hey I'm Nate with CNN and today we're checking out the Lenovo yoga tablet 2 with Windows now this is a 10-inch tablet with a pretty nice screen a quirky design the 2 to dwell and a bundled Bluetooth keyboard dock all for a starting price of 369 99 now it isn't perfect but if you don't want to show off for a surface pro 3 and they're curious about that hybrid laptop tablet design this inexpensive little gadget could fit the bill now let's start with the tablet the tenant's display has in 1920 by 1200 pixel resolution and it's powered by a quad-core Intel Atom processor coupled with 2 gigs of RAM it'll tackle streaming HD video and I spent some quality time with tablet friendly games like halo Spartan assault no complaints there but don't expect miracles and this hardware isn't going to be able to stand up to demanding software tasks like heavy photo editing and the like there's only 32 gigs of storage but you can add a 64 gig microSD card for a bit more room the tablet also has this quirky fold-out hint that spins out from the cylinder running along the base you can use it to prop the screen up at different angles there's also a hole for a hook so you can hang your tablet somewhere I have no idea why you'd want to hang your tablet but it doesn't detract from the experience so why not the pair of speakers sound fairly good and their front facing which is awesome you don't need to worry about blocking the audio while you're holding the thing or having it propped up the noble claims you'll see up to 15 hours of battery life - now unlike Microsoft Surface 4-3 the keyboard is bundled so you don't need to worry about paying extra and we know what makes great keyboards this one connects via bluetooth and it's really thin but the keys still offer just enough travel distance so when you press them typing feels comfortable the keys are really spacious to my hands personally is still a little too big for it but even so I had a good time now there's a touchpad here and while I generally prefer to use this touchscreen instead it's definitely serviceable if you've got a tablet and a keyboard but they're separated and here's where things fall apart the keyboard connects the tablet by way of these really weak magnets on the lip here now it's obvious based at how top-heavy this is that you shouldn't grab it by the keyboard but I'm still tempted to grab it by the screen and the keyboard weight is enough for it to just flop right off it's also supposed to double as a cover for those weak magnet strike again it's always kind of sliding about it just makes me lose into the whole thing now this isn't a deal breaker we've got an inexpensive tablet that performs fairly well and it's bundle with a keyboard that's pretty great too had there been some way to lock the keyboard to the tab it securely so I'm not too terrified when I'm carrying the thing around this would have been a winning budget by as it stands it's a great device with a really annoying flaw but maybe you'll get over it I'm Nate Ralph be sure to read my full review on CNN thanks for watching
