The Yoga Tablet 2 is an 8-inch slate running Windows 8.1 with an HD (1920 x 1080) IPS screen. It has an Intel Atom quad-core processor (1.86 GHz), 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. It weighs in at 0.94 pounds and dimensions of 8.3 x 5.9 x 0.1 inches. It features battery life of 15 hours.
The new Yoga has a strange feature not seen on any other tablet. The AnyPen Technology, as Lenovo calls it, allows writing on the screen. The strange part is that the technology doesn’t work with a typical stylus, you must use a traditional pencil or ballpoint pen for the conductive display to register.
If it sounds odd that you must mark on the screen to get digital input, you’re not alone. Lenovo claims this is more precise and thus better than using your finger to write on the display.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 will be available in January 2015 starting at $299.
