The iPad may be the best-known and best-selling tablet around, but Lenovo's new Yoga tablet could teach the company a thing or two.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad notebooks are the laptops Mac users would buy if they had to use Windows. Beautiful hardware that’s well-built and looks good. And the same goes for tablets versus the iPad. The new Lenovo Tab Extreme is a great example. It looks a lot like the iPad Pro, down to the cantilever keyboard and trackpad enclosure, but it offers several features that iPad users would love to get their hands on.

"It's definitely time that Apple's iPad gets a contender, because there just hasn't been one that has inspired any new design or development," Kyle MacDonald, VP at mobile device implementation company Mojio, told Lifewire via email. "The single most important feature that Apple should be working towards implementing in their iPads is definitely dual USB ports, maybe one on each side."

One of the dangers of undisputed success is that you get lazy. Consider the difference between the iPhone, which is locked in a death race with Android, and the iPad, which has dominated the market since day one. The iPhone continues to add great software features like Dynamic Island, and the camera gets noticeably better every year.
