Tuesday night, I attended a big Lenovo press event at the\u00a0YouTube Space Los Angeles, home for YouTube creators. \u00a0It was a super cool venue to hold the press conference. \u00a0The room was packed with reporters and bloggers, eager to catch a glimpse of what the Lenovo’s advertised #betterway is in using a tablet. \u00a0Twitter was abuzz all week and the #betterway hashtag was on fire with chatter as the event came closer. \u00a0To make the event even more newsworthy, actor Ashton Kutcher was on hand to make the introduction. \u00a0Ashton has been a long time fan of technology and was more than excited to be on hand for the night’s activities. \u00a0In fact, he announced that he was a new employee of Lenovo, to help them develop relevant technology for people on the go.<\/p>\n

Billed as their exciting product announcement yet, Lenovo introduced a new form factor to their Yoga family of tablets. \u00a0The Yoga Tablet is a tablet with a built-in stand. \u00a0The new 8-inch and 10-inch tablet models have a cylinder bar that goes across the side of the tablet. \u00a0Inside this bar, Lenovo has cleverly hidden the battery, which, by the way, has a 18 hour battery life, \u00a0a phenomenal amount of time for a tablet. \u00a0Like the Yoga Ultrabooks’ flexibility, the Yoga tablets have three positions they can be used in:<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Hold<\/strong> – comfortably hold the tablet in just one hand<\/p>\n 2. \u00a0Tilt<\/strong> – \u00a0when the tablet is lying flat it naturally tilts up so you can see it better<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0Stand<\/strong> – it’s a tablet with a built-in stand so you can use the tablet hands-free. \u00a0The stand can be adjusted anywhere from 110 degrees to 135 degrees<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new Lenovo Yoga tablets is available now from Lenovo <\/a>with a retail price of $249 for the 8 inch and $299 for the 10-inch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have to say, I LOVE the built-in kickstand. \u00a0It is so convenient. \u00a0I like to use it next to my desktop to keep abreast of emails and social media news while I’m working on my PC. \u00a0It’s my second screen! \u00a0It’s also handy when lying down, I can sit it on my stomach and read through email’s while it’s propped up since the tablet has a built-in stand. \u00a0The Yoga Tablet’s 1.3 lb. size does make it heavier than I’d like, but this issue is minimized when I use the built-in kickstand capability. \u00a0And the 800×1280 screen is beautiful.<\/p>\n Hunter Hunted played after the the Yoga Tablet was announced\u00a0while we had the opportunity to mingle, tweet, and actually get to use the tablet and ask questions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I attended the Lenovo #BetterWay Yoga Tablet launch as a member of the new Lenovo Moms team. \u00a0Lenovo Moms is a group of 15 moms across the United States, blogging on family technology, food, travel, and more. \u00a0 Over the next several months I will be using the Yoga Tablet<\/a> and the Flex20<\/a>\u00a0to show you how my family is using technology to make our time more efficient…and more fun. \u00a0The Flex20 is the new fusion of the All-in-One PC and the tablet. \u00a0It can be used upright or tabletop, ready for the family to view pictures, watch movies, or play games together- with several hands touching it at once!<\/p>\n My kids and I have used other tablets in our house all the time. \u00a0We use them for games, streaming movies and sitcom’s, reading books, taking pictures and video (my daughter’s favorite), cooking recipes, and checking email. \u00a0Now with the new Yoga Tablet, because of it’s built-in stand, I can see even more possibilities of using a tablet. \u00a0It strikes me funny that something so simple as a built-in tablet stand can be so revolutionary, but after using it for a few days now, you know, it kinda is. \u00a0And with the battery life of 18 hours, I can leave it on as an always on desktop companion throughout the day, and now worry about killing the battery for use at night.<\/p>\n How would you use the Lenovo Yoga Tablet’s built-in stand?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n * \u00a0I was given a Lenovo Yoga Tablet as a member of the Lenovo Moms and will be using it on a daily basis to make life easier. \u00a0All opinions are my own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lenovo Yoga Tablet with a built-in stand is actually pretty revolutionary.
