Lenovo's original, kickstand-toting Yoga Tablet was kind of a flop, thanks to a poor display, sluggish performance and heavily skinned version of Android. (Naming Ashton Kutcher as a "product engineer" probably didn't help either.) Not to be deterred, the company is going all in: Lenovo just announced new versions of the Yoga Tablet, including a big-screen model with a built-in projector, and two that run Windows (it's also still available with Android). Starting with that weird projector edition, called the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, it's not the first gadget we've seen with a built-in lamp, but it's the first we've seen in quite some time. In this case, what we have this time around is a 13-inch Android tablet with a 2,560 x 1,440 screen sharp enough to play movies on its own, though you could also use the in-built Pico projector to create a 50-inch image on the wall.

Speaking of the sort, the tablet is about as flexible as other Yoga tablets, which is to say it has a rotating hinge that doubles as a kickstand. Here, though, there's also an option to hang it from a wall while you project, if that's somehow more convenient than standing it upright. On the inside, the tablet makes use of an Intel Atom processor, helped by 2GB of RAM. There's also an 8-megapixel rear camera, along with dual 1.5-watt speakers a 5-watt JBL subwoofer. For storage, you get 32 gigs built in, along with a microSD card capable of supporting cards as large as 64GB. The battery, meanwhile, which is built into the hinge, is rated for up to 15 hours of runtime. So is something this innovative worth a second look? Depends: How do you feel about spending $500-plus on your next tablet? We'll give you a few weeks to think on that -- this won't actually go on sale until the end of the month.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro









If you're just fine with a regular tablet, thank you very much, the refreshed Yoga Tablet 2 still comes in 8- and 10-inch sizes, just like the last version. Now, though, it's available with either Android 4.4 or Windows 8.1. All told, this is a pretty iterative upgrade -- the design is fundamentally the same -- though there are nonetheless a few welcome spec bumps. For starters, Lenovo upgraded from a MediaTek processor to an Intel Atom chip, which should hopefully address those performance issues. Two, all of the tablets in the series, even the 8-inch models, now have 1,920 x 1,200 screens, a step up from the 1,280 x 800 on the last-gen models. Additionally, the kickstand is said to be sturdier on the 10-inch model, while all of the models now have that same new "Hang" mode as the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro. Finally, there's a 4G option for all the Android models, along with the 10-inch Windows version.

If you do buy one of the Windows configurations, you'll also get a free one-year subscription to Office 365. Unfortunately, Lenovo didn't make many changes to the Android version, which is to say it still runs a heavily skinned version of KitKat. In particular, Lenovo's take on Android is so heavy-handed, that it's actually more like iOS in some ways -- there isn't even an app drawer! Just all your apps, hanging out on the various home screens. In any case, if you are interested in the Android version, that's available today starting at $250 for the 8-inch model and $300 for the 10-incher. The two Windows models will arrive throughout the fall, with the 10-inch model going on sale later this month for $400, and the 8-inch edition landing in November for $300.

Lenovo's new 'Yoga' tablets run Android and Windows, one has a built-in projector

No matter how stacked its specs are, a laptop is useless if it can’t hold a charge. Fortunately, there are plenty of notebooks that go the distance. Using our Laptop Mag Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi), we’ve identified the 10 longest-lasting notebooks on the market. We’re talking anywhere from 9 hours to more than 20 hours of endurance, which should more than suffice for that cross-country fight, long day of meetings or multiple, back-to-back classes.



Lenovo ThinkPad X240





Lenovo's X200 ThinkPad series is synonymous with portable productivity, and the X240 lets you get more done than ever without rushing to the nearest outlet. This lightweight laptop's built-in battery provides a good 7 hours and 40 minutes of juice, which stretches to a whopping 20 hours and 28 minutes when you upgrade from its 3-cell to its 6-cell battery. This endurance is the most we've ever gotten from a laptop without a sheet battery attached to the bottom, and makes the X240 the perfect productivity companion.




Lenovo ThinkPad T440s





One of our favorite business notebooks, the Lenovo ThinkPad T440s has the battery life to back up its strong fourth-generation Intel Core performance and vibrant display. This comfy laptop can be configured with a 3-cell battery that lasts an above-average 7 hours, but you should spend the extra $5 for the optional 6-cell battery that more than doubles that life to 14 hours and 36 minutes. The T440s also has an additional 3-cell internal battery, so you can swap out battery packs without your device going dead.




Asus X205





Not only does the Asus EeeBook X205TA offer more than 12 hours of battery life, but it's also cheap. At $199, it gives Chromebooks a run for their money while offering Windows 8.1 and solid everyday computing performance. That's all while being clad in a dark navy blue that shimmers almost purple. The thumping speakers are surprisingly good, too.




Apple MacBook Air 13-inch





The latest MacBook Air keeps the same sleek design as its predecessor and adds a zippier Core i5 processor for $100 less. The best part? You still get awesome battery life. The 13-inch Air lasted a very long 12 hours and 20 minutes on the Laptop Mag battery test. Add in a comfy keyboard and touchpad and easy-to-use OS X Mavericks, and it's easy to see why this $999 Air is our favorite ultraportable value.




Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display (2014)





The robust MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display grew even stronger for 2014, and Apple didn't have to sacrifice battery life for added power. This stylish notebook lasted 10 hours and 44 minutes on our battery test--an hour longer than the 2013 version--providing plenty of juice for photo editing, video chatting with friends or spending late nights in the studio with GarageBand.





Dell Chromebook 11 (i3)





When you’re busy living life in the cloud, you don’t want to stop and plug into the ground every few hours. That’s one reason the Dell Chromebook 11 is such a catch. This Web-based machine with a 11.6-inch display also performs admirably without a hiccup, thanks to the onboard Intel Core i3 processor. The matte finish design also ensures this little puppy will stay looking like new for quite some time.



Acer TravelMate P645





Acer's TravelMate P645 is an impressive IT powerhouse with the endurance to match. Clocking in at 9 hours and 46 minutes, the sleek P645 outlasted many of its thin-and-light competitors with more than enough juice to get through the workday. The P645 comes loaded with security features, and its staying power gives business users even more peace of mind when working remotely.




MacBook Air 11-inch (2014)





One of the best Apple laptop values ever, the updated 11-inch MacBook Air costs just $899 and includes a faster new Core i5 processor running at 1.4-GHz. With a speedy SSD under the hood, this is one of the zippiest ultraportables available. But the new Air also boasts fantastic endurance; this 2.4-pound powerhouse lasted a strong 9 hours and 19 minutes on our rundown test.




Lenovo N20p Chromebook





Affordable and long lasting: two of the hallmarks of the best Chromebooks. The 11.6-inch Lenovo N20p Chromebook meets all expectations. What sets it apart from the crowd is a touch-screen and a dual-mode rotating display. The Intel Celeron CPU inside makes for sprightly everyday performance.



Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme





Built to withstand the harshest environments and every possible type of punishment, the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme is ready for anything. It features protected ports and a 14-inch resistive touch screen that's made to be read outside. Inside, you'll find discrete Nvidia graphics, an Intel Core i5 CPU and a 256GB SSD. The nearly 9 hours of runtime means you won't need to find an outlet until your workday is done.

Tablets make the ultimate couch companion, but even the sharpest and most powerful slates are useless if they can’t handle hours of Web surfing, gaming and video streaming. That’s why we’ve compiled the longest-lasting tablets we’ve ever tested. Every slate on this list lasted at least 8 hours on our battery test, which consists of continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi with the brightness set to 150 nits. If you need a tablet that can handle your Netflix addiction with ease, look no further.


LG G Pad 10.1





With nearly 14 hours of battery life, the LG G Pad 10.1 most definitely wins the endurance race. But the tablet goodness doesn't stop there. This slate sports a bright 10.1-inch display with 128- x 800-pixel resolution. It comes with 16GB of flash memory, but -- unlike much of the competition -- you can add up to 32GB more via the microSD card slot. Plus, the preloaded QPair app can quickly pair your smartphone with your tablet.




Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+





Uniquely, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ features an adjustable kickstand and hinge, which allows you to stand the tablet up for better viewing. And you'll be able to stream plenty of Netflix, thanks to the 13:01 of battery life endurance. This $349 Android tablet features a full-HD 1920 x 1200-pixel display and front-facing speakers for an even better cinema experience.




Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2





The 12 hours and 37 minutes of battery life is a good reason to love the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2, but it's not the only one. This 10-inch Android 4.4 KitKat tablet sports a built-in kickstand and curved edge that allows you to use the tablet in multiple modes. The front-facing speakers positively boom audio at you, and the $269 price tag is nothing to sneeze at. Plus, on the software front, Lenovo adds a quick-settings menu called Bottom Switch, which gives you easy access to various settings.




LG G Pad 7





The vivid, 1280 x 800 IPS display and solid audio quality are enough reasons to give the LG G Pad 7 a second look. But the bottom dollar price of $150 makes this Android KitKat tablet a must buy. Add to that a marathon endurance of 11 hours and 18 minutes and you've got a no-brainer holiday gift on your hands. We also love that you can add to the 8GB of onboard storage via a microSD card slot.




Apple iPad mini 2





Apple's iPad mini finally has a Retina display, and it's just as good as you'd imagined. But what you may not have expected from this iOS 7-powered slate is that it would get a crazy long 11 hours and 6 minutes of battery life over Wi-Fi. Like the iPad Air, the iPad mini with Retina display features Apple's new 64-bit A7 processor, making this one screaming fast slate.





Amazon Fire HDX 8.9





Amazon adds so much value to its tablet line, at least for Prime members who enjoy free movies, TV shows, e-books and music. But even non-Prime members will love the Fire HDX 8.9 because of its excellent parental controls, attractive design and brilliant 2560 x 1600-pixel display. Plus, this Android-based tablet will keep going for an amazing 10 hours and 19 minutes.





Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2





The massive Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has "laptop replacement" written all over it, with the battery life to back it up. This mega-slate endured 9 hours and 32 seconds on our battery test, which should give you plenty of time to utilize its neat multitasking features and stylus apps. The Note Pro 12.2 is built for the office, and you won't have to worry about it running out of juice when you need it most.





Sony Xperia Z2





Sony's stylish Xperia Z2 is the rare tablet that can survive being dunked in water, but that's not its only impressive endurance trait. This slim 10-incher lasted a solid 9 hours and 30 seconds on our battery test, which, combined with its water resistance, makes it an ideal companion for kicking back by the pool all day without a charger.




Apple iPad Air 2





The industry standard for tablets is also one of the longest lasting, with 9 hours and 20 minutes of endurance. The Apple iPad Air 2 also boasts a gorgeous display in a super-thin design. The A8X chip ensures zippy performance. A sharper camera will capture all your precious moments. And, while the competition is catching up, Apple still maintains the best tablet-friendly app selection on the market.





Dell Venue 11 Pro





Fire up the Dell Venue 11 Pro, and you've got a solid Windows 8.1 tablet that will last through 8 hours on a single charge. Attach it to the optional keyboard dock, and you've got a mini laptop that lasts a stunning 15 hours and 40 seconds. Factor in the slate's crisp 1080p display and zippy performance, and you've got a hybrid that can handle a day's work—and then some— on a single charge.

Lenovo’s notebooks have long been praised for their best-in-class keyboards and durable designs, but those qualities are just the tip of a very tall iceberg. From ThinkPads that set the gold standard for business laptops to Yoga hybrids that bend into four different modes, the company’s lineup is filled with powerful portables that help you make the most of work and play. These are our picks for the very best Lenovo laptops.


Lenovo LaVie Z (New and Notable)





Say hello to the lightest 13-inch notebook ever. Due out in May, the $1,299 Lenovo LaVie Z weighs just 1.73 pounds, but doesn’t skimp on specs, offering a full-fledged Intel 5th Generation Core series CPU and a full HD screen. A 2-in-1 version with a screen that bends back 360 degrees will cost $1,499 and weigh a slightly higher 2.04 pounds.



Lenovo Y50





There’s a lot to like about Lenovo’s affordable 15-inch gaming rig. Thanks to its Quad-Core Core i7 CPU and Nvidia GTX 860M graphics, the Y50 packs a lot of graphics prowess into its 5.4-pound, 0.9-inch thick frame. With a starting price of just $949 and a simple, but attractive, design, this is one rig that won’t drag down your wallet or your living room aesthetic.



Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro





At 2.6 pounds and just 0.5-inches thick, the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is one of the thinnest, lightest notebooks on the market, making it even easier to carry than the 13-inch MacBook Air. A new "watchband" hinge allows the 2-in-1 hybrid to lie completely flat or bend into tablet, tent or stand modes, while Lenovo Harmony Settings software tweaks your programs to work better as you switch from clamshell to slate. An eye-popping 3200 x 1800 touch screen and vibrant JBL speakers make this a lightweight entertainment powerhouse.



Lenovo ThinkPad X240





Welcome to the next-level of portable productivity. The 12.5-inch ThinkPad X240 packs powerful, battery-saving Intel 4th-Generation Core Series CPU technology, a super-tough durable design, and an optional full-HD screen--complete with touch capability. If you want the next-level of battery life, throw in the extended battery for more power than any other laptop on the market.

NOTE: The ThinkPad X250, the next version of this laptop, will be available in February. Though it looks the same, the X250 will have a faster, Intel 5th Generation Core series CPU inside; it also adds dedicated TrackPoint buttons.



Lenovo ThinkPad W540





When you need no-compromise business performance, look no further than the ThinkPad W540. This high-end laptop comes with a powerful quad-core Core i7 CPU, Nvidia Quadro graphics for demanding CAD and 3D applications, and a sharp 15.6-inch, 2800 x 1620 display that comes with a color calibrator in the deck. Add in a keyboard with the strongest tactile feedback on the market and a low-light sensitive webcam and you've got a powerful workstation that's ready to go anywhere.



Lenovo Yoga 2 11





Lenovo's Yoga 2 11 gives a whole new meaning to the phrase flexible budget. Priced at $499, this Best Buy exclusive offers the 360-degree, bendable hinge of the Yoga series without killing your wallet. Plus, Lenovo's Yoga Picks utility highlights apps that it thinks would be beneficial to users, and tailors its selections based on the Yoga 2's modes.

NOTE: An updated model, the Yoga 3 11-inch, will be available in March for $799. It will include a new Intel 5th Generation Core Series CPU and a more premium design.





Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga





Lenovo's ThinkPad Yoga is a well-designed business hybrid with a rotating 12.5-inch display that works with the included 4.5-inch stylus. We love the excellent keyboard. While this model doesn't offer a removeable or extended battery option, users will still appreciate the more than 8 hours of battery life.





Lenovo ThinkPad T440s





The ThinkPad T440s is the best thin-and-light business laptop on the market. Fourth-gen Intel CPU tech, hot swappable batteries, and an internal power source ups the juice limit to 14 hours. That means, you'll have plenty of time to clear your workload on the T440s' industry-leading keyboard and vivid 1080p display.

NOTE: A new version of this notebook, the ThinkPad T450s, will become available in Feburary 2015. It has the same design, but uses a new Intel 5th Generation "Broadwell" CPU and adds dedicated TrackPoint buttons.





Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro





Like its successor, the Yoga 2 Pro sports a 3200 x 1800-pixel display, an eye-popping 3200 x 1800 display and the ability to bend into laptop, tent, stand or tablet modes. Though not quite as thin and light as the Yoga 3 Pro, the 2 Pro has a starting price that's a full $350 less.

Top Best Lenovo Laptops


Lenovo’s notebooks have long been praised for their best-in-class keyboards and durable designs, but those qualities are just the tip of a very tall iceberg. From ThinkPads that set the gold standard for business laptops to Yoga hybrids that bend into four different modes, the company’s lineup is filled with powerful portables that help you make the most of work and play. These are our picks for the very best Lenovo laptops.


Lenovo LaVie Z (New and Notable)





Say hello to the lightest 13-inch notebook ever. Due out in May, the $1,299 Lenovo LaVie Z weighs just 1.73 pounds, but doesn’t skimp on specs, offering a full-fledged Intel 5th Generation Core series CPU and a full HD screen. A 2-in-1 version with a screen that bends back 360 degrees will cost $1,499 and weigh a slightly higher 2.04 pounds.



Lenovo Y50





There’s a lot to like about Lenovo’s affordable 15-inch gaming rig. Thanks to its Quad-Core Core i7 CPU and Nvidia GTX 860M graphics, the Y50 packs a lot of graphics prowess into its 5.4-pound, 0.9-inch thick frame. With a starting price of just $949 and a simple, but attractive, design, this is one rig that won’t drag down your wallet or your living room aesthetic.



Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro





At 2.6 pounds and just 0.5-inches thick, the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is one of the thinnest, lightest notebooks on the market, making it even easier to carry than the 13-inch MacBook Air. A new "watchband" hinge allows the 2-in-1 hybrid to lie completely flat or bend into tablet, tent or stand modes, while Lenovo Harmony Settings software tweaks your programs to work better as you switch from clamshell to slate. An eye-popping 3200 x 1800 touch screen and vibrant JBL speakers make this a lightweight entertainment powerhouse.



Lenovo ThinkPad X240





Welcome to the next-level of portable productivity. The 12.5-inch ThinkPad X240 packs powerful, battery-saving Intel 4th-Generation Core Series CPU technology, a super-tough durable design, and an optional full-HD screen--complete with touch capability. If you want the next-level of battery life, throw in the extended battery for more power than any other laptop on the market.

NOTE: The ThinkPad X250, the next version of this laptop, will be available in February. Though it looks the same, the X250 will have a faster, Intel 5th Generation Core series CPU inside; it also adds dedicated TrackPoint buttons.



Lenovo ThinkPad W540





When you need no-compromise business performance, look no further than the ThinkPad W540. This high-end laptop comes with a powerful quad-core Core i7 CPU, Nvidia Quadro graphics for demanding CAD and 3D applications, and a sharp 15.6-inch, 2800 x 1620 display that comes with a color calibrator in the deck. Add in a keyboard with the strongest tactile feedback on the market and a low-light sensitive webcam and you've got a powerful workstation that's ready to go anywhere.



Lenovo Yoga 2 11





Lenovo's Yoga 2 11 gives a whole new meaning to the phrase flexible budget. Priced at $499, this Best Buy exclusive offers the 360-degree, bendable hinge of the Yoga series without killing your wallet. Plus, Lenovo's Yoga Picks utility highlights apps that it thinks would be beneficial to users, and tailors its selections based on the Yoga 2's modes.

NOTE: An updated model, the Yoga 3 11-inch, will be available in March for $799. It will include a new Intel 5th Generation Core Series CPU and a more premium design.





Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga





Lenovo's ThinkPad Yoga is a well-designed business hybrid with a rotating 12.5-inch display that works with the included 4.5-inch stylus. We love the excellent keyboard. While this model doesn't offer a removeable or extended battery option, users will still appreciate the more than 8 hours of battery life.





Lenovo ThinkPad T440s





The ThinkPad T440s is the best thin-and-light business laptop on the market. Fourth-gen Intel CPU tech, hot swappable batteries, and an internal power source ups the juice limit to 14 hours. That means, you'll have plenty of time to clear your workload on the T440s' industry-leading keyboard and vivid 1080p display.
