Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro With Built-In Projector Review
Introduction and Specifications
Google created Android as an open platform with the intent that software developers and hardware manufacturers would create new, useful, and innovative things for the platform. Since Android was introduced, we’ve seen a number of interesting devices from cameras to HDMI dongles that utilize the OS. But tablets and smartphones remain the key focus for most manufacturers.
Most Android tablets are cookie-cutter slates. The major differences from one model to the next are generally a combination of software features and variations in key hardware specifications such as the processor, screen resolution, or storage capacity. Over the years, we’ve also seen some spins on the traditional Android slate tablet whereby manufacturers have incorporated keyboards, docking stations, additional batteries, etc.
Today, we’re taking a look at a new Android tablet from Lenovo that incorporates some new ideas we’re not accustomed to seeing on tablets. The Yoga Tablet 2 Pro features a larger than normal 13-inch screen along with a built-in tablet-projector that lets you create your own home theater experience anywhere you go. The tablet also features relatively powerful speakers with a subwoofer to add to the multimedia experience. As you can tell, the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is designed with entertainment purposes in mind.
