Lenovo May have a Hit on it's Hands

The word 'innovative' is used too often to describe tech that's supposed to be groundbreaking but usually falls short in the end but Lenovo may have hit the nail on the head with it's upcoming Yoga Book!

The device is a 10 inch tablet/laptop hybrid that transforms between the two form factors by way of Lenovo's patented 'Yoga' hinge design. The real innovation comes in to play with them replacing a physical keyboard with a virtual model dubbed 'Halo'. And to make matters even better, you can click a button to convert the keyboard to a drawing pad. Ok, that's cool you may say but to take it up yet another notch, you can add a physical sheet of paper to the pad and write on it to simultaneously convert your written notes to digital. Finally, did I mention that the pen comes with the device? Battery life is between 10 and 15 hours and the Yoga Book will come with either Android 6 (Marshmellow) or Windows 10.

Cost: starting at $499 or $549

P. S. An LTE model will be available as well in select markets

Now this is the type of new tech I consider worthy of the title 'innovative'; Lenovo may have a hit on it's hands.
