I hope this is really popular, and shows people how good portable projection can be, because Microvision's projector is FAR better than what Lenovo is offering here.

Essentially, this projector has half the horizontal resolution and probably half the lumens of the Sony PicoP engine.

From MacRumors...

And with the projector, users don't need to look for an HDMI cord or use AirPlay, because there's a built-in 50-inch screen.

"I will be really surprised if they[Apple] launch anything that approaches what we have here.

I wouldn't be surprised if they out-do you significantly!

From The Wall Street Journal...

"The first thing I did was go to China to sit down with the team and brainstorm. We felt it was really important with the product to build something that consumers want. We found out that consumers were primarily using it in the home and primarily for entertainment to watch TV and movies."

But the really exciting thing we built in is the projector. Instead of digging for an HDMI cord or AirPlay or Chromecast or some crap—you’ve got a built-in 50-inch screen.

And THAT, readers, is why PicoP WILL be a wild success!

Projector-Packing Yoga Tablet 2 Pro

All three Yoga Tablets are based on the same Intel foundation, a quad-core Atom Z3745 chip to be more specific. The tapered design with a bulbous end and built-in, swivel-out kickstand remains virtually unchanged. It still requires a bit of force to twist out, but holds an endless array of positions and orientations with ease. One new addition to all three is a punched-out hole in the kickstand that lets you easily hang the tablet, granted you have a sturdy hook or nail handy.

Both the 8- and 10-inch model feature full HD resolution LCDs, ported speakers under the display, and 8-megapixel rear-facing cameras. They'll also run Android 4.4 out of the box, and Lenovo promises up to 18 hours of battery life. We'll put that claim to the test when we get the tablets into our labs.

But you didn't come for the 8- and 10-inch models—the audaciously large 13-inch Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is the headliner here. The expansive display touts UHD resolution and Lenovo added 8-watt speakers and a JBL subwoofer for powerful audio performance. Those alone are potent multimedia features, but Lenovo takes things one step further with a crazy, built-in pico projector. The DLP chip pumps out 40-50 lumens with a native WGA resolution, which Lenovo claims is good for a 50-inch projected image. While far from HD, the projected videos in our demo looked good with the lights off, and the tablet's speakers were impressive, even though they predictably lacked the oomph of a proper set.

The 13-inch model starts at $499 with 32GB of internal storage, which is an aggressive price point considering the features. The 8- and 10-inch models will start at $249 and $299, respectively. Stay tuned for full reviews once we have a chance to test the trio in our labs.
