IdeaTab S2

Lenovo just released a new tablet, the Lenovo IdeaTab S2. The device measures just 8.69mm thick and comes with a 10-inch display. The operating system runs Google's latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The keyboard is an extra, which adds a little thickness to the tablet. In a similar way to the Transformer Prime, the S2 keyboard allows the tablet portion to be docked so it can be used more like a laptop for data entry.

The keyboard section has its own battery that can also power the tablet. By combining both units together, it gives this bad boy about 20-hours of battery life.

The technical specs include a Qualcomm 1.5 GHz Dual Krait Snapdragon 8x60A or 8960 processor. The screen measures 10.1 inches and features 1280 x 800 pixels. The technology used in the screen is called IPS (in-plane switching), which allows for wider viewing angles. 1GB of RAM is included, and the IdeaTab S2 comes in three models - 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

It has wireless 802.11b/g/n as well as Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. It also has a 3G option available. GPS and AGPS are also included for location based and tracking services, and it has a multitouch trackpad and an SDHC card reader. A couple of cameras can be found with 1.3MP on the front and 5MP autofocus camera on the back.Read more
