Lenovo has recently unveiled their new Yoga Book and confirmed that the Chrome OS will be coming in the 2-in-1 device as revealed in the current IFA 2016 event in Berlin.
What makes the Lenovo Yoga Book highly wanted by most people is its technology that allows users to write and draw on one side of the device which is directly recorded and translated into a digital format. Users can jot down notes while in a lecture and it will automatically be converted to text that can be edited later on.
Artists can also draw using the Lenovo Yoga Book with many options in terms of the stylus's pressure and tip, Channel News has learned. Lenovo Marketing Director for Asia-Pacific region Nick Reynolds said that the device was designed for those users who have been accustomed to touch typing and drawing doodles on their smartphones and tablets.
Lenovo's Yoga Book does allow for more creativity compared to the current devices out in the market. Most tablets just have larger screens or better processors but they offer no innovation at all.
Yoga Book Campaign Manager Matt Lazare told TechRadar that their device would be able to carry Chrome OS, Android Marshmallow or Windows 10 down the line as the operating system of the tablet hybrid. Lazare added that more updates will be heard from Lenovo soon.
There are no comprehensive reviews yet regarding Lenovo's newest device but the hype is up in terms of its usability for artists or even architects. Lenovo Yoga Book could be used by engineers, architects or graphic designers for a quick sketch for their clients but the capabilities of the device have not been tested yet to the extreme.
Lenovo is already selling the Yoga Book with the Android Marshmallow and Windows 10 version. There is no word yet on the Chrome OS version which could be cheaper as hoped by some fans but there are no solid basis for the speculation.
Interested buyers can buy the Lenovo Yoga Book for $730 for the Windows 10 version and about $600 for the Android Marshmallow version. Chrome OS could come at a later date possibly by the end of the year or in early 2017.
