Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 10-inch Review

Earlier this year, we took a look at Lenovo’s innovative YOGA Tablet 2 Pro that features a built-in projector. If that tablet caught your eye, but its size was just too big for your tastes or it's price was too high for your budget, the Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 may be a better option. This smaller tablet features a 10.1-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1920x1200 and a price tag under $250.

As you might expect, there are quite a few similarities between the YOGA Tablet 2 Pro and the YOGA Tablet 2. A quick look at the specifications of both models reveals the same 4th generation Intel Atom processor and 2GB of RAM. You’ll also notice both tablets feature a unique hinge which enables them to be used in four modes: hold, tilt, stand, or hang. Both models also have a rounded battery pack at the base of the display.

Because the YOGA Tablet 2 is a smaller, more affordable version of the YOGA Tablet family, this model doesn’t have some of the higher-end features of its larger brethren. More specifically, the 10.1-inch YOGA Tablet 2 lacks the built-in projector and has a lower screen resolution. Our review unit also has less internal storage, at 16GB.
