I Love yoga tablets so much, i owned one for years until it broke on me (the charging port broke) and so i went and bought the newer version and im still using it since two years or more, I'll definitely buy this new version if my current yoga tablet go bad, i mostly love the kick stand on those tablets it makes it very easy to use, also the batteries are always huge they last for long, and sound and screen are great, thanks for making this video i thought that they stopped making yoga tablets and i was worried what to buy next if my tablet stopped working, now im glad i still have the option
This is really great combo for travels, Series S + this tablet = emulation, gamepass, mobile games. Reminds me of attached PS1 screen back in the old days.
This is so ridiculously perfect. Best of both worlds, a legit powerful android tablet that doubles as a portable monitor. I think it's perfect for the mini consoles like NES classic and PS classic
wow, that was a really good deal specially since it also works as an extra monitor not to mention the specs are quite good for that price range I would never even think you could find something like it at that price tag
Best Buy dropped the price again to $399, so I snapped it up immediately. So stoked to have a decent tablet that can do double duty as a second screen for my laptop when it's time to work.
I've been asking for HDMI in on tablets for a long time. Glad this is happening. Given that most portable monitors don't include batteries, offer horrible panels, have really bad build quality and can't cover any other functions, this is the most sensible place to go. Also, makes big tablets way more viable just by covering a ton of use cases other than just being a tablet. This should be standard in most high end tablets, since it would effectively make the tablet part of the device feel more affordable, considering you get other uses out of it.
Totally agree. I have been using capture card to use tablet as monitor for testing pi. This makes perfect sense. It also reduce e-waste. I still have a old HP slate 24" inch android AIO that is also monitor. Android was too old but screen still looks good. I just plug a tv stick in and use it as small bedroom TV and digital photo frame.
Some low-budget portable "DVD" players have a "Android" running aka "Tablet/DVD" player but they have low spec & clunky interface...but who's plays "DVD" nowadays, "Lenovo" "Yoga Tab 13" (HDMI Monitor, a kick stand, good speakers runs "Android" apps like "Netflix" you got me sold) seems like the Best Entertainment Tablet right over an "iPad" to kids busy.
@@valuehunter5544 yeah I don't like this model particularly. But if it carries over to other models I might consider switching to Lenovo tablets. Whichever company makes video-in a regular feature on their tablets has a lot to gain, even though that use case might not be very popular right now.
I bought this for my parents last September because of the 13" screen. It is a really awesome tablet at a reasonable price. Recommended to those who prefers a tablet with bigger screen.
I've always wanted something like this. I never understood why this wasn't a feature anyone has done before. I hope future tablets have this feature. It just makes sense.
I missed the last sale and was stalking Best Buy waiting for another sale. Jumped on it immediately! The "all-in-one" nature of this tablet has my inner nerd doing the Carlton dance.
It's only Android 11 right now. Android 12 will be released sometime in the near future they say. I have it right now and it's been great. It works great with my Steam Deck ☺️ Edit: Android 12 did drop finally and I got the notification this afternoon 🤩
I had an Yoga Book when it was launched, that thing was amazing! So many features, slim body, built in keyboard... Unfortunatly it didn't had a good processor so some apps/games wasn't playable, quite sad...
I've been following the price for a couple of weeks now. Lenovo direct went on sale for $399 once, and Best Buy just dropped it again to $399. It's also pretty regularly available at $500-550, when not on deep discount.
Fun fact. Ashton Kutcher was one of the lead designers of the original Lenovo Yoga Tablet. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and worked for Lenovo at the time.
I would love to see you compare this with the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. The price is currently $399, so it's a much better, direct comparison than the Tab S8. To me, there would be some good pros and cons to hit on each... I think it would be a killer comparison!
I bought this baby back in November for 750 Euro in Germany and it's an amazing tablet on so many levels and the video out option is an amazing feature when you want to play your emulator games on the big screen. I just want to mention upscaled Tatsunoko vs. Capcom on Dolphin and top android games look so good on this tablet. I also love the 100% sRGB display to showcase my photography. All in all it's an amazing device. Especially when you can get it for half the price now compared to what I paid 5 months ago.
@@jayz4evr Well, I couldn't find it cheaper at that time and wanted to play my retro games on it. Unfortunately I barely use it nowadays because I don't have much time to play.
That's brilliant! I love that when this thing gets over the hill it won't just be more e-waste. I've got a few old tablets now with perfectly-functional screens that I'd love to use for something, wish I could do the same for those 😄
You can still use them as a secondary screen for a Windows PC if it supports Spacedesk (Android 4.1+) or any similar app. If you connect it using USB tethering, it should have minimal latency.
They're everything ranging from Fire tablets, to a super old ipad 2 (9.something) to a possibly even older Nook HD+ (May have been Android 4, don't recall). Don't think I'd use any for Windows monitors but they could make decent countertop arcades or Pi screens or similar. Something like this that's better than an app running on a crappy old device but easier than having to tear it apart to hopefully be able to re-use it is a nice compromise.
Pretty nice tablet! I really like the functional design, although that would make it harder to fit between your books to carry it around, still, you get some and you loose some
Windows 11 works surprisingly well on a Snapdragon 345 smartphone (although with some caveats), but imagine having a MOD installation of Windows 11 on this thing. Would be very cool.
This, there’s virtually no workaround to not having one. Mind you, seems like microSD support is getting a bit more painful too, a newer phone I have doesn’t seem to allow you to encrypt (or decrypt) them without wiping all contents 😒
Hmm, might make a great companion for the Steam Deck. Go dual screen for awhile, then play music on one and play games on the other or play remote play with a friend. Around 300 is a great price, I wouldn't mind a little less power with hdmi in. Though for more than that I'd want a micro SD card slot for media and such.
I hope Lenovo keeps tablets with hdmi input a thing in the future it’s such a good idea I don’t want it to die after this tablets battery eventually stops in the future
I’ve been wanting a tablet with an hdmi port for quite some time , now we need one with a better screen (1440p 120hz amoled ) and that would be perfect , sd 870 is enough for mobile since newer chips are inefficient and produce a lot of heat , all flagship tablets should include this in the future !
Would love to know if you detected any input lag on games via video in. This monitor looks like the perfect combination for me: portable monitor, built in kickstand (folding covers are hit and miss), solid Android performance, and good audio/video. I could theoretically make this the center of my mobile office by bringing my BT keyboard/touchpad, Galaxy S21 with Dex, and Switch with mini dock, leaving my laptop at home. Anyway, thanks for the great review and heads-up on this unique tablet. Would have totally gone under my radar otherwise!
You got a great deal and under 400usd price point. Hdmi in is a great value add indeed, hope more big tablets implement this, adds so much use to the tablet even down the line. I see using this monitor for dex with a galaxy phone for productivity and media device after work, instead of bringing a full size laptop, great for travel. If only they update it to android 12L but doubt they do it quickly or at all when available
@@tonyh6692 You need a Samsung device with dex support and that has video out on USB port and use the tablet as an external monitor,since it supports this rare funcion of hdmi in, connected via cable
We need more budget tablets with HDMI input. So that we can do light tasks on it and when we need the power we can hook our more powerful phone or mini PC.
This is great even if you view it as only a portable display, you get battery powered display, decent speaker, 2K screen. This will be great for travelling, camping, caravan, mobile offices, etc.
Hey ETA, I would love to see you include Moonlight streaming in your videos. I use Moonlight streaming a lot and would love to see your input on it. Especially since this tablet has wi-fi 6.
Im so glad I am subscribed, i waited for the deal and i got it for that price. I gave it to my mom thinking I would be able to get one for me later on but they are not available anymore.
I had this tablet in my cart multiple times but kept canceling my order. I want S8 Ultra and gladly wait until Black Friday to get a couple of hundreds off. This is the 11 inch S8 I want, my swing for the 12.4 but I feel it might be too big.
The S8 is a monster, I love the ultra but yeah it’s way to big, I had the S7 plus and it was also just a huge 12.4. For gaming in handheld mode the 11 is the way to go for sure
I have the Lenovo Yoga 10 inch. The sound is awesome and the tablet has USB c. No need for an otg cable like in your previous video. The only downside is the Chinese ROM and GUI which needs a modern version.
Gosh, I keep flip flopping on wanting this. The CPU is absolutely fine for me. It's very similar to my current sd865 LG v60 phone. The "HDMI in" is pretty cool, but it seems like you are exchanging that for expandable storage and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Really rubs me raw about the exclusion of that expandable storage! You can always throw on a dongle, but there is no good reason to exclude micro SD card support except to upsale the higher storage option. Guess I would have to be picky about the games, music, and movies I would put on it. Just bought a 256gb micro SD for $16, gah!
HDMI in seems brilliant, especially with a display that size. I'm sad I missed the sale, or I'd pick one up in a heartbeat for emulation! As an aside: Can we get battery capacities measured in Watt-hours instead of milliamp-hours? That rating doesn't mean much without a voltage!
@@Hamox The battery voltage in most devices is actually somwhere around 3.8V. Even the charging voltage is lower, around 4.3V. So the 5V input from USB usually has to be stepped down internally before it reaches the battery.
I love this feature when it's in monitor mode. Just tap the screen and you'll have options for brightness as well as switching between 16:10/16:9 aspect ratio.
oh man, i already bought ipad... if i knew info earlier, i will waiting and buy this, i really need external monitor and tablet.. will be my beast setup with mac mini..
The android twitch app is brill for streaming. Can u imagine one day if the app can read the hdmi input? It will turn the tablet to a portable streamer!!! Great lil machine love that HDMI input. Heres hoping that this is the first of many. Gotto feeling this genius feature will be the first of a trendsetter of models and will be eventually as common as a camera in every smartphone. Well done lenovo u deserve every sale on this model. P.s great review.
Really reckon some tough, high bitrate, media playback benchmarks would be good for this. (both natively, and, say, from an external device, but I think the HDMI input is only 1.4) If there's a way of outputting that Dolby Vision licence to a DV OLED, this could genuinely be the world's best UHD 4K DV playback device given the Android OS. Things like some full DV UHD BR rips (FEL & MEL), high bitrate audio AND video samples from online, etc.
Is this the only tablet with HDMI input? This feature should be standard on large tablets. I want to use it with a very small tiny PC. So I could have both worlds.
this is really nice, part of me still wants to wait it out for a 1-200$ dip in the s8 ultra for the 15 inch screen and pen. I do like the HDMI input and probably would use it for my switch or steam deck but mainly would be a standalone device or a wireless monitor for the laptop
loving this tablet, bought because of your post. one problem was introduced in the newest update though. the sound now fluctuates constantly and dolby atmos cannot be turned off without headphones connected. hopefully there is a fix soon
also, I wish I could set the screen to a 1:1 pixel when connected through HDMI. if I want to do 1080p, it stretches it out instead of giving me black bars all around like I would prefer. at least give people the choice 😭
Did you detect any sort of input lag or response time issues when using this as a portable monitor? Curious how it fares compared to portable screens that talk about 3ms or 4ms response times, and if the fact it's doing this with Android under the hood adds any lag to the experience.
What live wallpaper was the first one? I really want it! The second one was nice too. I had the Lneovo Yoga 3 Plus from a few years ago. Before I finally settled on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ I was considering this. But my previous Yoga really became sluggish after about a years use, but that only had 3GB of memory. I'd hope this wouldn't have the same experience. I loved the screen and stand on it. I would have considered this one if Lenovo had better Android update support. Great review as always! Now someone please get me those live wallpapers haha.
Still waiting for global release....but I wish it was at the price you got. It's a steal as to compare with portable monitor Buying mainly cause it works as a 2nd monitor.
The only problem is no SD slot. Kinda defeats the purpose of emulating GC, DC and PS2 when you're stuck w/128gb. Even local media like video and music you'll struggle with data management. Otherwise it's amazing fir the price. Along with the HDMI In it has active stylus support so great for plugging into the PC as a drawing or editing tab.
I would have an instant buy on something like this if they integrated the Micro HDMI display capabilities into USB-C. Imagine being able to use the touchscreen of your Android tablet with a high quality pen!
Lenovo told me right, in that there's no video OUT right? There's a RUclipsr trying to say it does because it's USB 3.1. But never showed any evidence Even though they screwed some of their sales with no headphone jack, I'd almost consider it with native video out.
It's great and was debating it but will wait for the base ipad design refresh and use it as a third screen on my M1 Apple setup (unfortunately only one screen out unless you use sidecar on iPad).

Really reckon some tough, high bitrate, media playback benchmarks would be good for this. (both natively, and, say, from an external device, but I think the HDMI input is only 1.4)
If there's a way of outputting that Dolby Vision licence to a DV OLED, this could genuinely be the world's best UHD 4K DV playback device given the Android OS.
Things like some full DV UHD BR rips (FEL & MEL), high bitrate audio AND video samples from online, etc.
Is this the only tablet with HDMI input?
This feature should be standard on large tablets.
I want to use it with a very small tiny PC. So I could have both worlds.
So many use cases. Like you said, . . . if it's on sale. Thanks ETA.
this is really nice, part of me still wants to wait it out for a 1-200$ dip in the s8 ultra for the 15 inch screen and pen. I do like the HDMI input and probably would use it for my switch or steam deck but mainly would be a standalone device or a wireless monitor for the laptop
I wish it had usb-c as a display input too
loving this tablet, bought because of your post. one problem was introduced in the newest update though. the sound now fluctuates constantly and dolby atmos cannot be turned off without headphones connected. hopefully there is a fix soon
also, I wish I could set the screen to a 1:1 pixel when connected through HDMI. if I want to do 1080p, it stretches it out instead of giving me black bars all around like I would prefer. at least give people the choice 😭
Are you going to do a video to show the best way to set this tablet. I'm not a big gamer but like RUclips videos and photos.
Did you detect any sort of input lag or response time issues when using this as a portable monitor? Curious how it fares compared to portable screens that talk about 3ms or 4ms response times, and if the fact it's doing this with Android under the hood adds any lag to the experience.
Never not once have I seen any of these great deals at the actual great price not once
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
What live wallpaper was the first one? I really want it! The second one was nice too.
I had the Lneovo Yoga 3 Plus from a few years ago. Before I finally settled on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ I was considering this. But my previous Yoga really became sluggish after about a years use, but that only had 3GB of memory. I'd hope this wouldn't have the same experience. I loved the screen and stand on it. I would have considered this one if Lenovo had better Android update support. Great review as always! Now someone please get me those live wallpapers haha.
Still waiting for global release....but I wish it was at the price you got. It's a steal as to compare with portable monitor
Buying mainly cause it works as a 2nd monitor.
does it have the ability to read roms from an external hard drive via usb c like a launchbox or retroarch library?
This one is awesome. Just in time as I am looking for a good tablet I like the use as monitor feature.
Thanks ETA. Hoot!
nice review, does the yoga have some kind of desktop mode?
The only problem is no SD slot. Kinda defeats the purpose of emulating GC, DC and PS2 when you're stuck w/128gb. Even local media like video and music you'll struggle with data management. Otherwise it's amazing fir the price. Along with the HDMI In it has active stylus support so great for plugging into the PC as a drawing or editing tab.
Interested in more info on the live backgrounds you use.
Good review ❤❤
What about desktop mode on external display ?
Direct from Lenovo its $399.99 right now
Face reveal @ 9:10 😂
Keep up the good work! Fan of your videos
I would have an instant buy on something like this if they integrated the Micro HDMI display capabilities into USB-C. Imagine being able to use the touchscreen of your Android tablet with a high quality pen!
Like the Samsung tabs?
@@jd2161 Correction: to use the display connected to a computer with a stylus, like with a laptop.
I hope Oppo Pad comes to Europe. It's launched in China for 330 euro with Snapdragon 870, 120Hz LCD and quad speakers.
Lenovo told me right, in that there's no video OUT right?
There's a RUclipsr trying to say it does because it's USB 3.1. But never showed any evidence
Even though they screwed some of their sales with no headphone jack, I'd almost consider it with native video out.
It supports video out via the USB-C port. The micro HDMI is only for video in.
@@chrisdpratt Since its on best buy for 329 open box, I'm going to trust you.
Lenovo said NO, but eta and another youtuber said yes as well.
That's very cool for Android gaming x
It's great and was debating it but will wait for the base ipad design refresh and use it as a third screen on my M1 Apple setup (unfortunately only one screen out unless you use sidecar on iPad).
Quick face reveal at 9:08 handsome man!!!
