Product is far better than the reviews. I got it for the battery life and that does not disappoint. Performance is fine. I need it as laptop replacement on the road. Samsung disappointed me with my previous tablet and poor Android release support. Hope Lenovo is wiser than Samsung on that.
I have been a Lenovo owner for many years and my last Lenovo Tablet has lasted 3 years for which my son is now enjoying since I have purchased the new Yoga 8.
First of all the battery life is unprecedented and will give a business professional all they need in a days work or an intercontinental travel. I love the multi window desktop so I can quickly jump form one app to another for cut and pasting.
Adding the rounded end truly helps with grip and security of holding the device. I have MANY times used the stand for tilt or for standing the device upright for viewing.
Over all I am sure I will love this device even more than my previous and would recommend the Yoga 8 without reservation.
Cons: Video card, Wireless card, Keyboard/peripherals
I would recommend this to a friend!

User Manual

Using the Yoga 8 as a new user is trial and error to use the apps, connect to a network, specs on SD cards, and general use. I downloaded a PDF of the user manual from the Lenovo site but it does not cover anything in detail. Unit seems to be good but user information is severely lacking. Information on moving files from the internal storage to an SD card or SD card to another computer does not exist. Specs on the SD card itself do not exist.
I am an IT Professional and I've tried a lot of tablets, but this is the first tablet I really wanted to buy. Great size, long battery life, good sound, and a lot of fun to use. It's about half the cost of an iPad and I like it much better. The stand is a great feature as well.
Where Lenovo excels over the competition is the form factor of the battery module that serves as a great handle that fits into your palm, while almost doubling the battery life. This feature is what really won me over! Since the Android OS is a Google product, it did disappoint me a little that the set up of my Gmail account did not go as easy as it should. No indication on how to interface and/or synch with my Windows based desktop.
Pros: Battery, Input/Output compatibility, Weight, Warranty, Included software, Durability, Screen size, Build Quality, Display performance, battery life, form factor
I tried numerous tablets before I got to this one. The Yoga 8 wasn't even on my list. Almost all of what I do is media consumption and social networking. I tried the new Nexus 7, Samsung Note 8, Ipad. These were the top rated new tablets according to the online reviews. I was always left wanting. Until I picked one of these up! Once I got it all set up I was in love! It has plenty of power for the net, movies, and social networking. Not to mention the best battery life out there!!! The battery life on this thing is amazing! Add in the unique design, kick stand, and front facing speakers and this thing rocks!! Lenovo has a winner here! I hope they continue to develop it and upgrade it in the future. Lenovo has made me a life long customer now!!
I use the tablet mainly for browsing. Display is sharp, bright, responsive and easy to read, great viewing angles. Great for reading web pages, photos very sharp. 7 incher's with full HD have very small screen fonts. Battery life incredible. Days of browsing, skype call with video, watching tube movies etc. Front speakers are great. Kickstand great for tube videos rather than holding it or propping up somewhere. Quad core processor is great for day to day function, no lag. Very responsive. A faster processor would be noticed on intense games only. Web cam great for skype. 5MP camera is on par with other tablets. Hold it with the grip on the top side for best handling when taking pictures and movies. Needs an easy way to organize apps. Very very highly recommended.
Yoga 8" and Lenovo dual mouse N700 BT4. The Tablet is recognizing the mouse, but its not working because according to my knowledge HID over GATT (HOGP) BT Profile is missing, so I can't use my Lenovo N700 dual mouse. This means BT4 LE simple devices like mouse or keyboard are not supported by this Tablet. Lenovo advertised BT4 LE support, therefore I would like to get a solution.
