The new tablet sports a 9.7-inch, IPS screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio and an iPad2-matching resolution of 1024x768. This obviously falls short of the new iPad's 2048x1536 resolution and even most Android tablets, which usually top out at 1280x800.
The S2109 includes micro USB, a microSD card slot, and a single 1.3-megapixel front camera. However, say what you will about its unibody design, 8.9mm thickness, or its purported 10 hour battery life, the most intriguing detail has to be its inclusion of quad speakers on the back.
All tablets include speakers -- usually one or two -- but by featuring four Lenovo is kind of raising my expectations of what I should expect from the tablet's audio capabilities. With most tablet reviews, evaluating tablet sound quality is honestly not first on my checklist, but with four whole speakers, I now expect to be impressed.
The Lenovo IdeaPad S2109 will ship with Android 4.0 installed. No word yet on when that shipment will take place or how much cash Lenovo will be requesting for it
