Lenovo Reveals the Yoga Book in India

Yoga Book re-examines the roles of a Laptop and a Tablet, with Never-Before-Seen features like Instant Halo Keyboard, Dual-Use Stylus and Book UI

  • The Yoga Book is built keeping in mind the trends in computing and mobility needs of the on-the-go consumer
  • It hits the sweet spot between content creation and consumption, thus building on the limitations of a tablet as well as a laptop
  • The Yoga Book’s halo keyboard feature weaves software and hardware into one interface, allowing for a typing experience that far surpasses conventional tablets and matches that of physical keyboards
  • Drawing inspiration from the elegance and simplicity of notebooks, the Yoga Book’s real-pen accessory allows users to write and draw with pen and paper while instantly digitizing their notes and sketches
  • The Yoga Book’s thin and light design, 13-hour battery life and 360-degree watchband hinge gives its user the freedom to write and draw anywhere, matching the mobility of a smartphone and the versatility of a laptop
  • The Yoga Book comes with Windows 10 Pro with 4G SIM connectivity & 4GB RAM and will be exclusively available on Flipkart for INR 49,990/-

lenovo Yogabook

 

Lenovo today launched the Yoga Book, the world’s thinnest and lightest 2-in-1 in India. Designed for on-the-go users, the Yoga Book is built for mobility while not compromising on productivity. The Yoga Book is a result of a fresh look at the changing needs of consumers, without being limited by the constraint of fitting these needs in any particular form factor. Therefore, it actually builds on the limitations of a tablet as well as a laptop and gives the perfect blend of content creation and consumption capabilities. The result is a seamless blend of creativity, productivity, mobility and entertainment through a suite of new hardware and software features, including:

  • The instant halo keyboard
  • The dual-use stylus that writes on paper and screen
  • The productivity-driven Book UI

Yoga book

 

Based on Lenovo’s internal analysis as of 8/18/16 of 25 cm or greater 2-in-1 computers (sold with keyboard) using Windows, Android, Chrome or OSX sold by major competitors shipping >1 million units worldwide annually; measured with keyboard attached in closed position.

Ultra-Thin and Light

With two panels that open up like an ultrathin notebook, the Yoga Book is unconventionally slender and light years removed from any device that you’re accustomed to using on the go or while sitting in your home. As the world’s thinnest 2-in-1, the Yoga Book is 9.6mm closed, tapering to 4.05mm at its slimmest edge – a thickness of just under three pennies. And because it’s also the lightest 2-in-1 in the world at 690 grams (1.52 pounds), the Yoga Book is made to match the mobility of a smartphone, so you can easily hold and carry, just like a book. Users who take the Yoga Book with them on day trips have the option to work anywhere – on a busy commute, in a packed waiting room or on a crowded countertop – if and when they feel like it, thanks to the thin and light design, 13-hour[1][ battery life and a watchband hinge that folds 360 degrees. And if users don’t feel like working, they’ll have a top-of-the-line entertainment tablet to keep them company, with a 25.7 cm IPS FHD screen, high-quality sound enhanced with Dolby Audio™ Premium and 64GB of memory.

Yoga book

Instant Halo Keyboard

The Yoga Book’s first productivity feature is also what makes the thin and light design possible: the halo keyboard, a full touch screen backlit keyboard that weaves software and hardware into one fluid interface. The touch screen is made with glass that was meticulously chosen to give a rough, matte feel and finish, along with anti-glare coating to ensure the best possible touch-typing experience. The keyboard lacks any physical keys, showing up as a solid white outline on the Yoga Book’s second panel only when it’s needed. The halo keyboard constantly ‘learns about and adapts to’ the typing habits of its user, with built-in prediction and artificial learning software. This software also allows for continuous optimization. Along with built-in, sensitive haptic technology, which enables touch feedback to guide typing and reduce mistakes, the halo keyboard far surpasses the typing experience and speed of a normal tablet, and is comparable with that of a physical keyboard.

Lenovo Yoga book

Real-Pen Accessory – Dual Use Stylus

The flush surface of the halo keyboard feature also allows for a few additional uses when paired with the Yoga Book’s standard real-pen accessory, a dual-use stylus. Inspired by the elegance and simplicity of real notebooks, Yoga Book is an acknowledgement that we all still love to write and draw on paper. Users can now write with the real-pen accessory that holds real ink tips onto a piece of paper or notepad covering the multi-use keyboard panel, or as a stylus when applied straight onto the panel. Everything they create, from doodles and drawings to notes, is instantly digitized and saved with the OneNote app available on Yoga Book with Windows. Roughly the size of a conventional ink pen, the real-pen accessory is powered by Wacom feel™ IT technologies to work with the state-of-the-art electromagnetic resonance (EMR) film housed within the multi-use keyboard, which enables this real-time digitization.

Yogabook

The multi-use keyboard and real-pen accessory recreate the natural feel of drawing flat on a paper surface instead of directly onto a computer screen, without having to block parts of the art work with the hand or stylus. Or you can draw directly on the screen as well, depending on preference. The real-pen accessory can draw with the precision of a pencil or paintbrush, with 2,048 pressure levels and 100-degree angle detection. In addition, you’ll never have to charge or replace it – the real-pen accessory doesn’t require batteries and its ink can be replaced with standard ink tips, just like that of a conventional pen.

Book UI and Hinge

As a 2-in-1 that weaves together both hardware and software, Yoga Book truly brings work and play into one device through the Book UI. The Book UI allows several apps to run at once through multiple windows that can be pinned, maximized or minimized, as well as a taskbar that keeps track of your apps and common Windows keyboard shortcuts and action keys. This additional new workload is easily handled by the Yoga Book’s powerful Intel® Atom™ X5 processor and 4GB of memory. And Windows users also have the option to work on that platform, as the Yoga Book is available on Windows 10 Pro.

Yoga book

Constructed from a combination of magnesium and aluminium alloys, the Yoga Book is robust in build and guaranteed to turn heads. As with all Yoga products, it has the distinctive watchband-style hinge. This time, the hinge is engineered to be smaller and features a custom-made three-axis hinge, with 130 different mechanical pieces comprising five different materials. Lab tested more than 25,000 times, the Yoga Book form offers a smooth, seamless transition between the four modes – Browse, Watch, Create and Type. The Yoga Book with Windows is available in Carbon Black.
