Lenovo has had a busy morning today as the company brought in the high concept Yoga Book as well as the entire Phab 2 series of smartphones.
We begin with the Yoga Book, a 2-in-1 whose biggest feature is the Halo Keyboard, a keyboard that can be turned on or off with the touch of a button. When in use, the Halo Keyboard comes with haptic feedback that informs the user if they keystroke is registered. Additionally, the Yoga Book also supports predictive typing. Once the keyboard is toggled off, the surface turns into a tablet. The Yoga Book comes with the Real Pen, a dual-use stylus that can be used to take notes or sketch, with every action appearing on the screen itself.
As for specifications, the Yoga Book sports an Intel Atom x5-z8550 processor, 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 64GB of onboard storage, an 8MP rear camera, a 2MP front camera, and an 8.500 mAh battery that translates to a 15-hour battery life.
