New Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Tablet May Have Windows RT Version


Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Tablet
It appears that an upcoming Windows 8 tablet offering from Lenovo may compete with the Microsoft Surface tablet since it will offer a Windows RT model aside from the Windows 8 model. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet has a lid that allows it to be used either as a tablet or a laptop.

Lenovo had earlier indicated that it was set to introduce a Windows RT product once the Windows 8 OS is launched by Microsoft this coming October. Although the company did not mention the name of the device, recent reports have pointed to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet as the device that the company is set to unveil.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet will be released into the market by October and will come in two models, a Windows RT model and a Windows 8 or a Windows 8 Pro model.

Earlier reports had hinted of a Windows RT product from Lenovo that can be used either as a tablet or a notebook. Unnamed sources had indicated that the supposed Lenovo product is the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet although the company has not issued any statements in connection to these reports.

The display of the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet can be folded all the way to the back to allow its use as a tablet device. The battery life of the Windows RT model of the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet will reportedly be better compared to the Windows 8 model due to the low-powered ARM chip of the device.

However the Windows RT model of the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet will not offer support for legacy desktop applications that can be used on the Windows 8 or the Windows 8 Pro model of the device. A number of other applications used on the Windows RT model will also be limited, which will supposedly allow the device to have a better battery life.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga tablet will feature a thirteen-inch display screen and will weigh around 1.5 kilograms.
