What customers like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8 Windows 8 1 WiFi (2GB + 32GB)

  • Innovative multi-mode design with a built-in kickstand that supports Hold, Tilt, Stand, and Hang modes.
  • Exceptional battery life, with real-world tests reaching over 11-12 hours, significantly outperforming many competitors.
  • Ergonomic cylindrical spine that makes the tablet comfortable to hold with one hand.
  • Bright and sharp 1,920-by-1,200 IPS display, offering higher resolution than many other 8-inch budget tablets.
  • AnyPen technology allows for the use of almost any metal object (like a ballpoint pen or pencil) as a stylus.
  • Front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby audio processing deliver better-than-average sound quality for its class.

What customers don't like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8 Windows 8 1 WiFi (2GB + 32GB)

  • Underwhelming performance from the Intel Atom processor, leading to occasional UI stuttering and lag during multitasking or app switching.
  • Very limited internal storage, with only about 19GB of the 32GB SSD available out of the box, making a microSD card essential.
  • The 8-inch screen can feel cramped for the full Windows 8.1 desktop experience, making small icons and text difficult to navigate without a stylus.
  • Minimal port selection, lacking a dedicated video output like HDMI (unlike the larger 10-inch or 13-inch models).
  • Lacks a dedicated keyboard accessory for the 8-inch model, which limits its utility as a productivity device compared to larger versions.
  • The 8-megapixel rear camera takes relatively dull and washed-out photos.

Verdict

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8-inch Windows edition is a versatile 8.1-powered device featuring a quad-core Intel Atom Z3745 processor (up to 1.86GHz), 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable eMMC storage. Its standout characteristic is the ergonomic cylindrical battery barrel with an integrated metal kickstand that supports four distinct usage modes: Hold, Tilt, Stand, and Hang. Key pros include its sharp 8-inch Full HD (1920 x 1200) IPS display, impressive battery life of up to 15 hours, and front-facing Dolby Audio speakers. However, notable cons include limited port selection (no full USB or HDMI-out), a desktop Windows experience that can feel cramped on a small 8-inch screen, and occasional performance stuttering during intensive multitasking.
