<\/a> <\/p>\nWhat Lenovo appear to have done is designed a tablet for the person who is travelling a lot and is tired of hunting for that power supply that is used by the cleaners in the airport.<\/p>\n
The bulge at the bottom serves several purposes:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong; this is not a productivity device. Anyone who thinks this type of device is for running Office is a muppet. This is a consumption device. It\u2019s for the sofa while watching TV, for watching video while travelling, for checking your email or posting on social networks. It does have Bluetooth 4.0 and supports a keyboard but you\u2019ll not see me doing that! There is Miracast support, by the way.<\/p>\n I went for the 8 inch version because that, to me, is the perfect size of a companion tablet. I have a 16 GB Micro SD plugged into it at the moment with some videos and the picture looks very good.<\/p>\n Price:<\/p>\n At that price, the device must feel cheap in your hands, right? WRONG! There is some textured plastic like material on the back, but it feels like a quality material rather than the \u201cSamsung plastic\u201d. But the majority of the device is aluminium, and the build feels very solid out of the box. We\u2019ll see how the hinge holds up after 6 months!<\/p>\n Any negatives? Yes; the speakers are wimpy. My HTC One phone shames most devices when it comes to speakers but it stomps all over the sound coming out of the Yoga Tablet. That doesn\u2019t bother me too much; I use Bose headphones when travelling.<\/p>\n I\u2019m travelling quite a bit in the next two weeks (Dublin > Berlin > San Francisco > Seattle > Dublin) so I\u2019ll be putting the Yoga Tablet to the test. You\u2019ll probably see a few tweets<\/a> about it during that time.<\/p>\n Note: I am still getting a Windows 8\u201d tablet. Microsoft would murder me if I used an Android device at one of their events :) Right now, the 64GB Dell Venue Pro 8 with stylus is my leading candidate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last Sunday morning, I was lying in bed in Rome, surfing the web and looking to see if Lenovo had started selling the new Yoga 2 in Ireland.
