Today Lenovo is releasing the latest version of its flexible tablet, the Yoga 3 Pro, as well as updated versions of its Yoga 2 and 2 Pro, all brought to you in part by "product engineer" Ashton Kutcher.
Lenovo also added two new USB ports, one of which allows the tablet to be used as external storage by smartphones. The tablet will be available for both Windows and Android in 8- and 10-inch sizes.
Both the 10-inch and 8-inch for Android will be available starting Oct. 9 and be priced at at $299.99 and $249.99, respectively.
The 10-inch Windows model, which starts at $399.99, won't become available until later in October at Best Buy. The 8-inch model begins pricing at $299.99 and hits lenovo.com in November.
The Yoga 2 Pro
Lenovo is zeroing in on the media experience with this latest model. To start, the tablet has a slightly larger 13-inch hi-res (2560x1440) HD screen. But what's most compelling about the new Yoga 2 Pro is its built-in Pico projector, which lets users turn blank walls into movie screens. It also comes equipped with an 8-watt sound system and subwoofer.
The tablet, which has an 18-hour battery life, can only stream video for 3 hours before it needs to plug in. Still that should be enough to get you through most feature-length films.
The Yoga 2 Pro starts at $499.99 and will be available beginning at the end of October on www.lenovo.com.
