Interesting Tablets: Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 or 10

Second edition of me exploring current Tablet choices in the market.Today the Lenovo Yoga Tablet. Specs over at The Verge...Also a box full of interesting ideas. This is a little Android metal tablet with an included kick-stand. It comes in 8 inch and 10 inch flavors and was promoted heavily by Lenovo and Ashton Kutcher. Here is what one would get:

  • 8 or 10 inch
  • Android 4.2
  • 16 GB Flash
  • Prices around 229 - 349 (then with LTE and 10 inch) €
  • 1280 x 800 resolution
  • Quad Core 1.2 GHz
  • 1 GB Ram
  • microSD

From my perspective the ideas are great. Seems like great and solid build quality. Nice materials and a great kick-stand. But why put such an outdated SOC into the thing? Why only 1280 x 800 resolution? Okay the price is amazing especially when comparing it to a 500 USD iPad with non-expandable storage. Still I am undecided about this one - I would love to try it out and then report back.+ Amazing Prices+ Great kick-stand ideas+ Great battery life of approx 18 hrs+ LTE is available and the build-quality seems good- low resolution- brains / CPU = slightly on the slow side
