Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 at IFA 2012

Posted in: Today's Chili

Another day, another tablet makes its way to the scene, although this is slightly different from the rest by virtue of being a hybrid slate. We have seen the Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 drop by the FCC sometime in the middle of June, so that alone gave the game away that the device itself should be well on its way. Well, fast forward to IFA 2012 in Berlin, Germany, and we have the official announcement of the Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 hybrid slate that first appeared to the masses at CES 2012 as the IdeaTab S2.

Just what kind of specifications does it pack underneath the hood of this 10.1” convertible device? You will find a 1280 x 800 IPS display that sports 420 nits of brightness, a skinned version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for easy interaction, a Qualcomm dual-core 8060A 1.5GHz processor, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera and a 5-megapixel shooter at the back, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity. We have more photos of the IdeaTab S2110 right at the end of the story, so head on after the jump. (more…)

Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 quietly goes on sale as the Gobots of transforming tablets

Posted in: Today's Chili

Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 hybrid tablet

Lenovo’s 10-inch IdeaTab S2 was one of the belles of its CES ball in offering a distinctly Transformer Pad-like experience for those not beholden to ASUS’ view of the world. While there wasn’t much attention given to the Android 4.0 tablet outside of the FCC filing we saw last month, it’s getting its time to shine at last: the device is now sitting on Lenovo’s virtual shelves as the S2110. The 10.1-inch slate’s selling point remains its (strictly optional) keyboard dock, which supplies a trackpad, an SD slot, USB and 10 extra hours of battery life to keep that movie marathon going. Even if you have no intention of constructing the Gobot to ASUS’ Transformer original, though, the S2110 is still a big leap over the so-so S2109 from the spring. A 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon APQ8060A, a rear 5-megapixel camera and a landscape 1,280 x 800 screen are all incentives to pay the premium over the S2110’s budget predecessor. Not that there will be much of a premium to pay — despite setting a $449 official price, Lenovo is already discounting the S2110 to as little as $343. That’s low enough to lure the cost-conscious away from the Transformer Pad elephant in the room, even if it reminds us of relatives that always bought us the cheaper robot toys when we were kids.
