From DailyTech: Tablet wars are starting to heat up. In the past few weeks, we’ve seen a couple of fresh Windows 8.1-based tablets enter the market along with second generation Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets. We’ve even seen a Windows RT-based entry from Nokia along with the new iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display from Apple.
Now it’s Lenovo’s turn (again), and the hardware maker is looking to turn a few heads with its new Yoga Tablet. The Yoga Tablet lives up to its namesake by including three modes of operation:
Hold Mode: Makes it easier to handle the device when reading, making the device more akin to holding a magazine or a book.
Stand Mode: By rotating the cylindrical portion of the tablet’s body, a stand pops out that provides an adjustable viewing angle from 110 degrees to 135 degrees. This mode is beneficial when watching movies or interacting with the tablet on a hard surface.
Tilt Mode: In this mode, the Yoga Tablet can be placed on a desk to allow for easier typing, internet surfing, and playing games.
Under the hood, the Yoga Tablet packs in a 1.2GHz Cortex-A7-derived quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and your choice of either 16GB or 32GB of onboard storage (a microSD slot is included for additional storage expansion). Other features include 5MP rear camera, a front-facing camera, and optional 3G connectivity.
Unfortunately, the Android-based tablets — which are available in 8” and 10” varieties — only come with a 1280x800 display. Also, the Android 4.2.2 operating system is a step behind Google’s most recent offerings.
