Lenovo took the wraps off its newest editions to the Ideatab tablet lineup this morning, announcing the S2110, A2107, and A2109. All three tablets cater to a different niche, with the S2110 sporting a Transformer-like keyboard dock, the A2109 coming in at a very affordable price point, and the A2107 hitting the 7" slate market.

Ideatab S2110

The Ideatab S2110 is probably the most versatile of the bunch, thanks to its keyboard dock accessory. Much like the Transformer series, the dock sports a full-size USB port and SD card reader, as well as an internal battery that doubles the overall battery life of the tablet from 10 hours to 20.

Otherwise, the specs are pretty typical:

  • 10.1" 1280x800 IPS display
  • 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor
  • 1GB DDR2 RAM
  • 16GB or 32GB
  • microUSB, microHDMI
  • 5MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front-facing camera
  • Android 4.0

The Ideatab S2110 is available now for $400 without dock for the 16GB model and $429 for the 32GB model. The dock can be bundled with either tablet for an extra $100.

Ideatab A2109

If that model number sounds somewhat familiar, there's a good reason for that: Best Buy has been selling this little guy for a few days now. While this 9" slate comes it at a reasonable $300, its specs don't immediately scream "budget:"

  • 9" 1280x800 display
  • 1.2GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor
  • 1GB DDR3L RAM
  • 8GB or 16GB storage
  • microSD, microUSB, microHDMI
  • 3MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front-facing camera
  • 8 hour battery life
  • Android 4.0

The Ideatab A2109 is available now from Best Buy.

Ideatab A2107

If you're completely convinced that 9-10" is just too big for a tablet, then the A2107 may meet your needs. At 7" it's the smallest of the trio, and has meager specs to match:

  • 7" 1024x600 350 nit display
  • 1GHz Cortex A9 processor
  • 1GB DDR2 RAM (512MB for Wi-Fi models)
  • 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB storage options
  • microUSB, microSD card slot
  • 10 hour battery life
  • Android 4.0

Pricing isn't yet available for the A2107, though it will be available "later in 2012."
