Lenovo tries again with the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ with improved specs, coming in April for $349 (hands-on)

The best thing about the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 and 10 were their impressively long-lasting batteries. As for performance and value, well let's just say the tablets struggled to justify their respective prices. The new Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, however, at least attempts to offer something better. At least on paper.
he new tablet follows nearly the exact design as its elders, featuring a similarly thin aluminum body that leads to a cylindrical edge. The offbeat layout gives the tablets a well-weighted comfortable feel. Akin to folding back the pages of a magazine and holding it in one hand.
The tablet feels light and sturdy in my hands and thanks to the now longer kickstand, it stands more confidently and assuredly when placed in its vertical position. The longer kickstand gives you a higher angle when typing in horizontal mode compared to the previous Yoga 10-inch. As for aesthetic changes, in addition to the original silver, the new tablet is available in champagne gold.
