Lenovo launches Yoga Tab 3 and Yoga Tab 3 Pro Android tablets

Last year, Lenovo and Ashton Kutcher "collaborated" on the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, an Android tablet with a built-in video projector. Does the world truly need such a thing? Apparently so, because for 2015, the company has returned with the Yoga Tab 3 and $499 Yoga Tab 3 Pro. (Kutcher apparently didn't play any hand in these products.) The high-end Yoga Tab 3 Pro is a bit smaller than last year's model; its screen is now 10 inches as opposed to 13, which leads to a higher pixel density on its QHD display. And yes, it's very very sharp to my eyes.

Lenovo says improvements have also been made to the projector inside, which has gotten brighter and can now beam out a 70-inch picture — and you can point it at either the wall or your ceiling this time. Sound quality is also a major focus, as the Yoga 3 Tab Pro has four front-facing speakers and what Lenovo describes as "virtualized Dolby Atmos" for an experience the company says can replicate surround sound. Such claims rarely pan out, but if you need to throw on a Netflix movie for a small room or restless kids (like say, when Netflix gets first dibs on Disney films next year), it might work out just fine.
