Lenovo's 10-inch IdeaTab S2 was one of the belles of its CES ball in offering a distinctly Transformer Pad-like
experience for those not beholden to ASUS' view of the world. While
there wasn't much attention given to the Android 4.0 tablet outside of
the FCC filing
we saw last month, it's getting its time to shine at last: the device
is now sitting on Lenovo's virtual shelves as the S2110. The 10.1-inch
slate's selling point remains its (strictly optional) keyboard dock,
which supplies a trackpad, an SD slot, USB and 10 extra hours of battery
life to keep that movie marathon going. Even if you have no intention
of constructing the Gobot to ASUS' Transformer original, though, the S2110 is still a big leap over the so-so S2109
from the spring. A 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon APQ8060A, a rear
5-megapixel camera and a landscape 1,280 x 800 screen are all incentives
to pay the premium over the S2110's budget predecessor. Not that there
will be much of a premium to pay -- despite setting a $449 official
price, Lenovo is already discounting the S2110 to as little as $343.
That's low enough to lure the cost-conscious away from the Transformer
Pad elephant in the room, even if it reminds us of relatives that always
bought us the cheaper robot toys when we were kids.
