Chinese technology giant Lenovo has revealed its new Yoga tablet, a consumer-focused device with a unique kickstand and up to 18 hours of battery life.
The Yoga, which runs Google’s Android operating system, is a sturdy device made of a magnesium alloy. It sports a cylinder to one side that houses a built-in kickstand, allowing it to take multiple positions — the reason the tablet bears the “Yoga” moniker.
“What we wanted to do was change the fundamental way users interact with tablets,” said Chet Joshi, retail executive for Lenovo Canada, at a private media event in Toronto Tuesday evening.
“We’ve created a design that gives you a cylinder-type device that acts as a battery, but also gives you three different modes.”
