In a more demanding video rundown test I wasn’t able to achieve that level of stamina, but the Yoga Tab Pro 3 did last 11hrs 55mins, which is a reasonably good showing.īenchmarks, however, only tell part of the story, and it quickly became apparent that in real world use, Lenovo’s Android skin, which sits on top of the otherwise perfectly capable Android 5.1, was holding the tablet back. It houses the tablet’s enormous 10,200mAh battery, which Lenovo says will deliver battery life of up to 18 hours continuous use, while reading. The cylindrical spine has a third purpose beyond housing the projector and hinge mechanism, however. The spine also provides a secure grip by which to hold the tablet, and the hole in the stand’s centre even allows it to be hung from a hook and used as a picture frame, although I can’t see this being a particularly common scenario.

You can prop it up at a shallow angle for easy typing, or at a steep angle for more comfortable movie watching. Wrapped around the slender, cylindrical spine that runs along one of the tablet’s long edges, this unlatches from the rear at the click of a button and rotates stiffly outwards, allowing the tablet to be propped up at a range of different angles. The Yoga Tab 3 Pro’s second trademark feature is its built-in kickstand.

It is smaller than its predecessor, with a 10.1in screen instead of 13.3in, and this means it’s both more lightweight and more portable. Still, there aren’t too many other products that will let you watch movies on a 70in screen while lying flat on your back in hotel room, and the hardware elsewhere is decent enough.

This isn’t too much of a problem while watching movies or TV shows but if you’re thinking of using it for presentations, be warned: it won’t present your sales pitch in the most professional of light. Its other weakness surrounds its optics: despite endlessly fiddling with the focus control, I was never able to eliminate a slight softness to the image. In practical terms, that means you’ll need to dim the lights and draw the blinds to get a usable image out of it, and if you want to enjoy watching a movie on Netflix, be prepared to switch off the lights entirely. As with many other pocket or “pico” projectors, its brightness output is limited to a mere 50 lumens next to even the cheapest meeting room projectors, which are typically rated at around 3,000 lumens, it’s pathetically dim. The key question here surrounds the quality of the projector itself, and on this front the Yoga Tab 3 Pro fails to convince. Automatic keystoning ensures the image always looks rectangular on the wall or ceiling, and the software-driven focus control works well. So, Netflix comes pre-installed (although you’ll still need to add your account details), and Lenovo has certainly thought through the practicalities. I can hear the howls of the derision already, so the next question I’m going to answer is why? Why on earth would you want to do such a thing? Well, despite the “Pro” moniker, Lenovo seemingly doesn’t see customers using it for presentations instead, its tagline for the tablet is the “Ultimate video tablet, optimised for Netflix”.
