That’s a solid but not quite mind-blowing spec sheet

In case you’re wondering what could have made these objectively great specifications even greater in my eyes, the answer is pretty simple: a state-of-the-art Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. And perhaps a little extra cell capacity given that the Yoga Tab uses that fancy new silicon-carbon material meant to improve battery life compared to the traditional lithium-ion tech.
The display resolution, refresh rate, charging speeds, RAM count, storage space, and the cameras are all about as good as they could have possibly been at a recommended US price of 550 bucks, and if you don’t agree with me, you probably didn’t notice that the 11.1-inch slate comes bundled with a rapid charger, productivity-enhancing keyboard, and creativity-encouraging stylus at no additional cost.
Now that’s what I call a strong value proposition, although believe it or not, I think it might get even stronger soon.
The Yoga Tab Plus is better… and only slightly costlier right now
Yes, you can get quite a bit of extra screen real estate, four more gigs of memory, a significantly more powerful sound system, and the same awesome accessories included in a $599.99 price.
So should you buy the Lenovo Yoga Tab?
Make no mistake, the Yoga Tab looks decidedly premium at first glance, with a unibody metal construction and a razor-thin 6.2mm profile… that goes up to a little over 8mm at its thickest point (namely, around the camera bump).
Naturally, you don’t have to agree with me on that, but if you’ve owned as many affordable Lenovo tablets as I have (which is three or four in the last decade or so), you probably know that these products tend to be super-reliable, almost surprisingly convenient, and reasonably speedy.
