Not content with launching five Yoga-branded tablets earlier this month, Lenovo has added a sixth device to its range.
The new device almost rounds out the range announced before. The new lineup has 8-inch and 10-inch tablets in both Android and Windows variants, and a 13-inch Android tablet, the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, that also includes an integrated projector that can cast a 50-inch picture.

Today, the company has announced a 13-inch Windows tablet, the Yoga Tablet 2 Windows. This is almost a counterpart to the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, matching its 13.3 inch 2560×1440 screen, quad core Intel Atom Z3745 processor at up to 1.86GHz, 802.11a/b/g/n dual-band Wi-Fi, 15-hour battery life, and a 2.27lb weight. But it's not quite identical. The Windows tablet doesn't have the integrated projector. It does, however, double the RAM to 4GB and double the storage to 64GB.
As with the Windows versions of the smaller tablets, the tablet also has a slimline keyboard accessory that includes a trackpad, for when touch doesn't cut it.
The device will be available in November, with prices starting at $699.99.

Mind over matter my friend. Anything is possible.
In what world do you live in? I run Visual Studio on my Surface Pro 3 with "only" 8GB of RAM all day just fine.
Now granted, I would not complain if they offered a super-premium version with that much RAM, but I certainly wouldn't buy it.

Yeah. I'm a pretty heavy user and my *desktop* workstation only has 12 GB, and I just checked... with everything running I normally have, I'm only using 5.45GB of that, excluding a few gigs of filesystem cache that the OS wouldn't have setup if I had less RAM. And filesystem caching is pretty pointless since I have a fast SSD.
Uses the standard Yoga rolling stand design. They are interesting designs to say the least, and I don't think the loss of a projector hurts this at all.
As for the 16GB RAM post above, this is an Atom tablet. Not for power users.

Indeed. I was pleased to see it had 4Gb, not the usual 2Gb atoms get. Shame about the price, be mighty tempting otherwise.
Do not, under any circumstance, sell yourself short! Unfortunately, there are just way more than enough people who will delight in handling that task for you!
Short of inventing some amazing wireless power stuff I'm going to guess no - since it doesn't attach (except by using it as a case, by the looks of things). Probably your stock standard bluetooth keyboard.
Naturally, within a month of doing so the Windows tablets in the same size class start arriving.
The product category is still not quite there though - all these hybrid products have the same feel of those early laptops, that were briefcase sized. Close but no cigar.
The introduction of Intel's broadwell chips next year should boost it significantly though, given the major power usage benefits it's expected to bring.
Once we get similar products with i5 class CPUs, 1440p and one workday battery life, I can see these replacing a lot of laptops & tablets.
