"The YOGA Tablet 2 13-inch has a stunning Quad HD (2560 x 1440)IPS display and comes powered by an Intel Atom processor. It also features cinematic Dolby Audio surround sound with a 5W subwoofer and a Wolfson Master HiFi CODEC chip that optimizes audio processing for studio-quality noise reduction.
