Lenovo’s Android slate might benefit from these changes

Yesterday we finally got to take a look at the upcoming Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13 with Android, as the preliminary specifications for the tab leaked online, alongside a bunch of photos.

The tablet, which can keep itself upright, is expected to arrive with a full HD resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) and to draw power by an Intel Bay Trail processor clocked at 1.8GHz.

This information was kind of a disappointing as we believed the tablet had a more disruptive potential to it. So today we’re taking the opportunity to dream a little and envision the perfect Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro.

A better display

Sure, FHD resolution is better than the average standard offered on the market, but if Lenovo is to market this device for the professional crowd, it should at least throw in 2560 x 1600 like Samsung’s 12.2 beast the Galaxy TabPRO offers.

Broadwell anyone?

The first batch of Broadwell devices have already been announced, but they will arrive with Windows 8.1 as operating system. However, this is not to say Broadwell won’t make it to Android tablets.

Back in July we brought you a report saying that the first Intel Broadwell and Skylake tablets will make it out on the market in 2015.

Since we don’t know when exactly the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13 Pro will launch, Lenovo could still surprise us and bundle the tablet with something more exciting than the Bay Trail chip architecture.

Taking advantage of Broadwell will bring many benefits to the 13-inch tablet, making it less-power hungry and more efficient, not to mention skinny and light as a feather.

Furthermore, these tablets should be capable of sustaining up to 8 hours of life onboard.

Focus on accessories

Since the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13 should be marketed at business users, a lot of customers might benefit from the addition of a digitizer that could bring support for a smart pen.

In yesterday’s report, we didn’t find any mention of such a thing and the Yoga Android family isn’t known to bring such functionalities about.

Moving on, because the tablet can sit itself up, Lenovo might want to add an additional keyboard folio in the tablet bundle, to boost the productive capacities of the tablet.

Android L could really spice things up

Since we don’t have an exact date of when the tablet will launch in the wild, we might be oh so lucky and have the new Yoga arrive with Android L. After all, Android’s latest OS is expected to make a debut in November.
