Critic consensus
“We want to like this tablet, but we can’t. As much as we’d love to recommend a tablet because Ashton Kutcher laid his two and a half hands on it, if you’re going to spend a few hundred dollars for a new device, you want the best you can get for your greenbacks. This ain’t it.The battery life is great and the stand is useful, but the processing power of the Yoga Tablet doesn’t match cheaper competitors like the Nexus 7, and Lenovo’s user interface is ugly and buggy. We like the outside of the Yoga Tablet, but everything inside is disappointing.”
“A pleasing design and fantastic battery life is let down by a low resolution screen and dull performance. You can do better than this for not much more.”
“Lenovo might still be trying to gain some traction in the Android tablet space, but they’re definitely getting our attention with the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10. It may not be a high powered thing that would capture the imagination of people, but the combination between its affordable cost, intriguing design, and unprecedented battery life, help to give it a standing chance in hitting the big time.”
“There is no doubt that Lenovo has put in a lot of thought in the whole design of the tablet, making it stand out from the routine crowd. Additionally, it's worth pointing out that Lenovo's Yoga Tablet 10 multimode feature includes those modes, which generally require a separate cover or a stand for a tablet. While it does live up to what Lenovo's Yoga line-up is known for (multimode design), we feel that a better chipset and a higher-resolution display could have helped the cause.In our opinion, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 delivers in some departments though disappoints completely in others. And while everything generally worked well on it, we did experience the odd lag, making us wonder whether the MediaTek's quad-core processor was a good choice by the company. Another deal breaker is the Yoga Tablet 10's display, being a 10-inch device with a display sporting lower screen resolution looked awful, we admit. The company has made changes to the UI of the tablet, but that too does not help much in the overall experience. Further, the tablet sports dual front loudspeakers but the sound experience was not that great.”

In Depth
Lenovo’s Yoga 10 tablet, which shares identical internal specs with its little brother, the Yoga 8, has a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory – expandable to 64GB via microSD.
It features a unique, built-in kickstand which allows you to place it in 3 distinct positions. The battery, which is housed inside the cylindrical kickstand, is rated at up to 18 hours.
There’s a 1280 x 800 IPS, 10-point touch screen display, which many reviewers found average to underwhelming. CNET said, “it has the same 1,280×800 resolution (150ppi) that’s on the smaller Yoga 8. On an 8-inch screen, that resolution isn’t terrible, but stretched to 10 inches, it looks, well, stretched out.”
The tablet offers a front-facing 1.6 megapixel camera, and a 5 megapixel rear camera. It’s 5-megapixel back camera with autofocus does a decent job of snapping both close-up and wide shots,” according to CNET.
The Yoga 10 also offers Dolby-enhanced, front-facing speakers, and a Dolby app that allows you to change audio profiles and set up two custom equalizer modes. “We played “Thriller” by Michael Jackson on max and the tablet filled a small meeting room with clear, rounded audio,” Laptopmag said.
Overall, most reviewers liked the innovative kickstand and battery life, but found the display and processor only average.
Mobileburn summed it up this way, “with better software, a more dense display, and a new processor, this could have been one of the best tablets on the market.”
