this lenovo tablet has a great design but I wish I could say the same thing about its performance I'm xiomara Blanco frisina and this is a first look at the yoga tablet too if you saw last year's Android yoga tablets this new model will look familiar the 8-inch tablet dawns a sturdy aluminum frame with the chunky rounded spine on its bottom on the left side you'll find the microUSB port volume and power buttons and on the right there's a headphone jack the silver sign is home to the two front facing speakers and if you turn the tablet around you'll find the built-in kickstand to use it you simply pull it down by twisting at the spine it securely locks into a 90 degree angle but you can easily adjust it however you want the yoga tablet too can sit upright or be set down at a lower angle it looks a little funky but I really like the design the rounded spine makes it comfortable to grip in one hand and the built-in kickstand is undeniably useful it's also light at a little less than 1 pound and I found its size pretty portable unfortunately I'm less impressed with the rest it has to offer the Lenovo yoga tablet 2 runs Android 4.4 KitKat and houses a one point three gigahertz quad-core intel atom processor and 2 gigabytes of ram there's only 16 gigabytes of internal storage but thanks to the microSD card slot that's hidden behind the kickstand you can expand it up to 64 gigabytes the eight-inch touchscreen boasts a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution IPS display and it's bright and colorful enough but it disappoints in sharpness text doesn't look as crisp as it should especially for such a high resolution though it's still readable additionally the touchscreen is occasionally unresponsive or slow to recognize taps the yoga tablet too has a simple Android scan that doesn't have an app tray making finding specific apps a little tricky instead of one menu that displays all of your apps your app shortcuts are scattered among your home pages you can easily make folders to organize them but if you like to download a lot of apps you're going to have a lot of home pages there's an eight megapixel camera on the spine near the power button which takes decently sharp but washed out photos and a front-facing 1.6 megapixel one that produces similar quality selfies performance was fast and smooth for simple tasks but it's suffered from many performance hiccups like unresponsive screens app crashes and Wi-Fi connectivity issues these may all be addressed in future over-the-air updates but for now it makes it hard to recommend for the price you're better off looking at other small tablets for more details check out my full review on cnet once again I'm xiomara Blanco and this is going to first look at the Lenovo yoga tablet to
