There\u2019s an ingenious slide lever on the barrel of the projector to fine tune the focus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Yoga-Tablet-2-Pro-with-Jacuzzi-7190.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13069\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Yoga-Tablet-2-Pro-with-Jacuzzi-7190-600x450.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro projecting image on the wall\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Yoga-Tablet-2-Pro-with-Jacuzzi-7190.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Yoga-Tablet-2-Pro-with-Jacuzzi-7190.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Yoga-Tablet-2-Pro-with-Jacuzzi-7190.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Yoga-Tablet-2-Pro-with-Jacuzzi-7190.jpg?w=1706&amp;ssl=1 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Great battery life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any time I can get a tablet to last two or three days of intermittent usage without having to recharge it, I\u2019m sold.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t ever get the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lenovo.com\/battery-info\/\">15 hours Lenovo mentioned<\/a>, but I was almost always using the tablet at full brightness and wasn\u2019t trying to be conservative.
