Lenovo’s Yoga Ultrabook is often hailed as one of the best Windows 8 convertibles. So Lenovo has chosen to expand its lineup with an Android tablet: simply named the Lenovo Yoga Tablet. Like the original Yoga and the new Yoga 2 Pro, the tablet can work in a variety of positions – in this case, thanks to a built-in kickstand. Its Lenovo Yoga Tablet also has a staggering 18 hours of  L e novo Yoga Tablet batterylife. Oh: New Lenovo partial Ashton Kutcher is promoting the device, so there’s that .
While Lenovo’s Yoga Ultrabook is a flagship and priced to match, the Yoga Tablet is surprisingly affordable: $249 for the 8-inch model and $299 for the 10-inch model. So, curious how the acrobatic abilities of yoga translate to a stand-alone slate? Read on for the full report.

The built-in kickstand and 9,000mAh Lenovo Yoga Tablet battery (6,000mAh on the 8-inch version) create a bump on the back that prevents the device from laying flat . On a flat surface, it is placed at a slight angle, with the base of the device higher than the far end. Typing downhill can be a nightmare, so you’ll need to rotate the device so you can type up instead of down (It really annoys me that it means the Lenovo logo is always upside down, but in the long run it’s forgivable.)

Both the Yoga Tablet 8 and 10 are relatively light, at 0.88 pounds and 1.33 pounds respectively; they’re definitely comfortable enough to hold for long periods of time, and the cylindrical bottoms provide a comfortable grip. Although the Yoga Tablet’s giant battery necessitates a bulky bottom end, the rest of the tablet is fairly thin—try 0.12 inches (3 mm) thick. In fact, Lenovo wisely chose not to put the power button on the slim side; instead, it took advantage of the tablet battery’s wider frame and placed the key on the lower left side. Sure, it’s an unintuitive location, but at least it’s easy to find by feel.

The volume rocker, on the other hand, is slim enough to fit on the right edge of the tablet, and the micro USB power connection is also on the left. Other immediate impressions: The look of the aluminum and chrome design feels solid when polished. While this tablet doesn’t bear much resemblance to the Yoga Ultrabook, its clean, solid build provides some continuity. The back has a subtle laser-etched pattern, the same one seen on the Vibe X smartphone and S5000 tablet that Lenovo unveiled at IFA. Of course, the bracket is also on the back side. To loosen it, wedge your nail into a small groove. But I’ll save you the trouble of breaking the nails and let you in on this little secret: You can also extend the stand by grabbing the cylinder from the bottom and pulling it toward you. Easier, although it’s not an obvious choice .

After you pull the stand out of the folded position, you can use the tablet in stand mode. This is especially useful for watching movies on your tablet or following recipes in the kitchen. That said, if the Yoga Tablet’s screen is actually large enough to watch movies, stand mode would be better. (Head to the next section for our full coverage.) You can also extend the display back from this upright position, but don’t bother: Move it more than a few degrees and it’ll fall back. This design quirk seems like something Lenovo can and should address.

The Yoga Tablet comes with a 5 MP camera on the back and a 1.6 MP camera on the front. Image quality is average, as you’d expect from most tablets, but the bigger issue is the placement of the front-facing camera to the left of the display when you hold the tablet in landscape mode. If you’re taking a selfie or getting ready for a video call, you have to focus so you don’t look like you’re staring into the distance. It is unnatural to look to the left, especially This can be annoying when you’re trying to see something or someone on the screen and staring at the camera at the same time. Meanwhile, the rear camera placement isn’t any better. It’s in the lower right corner of the back of the tablet, so unless you raise the tablet a few inches, your framing will be terrible.

Powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core MT8215/8389 processor, backed by 1GB of RAM, the Yoga tablet can’t compete with the big boys. Devices powered by Snapdragon chips, such as the LG G Pad 8.3 and its 600 chip, put Lenovo well ahead. In fact, when it comes to benchmark scores, the Yoga Tablet falls far behind. In day-to-day use, the tablet also proved to be quite slow. It’s simply not up to the task of playing intense racing games , and it doesn’t load web pages quickly even on a good connection.

Lenovo rates the Yoga Tablet at up to 18 hours of use, and the Tablet 8 managed a very strong 10 hours and 8 minutes on our more intensive video-running test. The 10-inch version has an equally impressive runtime of 9 hours and 44 minutes. Both scores were achieved with a looped video playing on the device, WiFi on, and screen brightness set to 50%. With more moderate use, you can easily get more than a day of use without needing to charge. Needless to say, the Yoga Tablet offers very good Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 battery life, which is one of the best aspects of the product. “Wait, this is Android, right?”

That was my thought process when I booted up the Yoga Tablet. Yes, the reassuring Play Store app and other Google equivalents are here, but Lenovo has heavily tweaked the way Jelly Bean is presented here. For one, there’s no app tray, so you have to swipe left or right to see your installed programs. At the same time, the apps themselves look big and fancy. These include AccuWeather, Kingsoft Office, and shortcuts to download and install Norton Mobile Security.

Configuration options and competition

You don’t have to parse through the Yoga Tablet’s many configurations; your choices are just the $249 8-inch model or the $299 10-inch model with 16GB of built-in storage, or the same two models with 32GB for $269 and $309 respectively. Apart from the screen size, the specifications of both devices are identical. You can add a Bluetooth keyboard cover for an additional $70 (10-inch version only).

On paper, Lenovo’s convertible tablet seems like a good deal. You can get a well-built, versatile design for less than $300. However, comparing the specifications of other tablets on the market, the Yoga Tablet doesn’t look that cheap. For example, the 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX, priced at $229 and up, offers a far superior 1,920 x 1,200 display and more than 10 hours of   Lenovo’s tablet battery life. If 7 inches is a bit small for you, check out the 8.9- inch version , though it’ll set you back at least $379, depending on your tolerance for special offers.

In addition to the 10-inch, LG’s 8.3-inch G Pad is a great option, too, with a beautiful display and attractive design. If you prefer a 10-inch tablet, you’ll find the Yoga to be one of the cheaper options, like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 , which sells for $550. Of course, there’s also the $399 Nexus 10 , but a new version of that Google tablet is said to be coming soon, so you might regret it if you choose not to wait
