Lenovo Tablet

Lenovo really managed to take the cake at CES 2012 in terms of new product announcements (and there’s still plenty to talk about over the next couple of days), one of the most interesting novelties presented by the Chinese company being their IdeaPad YOGA convertible tablet, designed to run Microsoft’s forthcoming operating system, Windows 8.  Dubbed the “industry’s first multi-mode notebook with a 360 degree flip-and-fold design”, the YOGA convertible tablet/ultrabook from Lenovo actually has no less than four different... 

Lenovo brought quite a handful of surprises at CES 2012, and of the most interesting new products presented by the Chinese outfit is their  IdeaTab S2 10-inch tablet, set to run Android 4.0 and coming with an ASUS Transfomer-like keyboard dock accessory.  Quite obviously, the Lenovo S2 takes quite a bit after the Asus Transfomer in terms of accessories, since it’s accompanied by a dock featuring not only a keyboard, but also an extra battery and connectivity options. However, it’s by no means inferior to it, especially as far as external... 

Small tablets seem to be very popular these days and manufacturers are rushing to release products. Dell was the first, Samsung has released the Galaxy Note, and Lenovo is adding the final touches on the 5″ IdeaPad tablet. Too bad for Lenovo we have some leaked images to show it. Although we haven’t got the full spec sheet Lenovo has given the latest IdeaPad a 5″ display, a dual-core processor and the Android OS (probably Ice Cream Sandwich). Giving the OS, the usual WiFi, microSD card slot, Bluetooth, and high megapixel camera... 

There are a lot of cheap and cheerful tablets out there but the main problem is they’re all cheaply made by some no name cheap manufacturer. Bigger manufacturers have decided to enter the low-priced tablet market. One of them is Lenovo which introduced the IdeaPad A1 7″ tablet at IFA 2011. Not sure whether to go for a tablet? Is the $500 price tag of most tablets too much for you? Are the cheap Chinese ones too flimsy to even bother? Well the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 might be your first Android tablet that won’t cost you a fortune to... 

Lenovo took its time with the first Windows tablet. Soon enough we’ll see the IdeaPad P1 in stores and we’ll experience the power of a full operating system. What’s more important is that the specs will make the IdeaPad P1 Windows 8 compatible. Lenovo has stuffed a 1.5 GHz Intel processor, 2GB of RAM, 64GB SSD and all the other great features of a tablet: WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, optional 3G connectivity and a 2MP webcam. A microSD slot is available for extra storage and USB 2.0 will deliver the transfer speeds you really... 

We can only think of one good use of the FCC: show us products that haven’t been launched yet. Never mind the regulations and the ultra technical stuff. It’s the secrets we’re after… And this week we have a Lenovo tablet to study and admire. Dubbed ”Skylight”, the tablet was originally named LeTablet (very French indeed), but for the US market Lenovo isn’t going to sell their product under that name. The tablet sports a 10.1-inch display with 1280×800 screen resolution, a 1.3 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 8650A...
