Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

60% Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro review - the 1st projector tablet
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
There's lots to like about the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro. We like the hinge design, the big screen, the speakers and even the built-in projector. However, we're not happy with performance, which compares badly with models that cost a quarter of the price, and its 7h 22m battery life is below average.

Lenovo has been bold with its latest tablet and, in some areas, it pays off: the stand and projector add office versatility, and the big screen offers good quality and a laptop-style experience. Build quality and design are top-notch, too. However, all of that is undermined by the Yoga’s size, weight and oddball design, as well as rivals that offer more power for less cash and bulk.

60% Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 13-inch
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
The Yoga Tablet 2 13-inch with Windows has a mouthful of a name, and at $600, a hard-to-swallow price. Yes, the quad-HD screen is great, and I like that you get more than 10 hours of battery life. However, this tablet is too expensive for a media-consumption device, and it's not powerful enough to be a real laptop replacement (and the keyboard doesn't like staying attached, either).

The one ever so slight thing that lets the tablet down is the price, at approx £400 (current price on Amazon) it basically comes in above most other Android tablets. Yes you get a lot of decent stuff for that price, you have to ask yourself a question, are the larger high res display, 32GB of inernal storage, some fancy speakers and a projector enough to warrant that cost? I guess if you want large Android tablet with decent specs, decent speakers and a projector then you’d say yes. But if you just want an Android tablet to browse the web on and to use to order your Asda shopping on I’d say look elsewhere.

Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro With Built-In Projector
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
Overall, the YOGA Tablet 2 Pro performed well in many of our benchmark tests. In real-world use, the tablet was very responsive as well. We have mixed feelings about Lenovo’s custom skin that runs on top of Android KitKat. It wasn’t bad, but we also didn’t feel like it added a ton of extra functionality.

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is a rare bird. In a year where tablets were more ho-hum than cutting-edge, the tablet-projector hybrid breathes a refreshing air of innovation onto the slate scene. Like all tablets, it's not without its faults, but if you can look past the hapless Android skin, it's an attractive option with fun and functional features.

Lenovo's unorthodox multi-mode Android tablets have always boasted striking looks, but middling performance and unnecessarily heavy software customizations usually spoil the appeal. Those issues still remain here, but to a smaller degree—they're far more tolerable in this iteration, especially considering the unique features you get in the bargain. At $470, it's pushing into iPad territory, but you're getting a much larger display and the built-in projector. No, the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro won't replace your home theater, but it makes for a nice complimentary and portable device for solitary media binges.

60% Yoga Tablet 2 Pro review: Solid productivity features can't make up for its crummy interface
Source: PC World Archive.org version
Lenovo knows what professionals want because it’s been in the business of catering to that particular clientele for years. As it figures out its Android strategy here in the U.S., I hope the awful launcher and crapware doesn’t continue to seep into its Android product lineup. Motorola can teach the company a thing or two about how to make an innovative device without suffocating stock Android with obnoxious overlays and confusing features.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 & Yoga Tablet 2 Pro review
Source: Androidcommunity.com Archive.org version
For the rest of the world, these two tablets are an easy recommendation. Though I’m not a fan of heavy Android skins, Lenovo has done it in a crafty way. Like the easier-to-grasp iOS, everything is right up front on the Yoga Tablet 2 and 2 Pro. I think for the average user, the learning curve here will be minimal.

A brilliant QHD display, booming JBL speakers, a handy onboard kickstand and a built-in projector make Lenovo's handsome Yoga Tablet 2 a winning multimedia device that could almost replace your TV. Plus, nifty software customizations make the Android slate easy to use. Though I wish it offered longer endurance and a brighter picture in projector mode, the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro packs in a ton of fun for its price.

The Yoga Tablet 2 Pro from Lenovo is a decent tablet, but it's big. It's hard to find a way to use it comfortably given the size, and it requires a large surface to set it down and use it. Its weight (2.09 pounds) doesn't facilitate using it in the hand for very long.

Yoga Tablet 2 and Tablet 2 Pro review: Innovative but imperfect
Source: Computerworld.com Archive.org version
Here we are a year later -- and sadly, it's the same exact story: This year's Yoga Tablet 2 and Yoga Tablet 2 Pro are cool concepts that come up short. Despite their clever forms and commendable stamina, they suffer from underwhelming displays, subpar performance and one of the oddest and most confusing user interfaces I've ever encountered. No matter how much I want to like them, their deficiencies are just too foundational and the resulting user experience too poor to be forgiven.

Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro Review
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
If you're in the market for a massive tablet, the Lenovo YOGA Tablet 2 Pro Review is pretty awesome. The only real competition this device has at the moment is the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 which, if you're buying straight from Samsung, will cost you about $150 more than this Lenovo product. There's also no projector there, but there is an S Pen - so that's the... very strange trade off.

The Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is a great entertainment tablet to have around the house, simply because its size makes it perfect for watching video content as you lounge about the house. Its various usability modes also means that you can find some sort of angle to best use the device in. The projector feature is certainly an interesting idea, and under the right conditions it’s actually pretty cool. At $500 it’s a bit steep, but truthfully speaking if you’re looking for a decent-sized tablet specifically for your home, or you think the projector feature would be something you’d use at work, then this is definitely the tablet for you.

Comment

Model:

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro boasts excellent portability and ergonomic design. This 13 inch tablet isn't your usual flat device but sports a large bulging hinge that doubles as a stabilizer. Most interesting of all, it sports a fully functional picoprojector. As with all tablets in the Yoga series, the kickstand is a real flexible bonus that makes hand-free watching of videos much more enjoyable. The projector can be switched on with a button for that portable big screen experience. Despite this however, some have mentioned that the projector is a little dim, which is expected since it’s coming from a relatively compact device.

This tablet runs Android 4.4.2 OS, which comes loaded with a full package of Google apps, among others. The hardware on this mini cinema is a 1.86 GHz quad core Intel Atom Z3745 CPU and an Intel BayTrail GPU. This is coupled with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB internal storage with expandable memory. The battery lasts about 5 hours which is pretty long, and it has a 13.3 inch IPS screen that sports a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The projector has a resolutions of 854 x 580 and displays images up to 50 inch wide. Cinema fans would really benefit from the experience of owning one of these portable movie theaters.

Series:

The Thinkpad Yoga is a series of ultrabooks manufactured by Lenovo. The Yoga Series was launched during 2012, and its successor, the ThinkPad Yoga 2, was released in the 4th quarter of 2014. Yoga laptops are made to be as light, thin and portable as possible, targeting the young and tech savvy consumers. The Thinkpad Yoga stands out due to its unique feature of being able to fold flexibly up to 360 degrees to switch to a tablet mode.

The Yoga Series started out in the end of 2012, with the Yoga 11 and Yoga 13 models, which are 11 and 13 inch respectively. Yoga 2 Pro was the second generation to be released end of 2013, a 13.3 inch model that is significantly lighter than the Yoga 13. The latest model to be released in the series is the Yoga 3 Pro, released recently at the end of 2014. This new model is even thinner and lighter than all its predecessors while maintaining the 13.3 inch size, although due to a more powerful processor the battery life is slightly reduced to just under 6 hours. Besides the ultrabooks, there are also the IdeaPad Yoga Tablets, which come in 8 inch and 10 inch models as well. 

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):

Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

Z3745: Soc with an integrated quad core Atom processor clocked at up to 1.86 GHz (Turbo), an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a dual channel LPDDR3-1067 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

76.4%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.

» Further information can be found in our Notebook Purchase Guide.
