Bulky and underpowered, but multitasking and projector gimmick get our attention. Twice this year, we at Ars declared that Lenovo was onto something with its Yoga Pro laptop line, offering conditional praise for both the Yoga 2 and Yoga 3 flavors of that ultra-thin, reasonably powered, fold-and-bend model. However, at starting prices at or over $1,000, they didn't necessarily feel powerful enough to deplete someone's gizmo budget just because users wanted a 13-inch touchscreen.

Someone at Lenovo must have agreed, as the company has found a way to get that giant touchscreen onto a more reasonably priced device. If the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro had been nothing more than a 13.3-inch Android tablet with an Intel Atom chipset and 2GB of RAM, we'd have called it a day. Here, have a giant, so-so Android device for $500, we might have said, otherwise not giving the thing much consideration.
