Lenovo’s latest high-end tablet is finally available in the US, and the company has jam-packed it with hardware that makes it versatile enough for all kinds of work. The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2, first unveiled at IFA 2026, is now on sale for $999.99 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

For that price, you get a 13-inch 4K display, a 12,700mAh battery, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. More importantly for anyone hoping to do some actual work on it, Lenovo includes the All-in-One Clamshell Keyboard and Tab Pen Pro 2 in the package.

A 4K screen and a battery bigger than most powerbanks

The headline hardware is a 13-inch PureSight Pro display with a 3840 x 2560 resolution, a 3:2 aspect ratio, and refresh rates up to 144Hz. Lenovo rates it at 1,100 nits of peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and Dolby Vision support. It is an LTPS LCD rather than an OLED panel, which is worth keeping in mind if you are comparing it with some of the most expensive tablets on the market.

The 12,700mAh battery is another major selling point, with support for 68W charging. Lenovo has also fitted six Harman Kardon speakers, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and a microSD slot supporting cards up to 2TB. The tablet weighs approximately 605 grams and measures 6.09mm thick, increasing to 8.27mm around the camera bump.

For power users or gamers, the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This isn’t the most powerful mobile chip from Qualcomm, with models like the OnePlus Pad 4 packing the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Lenovo’s accessories are part of the deal

The included keyboard and stylus give the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 a more complete productivity setup straight out of the box. A typical tablet purchase has you getting the device, but the accessories usually cost extra. So this is great for a person looking for a solution with a single purchase and not having to worry about finding 3rd party peripherals.

Lenovo’s pen supports 8,192 pressure levels, tilt detection, and palm rejection, while its gesture controls include squeezing to select and flipping the pen to erase. The tablet also includes Lenovo Qira and AI tools for note-taking, transcription, and creative work.

Software longevity is another welcome surprise. The tablet ships with Android 17, and Lenovo promises seven OS upgrades through Android 24, alongside security updates through 2033. As of right now, the US configuration is available from Lenovo.

The iPad is finally getting the Affinity app creatives have been asking for
Affinity brings photo editing, vector design, page layout, and sketching together in one free iPad app.
Affinity UI on iPad

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.

Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac
Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).

Apple will only give you the fastest iPad mini chip if you pay $999, or more
The full A20 Pro experience on Apple’s new iPad mini is reserved for buyers spending at least $999.
Apple iPad mini with 6-core CPU

Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.

The $999 model gets more than extra storage
