Here is an overview of the tablet from the company Lenovo, which stands an unusual hybrid format, huge 13 “screen and built-in projector. Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro – met!

In 2013, Lenovo launched the sale of the first tablet with a unique design, it differs from all members of the market by the presence of a special stand that lets you use the tablet in different configurations for different usage models. In October 2014 saw the light of the representative of the entire line flagship, the largest and most tricked – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro.

Options

Supplied Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro pleasantly surprised. In addition to the tablet, in the box you will find a power adapter, USB cable, headphones, JBL, and microfibre cloth to clean the screen.

Design Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

The range of Yoga, of course, is a breath of fresh air in the tablet market in terms of design. The presence of unique coasters highlights this tablet among others. Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro has a nice shape, looks nice, strictly, accurately and original.

Let’s start with the main constructive chips Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro – stand. Firstly, it allows you to use your tablet in four different positions – a book, a keyboard, and a picture of the console. Secondly, the design has a unique set of the battery cradle, thereby reducing the thickness of the tablet shell. And thirdly, in the thickening complete hiding projector that is capable of outputting image size of 50 “to the wall or any other surface, preferably white.

Large front panel Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is conventionally divided into two parts. The top, with black frame and silver trim, along a front camera with a light sensor and a screen that covered by the protective glass. Keys is not here, they traditionally tablet Lenovo, onscreen. At the bottom of the sides are the front stereo speaker from JBL, and the center is a metal adjustable stand.

The right side has contained a microphone, as well as one of the main chip devices – projector, next is a button that turns it on. Located on the left side volume rocker, microUSB input, headphone jack, and a round lock button, which is located in the stand, around her, by the way, is the LED.

The back cover Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro has a pleasant texture to the touch, which gives the impression of a seemingly resistant to scratches, looks attractive. Located in the center of the logo Lenovo, aside from it is a label that says that this tablet is set processor Intel. From bottom in the convex region is located built-in subwoofer, camera lens, as well as a button that lets you tilt the stand in this area can be found covered with a lid slot for memory card. In the lower left-hand corner are the focus of the projector.

Looking at the complex structure Yoga Tablet Lenovo engineers would like to applaud for the wonderful assembly. The tablet does not flex or creaks, it is assembled with high quality and it felt good.

Ergonomics

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro differs from 99% of tablets because of the three parameters – the cylindrical region below, 13 “screen, and the weight of 950 grams. All this is not very good effect on the portable device. Although its characteristics it can be called relatively compact, but in comparison to the plates with smaller diagonals, Yoga Tablet looks giant, after which the 10 “tablet look just tiny.

Because of its size, this tablet is not suitable for everyone and not for all kinds of tasks it will be convenient. Play it uncomfortable, print, despite such a large screen size, too. A lot of fun here gives reading, browsing and watching videos on such a large screen to do it comfortably. By purchasing this tablet, you should know that for convenient use next should be relatively much space. So you can not think about how to use it on the subway or in a lecture where on the table are still pens, notebooks, etc.

Display Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Screen Tablet Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is really pleasing to the eye, not only a large screen and high resolution, and excellent color reproduction. The display is moderately rich, natural color, and the picture itself quite clearly. Not very well, perhaps, a representation of black, here it goes gray tones.

Oleophobic coating is very high quality, prints and stains are going not too happy, but if they are still there, for their removal does not have to exert much effort. Viewing angles are not ideal, but at a decent level, the picture is slightly distorted only with a strong slope. Stock average brightness of the device, the winter sun it will not be a big obstacle, but here in the summer on the street is likely to work with the tablet is not very convenient. Interesting, but not quite clear feature is the opportunity to work with the tablet in gloves.

When working with Yoga Tablet, I found two things that I am concerned. The first is that under strong pressure display can go in waves at the edges, and the second is in the sensor, the fact that he sometimes “forgets” to recognize depression, especially if they are going to turn.

All simple program Yoga works smartly and smoothly, etc. With the system elements (opening CO, curtains parameters) sometimes have problems with speed and smoothness. In heavy graphics games offered for low or average in Dead Trigger 2, all works quickly, Asphalt 8 podlagivaet, Real Racing 3 is no problem, but with terrible graphics.

Overall performance is good, but sometimes stumbles tablet, sometimes where from him did not expect.

Autonomy Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Nearly 10,000 mAh is not a joke, but do not expect there some transcendent figures of autonomy, yet there is something to use as much battery capacity. When mixed load tablet will last about a day at a moderate 2-3 days. Hours screen is approximately 4-5 hours. If you use the projector, then the index will be a little less.

Built-in power manager allows a little creative with power to get the best indicators of autonomy.

13-inch tablet, this is probably the most strange device that can take pictures. Despite this, Lenovo has equipped the Yoga Tablet relatively good rear camera. For easy creation of self tablet can be put in console mode, so that during the shooting did not hold on almost kilogram weight of the device. The quality of images on frontalku acceptable, but the movement is easy to lose the detail photos.

Application

Brand application “camera” has a very good position and easy operation. To easily create photo can turn the grid and the level of the horizon. To adjust the recording, you can choose from a number of subjects, manually configure the basic picture settings, white balance, etc.

Sound

Here at this point the full beauty – here you and the front stereo speakers, and a subwoofer from JBl 5W and audio technology Dolby Audio, and Wolfson Master Hi-Fi. Full stuffing, as they say. Sound quality, and a decent amount of depth, an adequate supply of volume and rich sound settings – it all fit in the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro.

Separately, I want to tell you about one of the main pieces of the tablet – the projector. As happens in the world of IT, hybrid devices do not always get enough quality, but it can not be said about the hero of our review. The combination of the projector and the tablet turned out really good and useful.

Personally, I almost always watch movies on the laptop, the TV in my room there, and buy a separate projector is not an option. Built-in Yoga Tablet projector has become a very elegant solution – not only that it works longer than conventional portable projectors, so still no noise and is not heated.

In good, for the projection of images onto a wall, you need to put the tablet to “Keyboard”, but due to the nature of the room I could not do that, so I decided to do more interesting. Leaning on a pillow plate, I turned on the projector and the image sent directly to the ceiling. It really looks spectacular when you’re lying on the bed, and on you 50-inch screen, the resolution of the image in this case is 854 x 480.

First of all, I am struck by an updated interface shell from Lenovo – System refreshed, became nicer and a little iOS-like. There is a duality, because sometimes there are beautiful, original icons and sometimes srisovku elements almost 1 to 1 with iOS. Why? I do not know, it does no credit to the designers Lenovo. Do not argue, nice app, but if the user wanted to see iOS, it probably would have bought the iPad, and Android tablet still want to see the applications that are made according to the guideline Google.

Standard launcher, again, pays tribute to iOS, because there is no application menu, all programs and folders scattered on desktops. Launcher, by the way, has a large number of settings, from gestures to intellectual classification icons. Notifications and fast rasbrosany parameters on two different panels that are located above and below, respectively.

Upset that the developers shell is not very much taken care of in order to effectively use a large screen size. Of course, there is a multi-window mode (supports up to 4 applications at the same time), there is even a mode window in the window. The problem is that all of these chips only support 6 standard applications.

To adjust the picture and sound are a special smart panel, depending on the mode you use, it adjusts the color balance and sound mode.

In terms of the stability of the shell shows itself on the positive side, all the time departures applications I did not have, only once has failed desktop, refusing to scroll, the problem was solved reboot.

Accessories

Especially for the hero of our review Lenovo released corporate cover envelope. It has pretty colors, made with high quality and comfortable to hold. Cover cover on the magnet. On the sides are made cutouts for the lock button and the projector. Conveniently, but not always reliable, for example, when the tablet is in a bag with other items I would like to projector is fully protected. Included with the cover are a nice bonus – the film on the display and another cloth to wipe the screen.

Results

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro to get the device, where all the attention is focused on the main feature. Large 13″ screen displays high-quality and nice looking picture, stereo speakers crammed with a variety of technologies and work in pairs subwoofer JBL, so that the sound here is excellent, the projector does its job perfectly. In general, all “kilerfichi” work as expected. But not the best optimization software under iron resulted in some problems with performance and smoothness. The shell uses the most mediocre diagonal screen, offering a minimum set of tools for multi-tasking. Standalone device leaves much to be desired, add an hour or two or three of the screen and would have no problems, but 4-6, in my opinion, is not enough.

Tablet 2 Pro – a niche ultimate-device, where all the maximum, but not everyone in this very maximum needs. With its use of this tablet, I would have enjoyed watching movies on it, the task it copes perfectly well. If someone is thinking about this device as a substitute for a laptop, it is not serious, the tablet can not cope with this role. I can not recommend this tablet to the people who often consume media and agree to put up with the large dimensions of the device.

The post Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro review appeared first on Raqwe.

“Innovation, innovation!” – shouted in the courtroom Chinese employees of the company, tapping to the beat of the folders on the table. Ashton not stand to aggravate the situation, went into the next room, which has a focus group. Sank wearily into a chair, he torsion cap with the logo of the company’s visor back, smiled, and waved to everyone who gasped and started taking pictures of the most famous creative director of a technology company. The depth of breath, Ashton began his spitch: “Speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about what you like and dislike in the plate. I am strong, I stand. “All held their breath for a moment, and then began to brainstorm. And so was born Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro – a stupid name, a hole in his leg and cool device a projector.

Device in a series of 2-in-1 and flood the market space. But most often when talking about 2-in-1, we envision a laptop or a tablet + tablet + smartphone, thanks to the company ASUS. But for some reason no one has suggested that “two in one” may be a tablet and a projector. After all, Lenovo has turned out! And turned out quite well. Nobody nowhere sticks, does not bend, do not rumbles, and the device did not work so cumbersome that all laughed at him.

Design and ergonomics – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

In addition, the tablet, Lenovo will look strange, we prepared last year. They are very nice on the background of flat plates, because as it anyway, handle – still a good thing! With the help of the tablet is easy to hold in your hand, if you do not mind a diagonal of 13.3 inches. And tell the truth, unless you could any other flat tablet to keep one hand? Could, but it is inconvenient. And then grip hoo! But still has to happen, so the meet – a hole in the aluminum leg.

According to the developers, it immediately to the three existing asanas add a fourth – the picture. This is when the plate hangs on a hook, and so you look. Profitable, though in the kitchen, but obzorschikov agreed that the best way to hang it on a hook for towels in the bathroom (read – the toilet). Just out of the shower do not water – water from the gadget is not protected.

The rest of the design is already familiar to us. The entire front panel holds a 13.3-inch display, under which there are only a couple of excellent speakers, and above it, in relative rather narrow framework, hid eye fontalnoy camera 2.2 MP, light sensors and light events. On the cover plate is located centrally sabvfuer, main camera of 8 MP and a button to open the stand. Under the cap hid a slot for microSD cards up to 64 GB and a slot for optional microSIM. In our variation it is not active, because the support plate, without LTE. But most importantly, and this option also exists technology. And a small slider to adjust the focus the image from the projector.

Are located on the right side volume control wheel, microUSB connector and audio port. Digging inclusion here, but in the handle. This time, she illuminated, there is no headphone jack, she sinks and no backlash. Attention to detail! On the right side of the projector itself has a handle, a mechanical button with a notch to turn it on and a microphone.

Assembled Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro soundly. No backlash, no squeaks, does not bend. We can not say that it is different special grace – 333 x 223 mm with a thickness of rolling down from 3.7 to 12.6 mm and weighing 950 grams. But it is a huge 13-inch planshetina the projector! Nobody expected that it will be an elegant piece of fluff. Therefore, it is unlikely you unless absolutely necessary it outside the apartment for a picnic or hike. Too cumbersome.

Display – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Large and very best! 13.3 inches with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 QHD points and a density of 220 ppi with the recognition of 10 touches. Very saturated colors. Not so, like Sony, – fabulously rich, and it is wrong, looks delicious. But if it’s overkill for you, go to Settings, where you can choose three types of images: rich, ordinary book. For the latter, the white color slightly yellow. This adaptability makes reading easier on the eyes.

The angle at which to look at this picture no, inversion or burnout is not particularly observed. Good quality IPS-display with uniform. By the way, the brightness of cloudy days is more than enough, the lowest comfortable. But the maximum is hardly likely to appeal on sunny days. For some reason I think that it may not be enough if you want to work on the balcony, for example. But personally test could not be performed. Oleophobic coating is present, so that even fingerprints remain, but the board for slicing sausage plate not like.

Bright, saturation, contrast, and with good resolution. In another, you can add a plus sign in the management of gloves, but that’s a plus, without practical application. It is unlikely that you will want to pull it out of the backpack in the cold to anything. Leaves the best impression. When I put on a headband brand image with macaroon, came running to see – looks very appetizing. So movie will look not only at the projector, but at a more pleasant display. And he can fully replace a working laptop, if you only work with the Internet and texts. Virtual keyboard – one of the best. So while all two monitors to one computer, I have a couple of days had a laptop and a tablet, with one text, after the other – the second part of the immense.

Sound – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

The point to which I do not find fault. Not sure what this all credit goes solely Lenovo. Maybe it’s the fact that my ASUS Zenbook with the volume and sound quality issues. On the other hand, the tablet is equipped with acoustic technology and Dolby Audio Wolfson Master HiFi, including two tweeters with 8-watt subwoofer and JBL. The second is located on the lid of the unit and the speakers – on the sides below the display, creating a good stereo. In a small apartment for view sound is enough.

And if you live in a mansion or on your VIP cinema show gathered a whole horde have to connect the speakers. For those who like to turn the sound settings, find the app Dolby, where runners can to drag on your own.

By the way, the set includes also a gag from JBL.

Projector – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

I love the movie, but I do not like movie theaters. Because people generally do not know about the culture of the public viewing movies and behave ugly. Huh, said. So when in the office appeared Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, I snatched it from his hands grasping and went all night long to arrange a private cinema. And no one ear not crunched – bliss!

The projector is in the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro – is a step in the direction of innovations from all those mossy reps and stretches that are now fed us equipment manufacturers. Pico projector located in the handle of the tablet. In order to display an image on a screen or wall, you need to install the plate in a horizontal position of the “keyboard” and hold the button on the right side of the curtain or pull menu “Projector”. In the first few times you will notice displayed on turning the projector. Type anything on the screen, projected for all to see. To control the size of the image plate must be moved closer, farther from the screen. And for a special focus adjustment slider on the “knee” of the tube. Do not forget to turn off the lights!

How do I picture quality? Yeah, fucking awesome! The maximum that you can afford a good quality – is 50 inches. 50-inch bright enough picture on your wall in a resolution of 854 by 480 pixels. Not a movie theater, but also very, very cool. And given the fact that this is only a sample of the pen, can you imagine what developers can achieve Lenovo in future generations? I obtained from the maximum. With this tablet in hand, I want to lock up the house to settle in their friends, and day and night to watch and serials. Excellent, by the way, the plan for the New Year.

Camera – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Thank you to the people who told the engineers that the main camera on the end of a pivot joint – it’s uncomfortable. In the survey Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Shreds very lucidly explained why these cameras all bad, so I will not repeat. In this instance, it decided to place at the bottom of exactly centered. This can be seen more convenient. Whether it is still quite in the middle at the top, all she would have had no price. 8 MP autofocus camera with good. But the fact that this huge contraption pound is not very convenient to take pictures. Home photos of seals and friends during the pajama party, flowers and all that … In our case this photograph office everyday life, but the whole gallery. And a couple of self. Because the front camera of 2.2 MP and got fixed autofocus. Photo I do not really like, but for video – very good.

Technical characteristics – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

And this is the only item that I, unlike test Antutu, was not impressed. I would say, not much impressed. Quad-core Intel Atom Z3745 with a frequency of 1.86 GHz. 22-nanometer process technology, the family of Bay Trail-T – like all sounds quite tasty. And Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 on Android this is enough for smooth operation. But neither the 2 GB of RAM, or Intel HD Graphics, nor all together did not allow the tablet to become a well-bleed the handsome with smooth graphics. Perhaps you: 8 cars in Asphalt somehow fit into the crooked turns. And the program fell. To bring the game to the wall using the projector does not normally happen. In conventional problems this delay notice only. If you are not one of those calm your nerves and kept the extra two seconds of waiting, you’ll like it.

Memory device 32 GB. If your entire movie that is not enough, there is a slot for microSD up to 64 GB.

Platform & shell – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Powered device running Android 4.4, an upgrade to Lollipop promise, but the exact date is unknown. Installed on top of a proprietary shell Lenovo Launcher. We are already well familiar with it because of me (I just hear you with gratitude applodiruete me. Stop it, you embarrass me) and now this material. Therefore, you will not be a novelty that all of it is similar to the iOS. And she does not have the application menu, and all scattered on the desktop.

In this version of firmware developers have gone even further and when downloading applications from the Play Market offer immediately place it in a specific folder! Not to arrange from desktops and teach all the trash to the structuring of the whole. As for the rest: the major labels million flip animations, screensavers, juicy, the camera can be accessed from the home screen – yes all the “OK” with the launcher.

Autonomy – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Impressive! Although this is the first impression for those few days, I have it lived. About 12 hours spent in tablet mode, surf Internet, and a couple of hours in the demonstration of the film on the projector. That is one film on the wall and a little bit more in the mode of browsing books with minimum brightness. So if you’re going to filmNIGHT, consider the location of yoga so that you can connect the tablet to a wall outlet.

Output – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

Frankly, the idea is cool. The implementation is very good. But whether it every second? Unlikely. Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro – certainly good, but a niche product. For those who already have everything, and I want something of such things. Because it is only a home or office device – depending on where you no longer need a projector. It only with a business trip can take, instead of laptop and projector for presentations. This is if you do not trust anyone, and all their carry any with him. Lenovo’s enthusiasm is commendable, really deserves respect the fact that in the year when producers do not hurry with the experiments and state the fact cooling of interest in tablets, they tear pattern perception tablets releasing additional use case. And it all seems to be good. In addition to perpetual stumbling block – the price.

That’s how much you’re willing to pay for this miracle device? Which is better in such hands do – a little dig and buy tablet norms and standards of the projector or buy cool Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro – I honestly do not know. But I like it, I would not refuse him, that’s for sure.
