What customers don't like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10 Windows 8.1 WiFi (2GB + 32GB)

  • Heavy compared to standard tablets (approx. 619g), making it difficult to hold one-handed for long
  • Magnetic connection for the keyboard is weak, causing it to slide off easily
  • Awkward rear camera placement on the battery cylinder hinge
  • Limited multitasking performance due to 2GB of RAM and 32-bit Windows architecture
  • Capacitive Windows button can be inconsistently responsive
  • Slow charging times, especially when the device is in use

Verdict

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10-inch is a versatile Windows 8.1 device featuring a 10.1-inch Full HD (1920 x 1200) IPS display and a unique integrated metal kickstand supporting Hold, Tilt, Stand, and Hang modes. It is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3745 processor (up to 1.86 GHz) with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage, expandable via microSD. Main pros include its exceptional 9600 mAh battery offering up to 15 hours of use, powerful front-facing stereo speakers, and a bright, sharp display suitable for multimedia. However, cons include a relatively heavy 1.39-pound build, limited available storage after the OS installation, and occasional sluggishness when handling demanding desktop applications or intensive multitasking.
