Lenovo introduces 8 and 10 inch Yoga Tablets with Android for $249 and $299. The Lenovo Yoga 8 inch model is available exclusively from Lenovo.com and Best Buy starting October 30th, with the 10 inch model available from a wider ranger of retailers.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet features a unique kickstand and battery that allow comfortable use in three different modes - Hold for reading, Stand for viewing and Tilt for playing games, for up to 18hrs on a single charge. The stand lets you prop the tablet up on a table in stand mode — the stand is adjustable to let you fit angles from 110 to 135 degrees. You can also lie it down on a table, using the same kickstand to prop up the tablet at a gentle angle in tilt mode for gaming or typing. Both the 8 and 10 inch Yoga Tablets feature 1.2 GHz MediaTek MT8125 quad-core processors, 1280 x 800 pixel displays with 178 degree viewing angles, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. |
There’s also a microSD card slot for up to 64GB of additional storage space and a microUSB OTG port. They both run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean software. The tablets have stereo front-facing speakers, a 5.0M rear and 1.6M front cameras, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, and a headset jack and built-in mic with noise cancellation. In some regions there will also be 3G capable models with a micro SIM card slot. The 8 inch Yoga Tablet features a 600mAh battery and measures 8.4″ x 5.7″ x 0.29″ at its thickest point and weighs 14 ounces. The 10 inch model has a 9000mAH battery, measures 10.3″ x 7.1″ x 0.32″ and weighs 1.3 pounds. |
