Last night, Lenovo revealed the Yoga tablet to a packed audience in Los Angeles. Taking inspiration from their line of laptops, the tablet has a cylindrical handle which allows for different modes. For example, the “hold” mode can turn the handle for a comfortable grip when reading ebooks or be adjusted to launch a kickstand while watching movies.
