Lenovo Yoga Book - Tablet, Laptop, Sketchpad and Notebook

We've been investigating the tablet that's been causing a stir, the Lenovo Yoga Book. Lenovo have gained a reputation for reinventing everyday tech, and this tablet looks set to continue the trend.

It's most prominent feature, outside of the watchband hinge that we've become accustomed to, is the lack of a keyboard. Instead of the physical version, you can set one of the screens to Lenovo's 'active' keyboard.

Dave Kennedy, an avid Lenovo enthusiast, says, 'The keyboard uses haptic feedback. When you tap a key you get a 'response' from the tablet, so it feels like you're tapping a physical keyboard rather than glass.'

The keyboard is also adaptive, which means it works like predictive text. It will remember which words you frequently mistype, learn your common miskeys and automatically correct them for you.


As with traditional tablets, you can write on the screen using a stylus - but Lenovo have made some developments here too. One side of the Yoga Book has 2048 pressure points, so the stylus feels like a real pen. 

'There's no pressure sensitivity on most tablets,' says Dave. 'On some you might as well be writing with your finger. But this works like a graphics tablet - and you can see everything you're drawing, so you don't need to move your elbow.'
 
Lenovo haven't stopped there. Users can also rest a real pad of paper on one side of the tablet, take physical notes with ink, and the Yoga Book will record a digital copy of anything written on the paper.



Dave says, 'Writing on a screen can take a long time to get used to - but with the Yoga Book users can still write on paper and get a digital copy of their notes. It works with Microsoft OneNote, which converts your handwriting into text as you're writing, or after the fact.'

'You can also be writing notes on one side of the Yoga Book, and looking at a web page on the other screen simultaneously. Your notes won't get in the way of the screen, and vice versa.'

'It's more than just a series of cool features - the Lenovo Yoga Book is bridging the gap between tablets, which people tend to use for leisure, and laptops, which people tend to use for work.'

'We change what we're doing all the time, so it makes sense that our equipment should be able to change too. It'll either be a terrible failure, or every manufacturer will start making them.'
