The two tablets are unconventional since it utilises some of the innovations that Lenovo has put into its Yoga line of notebooks. For starters, the two tablets pack a cylindrical battery that reportedly packs up to 18 hours of battery life.

The tablets also feature a kickstand that allows the devices to have three different configurations, including a “Read mode” where the stand is closed, a “Stand mode” in which the stand is open propping up the tablet in a similar fashion as the Surface tablets and a “Tilt mode” wherein the tablet is laid flat on its back at an angle that’s best suited for on-screen typing.

The Lenovo Yoga comes in either 8-inch or 10-inch model and sports a quad-core MediaTek processor, 720p screen resolution, 16GB of built-in storage and a textured plastic back. Both tablets will run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Lenovo’s custom overlay that recommends specific apps that are best suited for the mode you’re in.

The 8-inch Lenovo Yoga Tablet will be available tomorrow starting in the U.S for US$249. The 10-inch version on the other hand will “soon” be available for US$299. There’s also an optional Bluetooth keyboard cover for the 10-inch model, which will retail for US$69.
