Projections on a tablet

PERFECT FOR THE BUSY salesman needing to make presentations at a moment's notice, Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro is a powerful 10.1-inch tablet computer with a built-in DLP projector and a sturdy construction.

The projector has 50 lumen output and can easily project an image of up to 178 centimetres on any wall or ceiling.

The Yoga Tab 3 Pro is powered by Intel Atom x5-Z8500 processor running at 2.24 GHz. It has 2 gigabytes working memory or RAM and 32 GB internal storage, which can be expanded with a micro-SD card up to 128 GB. The tablet operates on Android 5.1 operating system.

The model sent for testing had neither mobile Internet connection nor a SIM slot. It did however support a Wi-Fi connection of 802.11 ac - the fastest Wi-Fi protocol - and I had no problem connecting it my Linksys WRT1200AC.

The tablet has a durable metal chassis with a faux-leather finish at the back, making it comfortable to hold. As part of its durable design, the Yoga Tab 3 Pro is also splash-proof and has IP21 certification to prove it.

The tablet has an high-resolution IPS panel display of 16:10 ratio with 2,560x1,600-pixel resolution, making it good for viewing HD photos and watching HD video clips.

Movies sound impressive too thanks to the four integrated front-facing JBL speakers and Dolby Atmos sound technology that delivers loud, clear and dynamic audio without the need for headphones.

To enjoy big-screen HD movies, just turn on the tablet's projector and show the movie on your wall or ceiling. You'll find the projector button on one side of the tablet's hinge.

Best of all, the projector has an automatic keystone correction function that can make the projected image rectangular instead of trapezoid-shaped.

And the tablet has a Smart Sidebar function that allows you to adjust various functions of the projector including focus, the display modes of Vibrant, Standard or Reading and audio modes of music, movie or game.

During the test, I found that the Tab 3 Pro projected sharp and colourful pictures showing them clearly even in a bright room during the day though admittedly looking much more impressive in a dark room at night.

The tablet can be used in four modes - Hold, Tilt, Stand and Hang. The Hold mode involves clasping the hinge in your hand and using the tablet in vertical orientation. When you extend the stand and place the tablet on it, it's perfect for presentations or watching movies. When you place the tablet on the table on its back cover with the hinge pointing outwards, it foes into tilt mode.

The projector, which is built into the hinge, can be rotated to project the picture forward to the wall or rotated to the front to project the picture to the ceiling.

Yoga Tab 3 Pro has good performance. During the test, I could run various applications smoothly and games played without hiccups. Movie clips and YouTube clips played smoothly too.

Yoga Tab 3 Pro uses AnyPen technology that allows you to use any conductive object as a stylus pen for taking notes and sketching.

The tablet also comes with a useful Sketchpad and boasts two cameras: a 13-megapixel main camera and 5 MP front-facing camera, both of good quality for a mobile device.

Since the projector eats up the battery, Yoga Tab 3 Pro has a large capacity battery of 10,200 mAh. One full charge allows the tablet to be used for up to 18 hours.

Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro has a suggested retail price of Bt22,990.
