For example, you might place it in upright position for watching videos or you might tilt to get a better angle for typing or you can also hang it from a wall while showing a presentation. The cylindrical server another purpose besides housing the device’s battery, it is to give you a comfortable hold while using the tab in portrait mode. The cylindrical also allows Lenovo to use larger batteries compared to other tablets. The Yoga tab 3 Pro has a metal build of premium aluminium and covered in leather and has a 10 inch display. What makes it unique is its 180 degree pico – Projector that is built – in. This is great upgrade over Yoga tablet 2 Pro which could Project only up to 5 inches of screen.
