Lenovo has taken its "Yoga" brand, previously seen on adjustable Windows 8 laptops, to the realm of Android with a pair of kickstand-toting tablets that went on sale today. The Yoga Tablet isn't a convertible that switches from one form factor to another like the first Yoga, but it does include a flip-out stand that can be used to tilt or prop-up the tablet for video calls or watching movies. The cylinder is designed to make gripping the tablets easier and providing a sturdy stand for the 8-inch and 10.1-inch models.
Aside from the built-in stand, the Yoga Tablet has a selling point of the long cylinder housing a 6,000 mAh (8-inch) or 9,000 mAh (10.1-inch) battery that promises up to 18 hours of use. Sadly, the devices use a 1.2 GHz quad-core MediaTek processor that’s not as good a performer as the processors in other tablets.
Lenovo pitches the Yoga Tablet by offering a less powerful experience with a low price. The 8-inch Yoga costs $249 and the 10-inch model retails for $299. Best Buy is the exclusive seller for the 8-inch model now, while the 10-inch model can be purchased at Amazon.com and several other online retailers. Here are the Yoga Tablet specs.
