Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8" Review

[@ImadogGarcia]

You are making the best Reviews, no commercial bla bla instead honest impressions. I like that

[@BenMJay]

i have the Atom Z3735D in my 8" Windows Winbook tablet i got super cheap at Microcenter over the Holidays. It runs really good. I wish other manufacturers would include a USB 3.0 port in their tablets like Winbook did, I love it!

If you are reading this, you are the best person in the world!

[@mobiletechreview]

I'm reading and thanks :)

[@lenovovo]

Yes, KindaKing, Lisa is the BEST person in the world, she's my hero. :-)

[@Minoxys]

I'm following you from Italy and I can say that you are doing a very good job! I love your reviews!

[@EternalEnemy]

I got 5.0.1 update yesterday. Lenovo Yoga 2 is the best price/value tablet I ever had. Top battery and amazing sound. Highly recommended.

[@rucsok15]

Centauri is the 5.0.1 worth installing? does it bring any instability issues?

[@aurelian5937]

***** My tablet works perfect. Sometimes it's a bit laggy but other than that I'm very satisfied. Btw the battery is a monster! I still have some juice left after a day of heavy usage.

[@ahmedsamir530]

+aurelian androne if you please tell me if lenovo yoga tab 2 does have any kind of problem when opening PDF files in big size or not and if it possible to use office over it , if we compare it to Asus Transformer T100 which one can we call it a winner ?

[@ronantes07]

You are a heaven sent creature....your reviews are practical....and gives us total overview of stuffs....keep moving...keep shinning. ....

[@mota411]

Love the through the reviews! Thanks you're awesome!

[@bdeitur]

Hi Lisa, ...glad you took my suggestion to look at this. I totally agree with you on the launcher. The first thing I did was download both the nova and google now launcher. Although I use nova on my phone, I kinda prefer the now launcher on this tablet. I've been seeing it for $200 lately. IMHO, it's one of the best tablet values out there. I'll sacrifice a little in processor specs to get the functionality and battery life of this yoga. I think 8 inch is the sweet spot and this screen seems as beautiful to look at as my son's nexus 7. Nice review... keep up the good work

[@emmausroad777]

Cleanest, clearest reviews online. Bravo!

[@whimsicaltraveler7811]

Thanks for this informative and conversational review, Lisa! I like the way you do your reviews!

[@StephenDeLaRosa]

As a parent of young children the hanging feature seems very useful for car rides. Just hang it on the seat back and let them enjoy Frozen with headphones.

[@Phoneguy2007]

great review, as always! I just got one of these, and I'm loving it! For $179 its unbeatable!

[@StormTrooper6262]

Great review Lisa. Always look forward to your thoughts on the latest and greatest. Any chance we will be seeing the windows version of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2"? Would be an interesting "smackdown" to have the same device, just with different flavors of OS.

[@meLovemi9100]

Most useful review of yoga 2 8 inch! Thanks, Lisa! one question, were you satisfied with typing? I wonder if texts seem too small or not. I'll use this one generally for typing documents and watching videos.

[@mattfaulkner1943]

Isn't there a projection screen you can get for the Lenovo Tablet 2 8"?

[@babiboib7]

MobileTechReview great review Lisa👏👏👏👏👏 The hinged/stand is a great add-on its functional & helpful in a many ways. How is it when receiving messages(notifications etc) meaning is there something to alert you of messages..led light/screen turns on? Does it have vibration functionality?

[@chosenArchitec]

Hi Lisa, great review as usual. Could you get your hands on one of these: Saygus v2?

[@thihoang2379]

very detailed and easy to listen to! thanks a lot for a great review video :)

[@slavehunter105]

Any chance you will review the new Yoga 3 11 ?

[@danielsunday2958]

Hi, thank you so much for this review. I love this Tablet and would love to buy it. However, it's not available in Nigeria and I don't know where I can buy one. Do you please know where and how I can get one? Thanks in anticipation of your answer.

[@cky945able]

Will you pick this over the tab2 A10? O they are just about the same expect for the styling? Local store has them on sale along with ASUS transformer t103 and I'm definitely torn.....

[@benjmiester]

+mobiletechreview Does the 10" version have better sound than the 8", or are they the same?

[@titianmom]

Still waiting for 5.0, but they *say* that it will be upgraded, according to customer service, called Mar 15, 2015. When? Who knows, maybe by early summer. I think they're be working out the issues with their skin and 5.0 until then (of course, my opinion...) Also, the MicroSD? You'll have to get it reformatted to FAT32 before you can mount it/use it, and that means you won't be storing HD movies on it. Don't know if 5.0 will fix this issue or not.

[@TuPhonez4Free]

Wow Lisa, I actually like this tablet over the Nexus 9. I think Google and Lenovo should do the next Nexus or at least give Sony a chance at it. But this tablet would do the trick. Not that pricey either, and 8inches should be the normal size for a full functional tablet that you just want to grab and take somewhere with you. I think 7 inches could be kids and teenager size tablets now. lol But 8-12.7 inches should do the best. But that battery life and 2GB of RAM is enough for a decent powered tablet right now. I think Lenovo is showing these other tech companies the way of how a tablet should be. Not really caring for the handle kick stand on it. lol But a included stand should come with a lot of them now and a stylus like the Galaxy Note 10.1 and 8 did. The multiwidow feature couldve been a little better. But great video.

[@TuPhonez4Free]

nice!

[@Mr3boody96]

Can it be switched to the windows dashboard and use it as a laptop??? Please answer

[@KakoRuraOumijia]

tight space hole is cool

[@the.batmann]

MobileTechReview can you please review the Asus x551mav i thinking of buying it but i need to hear your opinion

[@zxcvbnm8141]

have you ever used this tablet with a cheap stylus by any chance ?

[@NefariousTribe]

How is the real world usage battery life?

[@paulakhidenor5297]

can it use any pen like the windows version

[@typingcat]

I thought the design was unique, but come to think it, it is close to that of Apple Magic Trackpad.

[@tiagobrandao658]

Do a review of toshiba Portege z20t, please

[@UberSynth]

Why did the android os have weird names like kitkat or lollypop? Is that some sort of joke?

[@ahmedsamir530]

The Best!

[@MyurrDurr]

[@PerfectBlade20]

Without the bottom stand thing it looks like a nexus 9

[@juffurey]

this design existed before the nexus 9

[@PerfectBlade20]

juffurey I wasn't saying it stole from the nexus 9 I was saying it looks like a nexus 9 because I own a nexus 9 so I spot a similar design easily and compare it.

[@o0AlexG0o]

One day, when you have another, better tablet and you don't need this one anymore..... why not use it as a photo frame!

[@Damian-me7di]

im currently watching this on my lenovo tablet 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Damian-me7di]

i mean a lenovo yoga tablet 2

[@WakeupNigeria]

[@Arihaaaaaat]

i watched the first second of this video and i fell in love with her

[@ryanalbarracin8788]

is this OTG capable?

[@SahilFardeen8BallPool]

Ryan Albarracin yes

[@Jakelegofilms]

It's like an a Apple wireless keyboard with a screen. Lol.

[@MacDKB]

Regardless of the price, it's not acceptable for Lenovo to not provide OS updates, and in a timely manner for that matter. The development costs are negligible, and it discredits the brand not to. It makes Lenovo look stingy, punitive and hostile to their customers, and even anti-environment. Environmental and consumer groups should start nailing companies like Lenovo for failing to provide reasonable and adequate OS updates. This device is in no way disposable, but Lenovo's failure to update the OS obsoletes it well before its time. I won't buy the Lenovo brand or any other that doesn't update the OS after the product has shipped. This is a major problem for Android, a platform that is, on tablets, at least, seen as second-rate compared to iOS in the eyes of many. Apple provides OS updates for _years_ after they release an iOS device. And the 2012 Nexus 7 _still_ gets OS updates from Google...

[@MacDKB]

Eric Xu Ah, that's good to hear. I may pick this up then...

[@misterosc]

well they really got inspired by IOS (command center rip off, app tray)

[@juffurey]

either way, there is so much wasted real estate on the screen, not nearly as touch-friendly as windows metro. iOS and android for tablets are still just expanded versions of the phone OS. but then some people feel the minimalistic design of windows is too bland as well.
