Lenovo ups the game with the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+

Shortly after CES 2014 we offered up a review of the Yoga 8 and Yoga 10 tablets from Lenovo. They met and exceeded many of my expectations especially in the look, the feel and the performance department. They offered the many things that a lot of tablets currently on the market didn’t. One of the big wins in my opinion was the built-in kickstand with the dual front facing speakers. Being able to prop it up at will and watch a movie with ease and without needing a second accessory to tote around is great.

There was one disappointment in the Yoga 10, the screen resolution. The Yoga 10 offered the sameÂ 1280 x 800 resolution as the 8-inch variety. That resolution looks clean and pretty crisp on the Yoga 8, but it is clearly not enough for the Yoga 10. While movie viewing and basic time killing gaming is just fine, those used to high screen resolutions will immediately be irritated.

Lenovo took that to heart and made a number of changes in the new Yoga 10 HD+. Giving the tablet a much needed boost in a few departments that kept this wonder tablet design out of the hands of more people. The Yoga 10 HD+ Kicks up the screen resolution from the fore mentioned 1280 x 800 to 1920 x 1200. That alone makes me smile, but Lenovo kept pushing a little further. They moved the processor from the MediaTek, to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core at 1.6GHz.
