in our battery tests.
