So the Lenovo Yoga Book is like Wacom tablet meets laptop, meets tablet, meets the future.

Lenovo has unveiled the Yoga Book, a 2-in-1 design with a unique touch-based lower half below a conventional 1920×1200 IPS touch display. Lenovo has also embedded an advanced fingerprint reader into the Yoga 910, so users can quickly log onto their PC using Windows Hello. An initial (very brief) hands-on with the Yoga Book’s Instant Halo Keyboard suggested a typing experience that will take some getting used to, especially if you’re coming from a traditional desktop keyboard.
The next device Lenovo is going to release will be called Yoga Book and it will actually be a sleek laptop that can be folded.
The Yoga Book also boasts a 15-hour battery life, a 1080p display, 64GB of storage and Dolby Atmos speakers. The Yoga Book will appear in two flavours, a $US500 ($665) Android version and $US550 ($732) Windows 10 version.
Miix 510 is the latest Windows detachable that gives you a keyboard when you want it, and the freedom to leave it behind when you are on the go. We came from a smartphone and tablet mindset with a touch keyboard and Android.
Standing out from the crowd though is the Yoga Book’s party trick which sees what would be the keyboard surface on a laptop transformed into a touch-sensitive “surface” which can be a keyboard – but can also be a touch surface.
You can even switch the stylus tip with a regular ink version, and Lenovo is throwing in a notepad that attaches magnetically to the Yoga Book.
Users can then use the converted surface to draw with the included stylus or have the tablet copy handwritten notes by placing paper on top of the panel. Only it’s a little nicer because the keyboard is separated from the display, so it doesn’t suck up screen real estate, and it has a pleasantly rough texture.
Lenovo has a back to school surprise at IFA that promises to be one of the most backpack-friendly laptops they’ve ever made.
Moving on, the Lenovo Book comes powered by a quad-core Intel Atom x5 processor clocked at 2.4GHz and is paired with a 4GB of RAM. It has a 7th generation Intel processor. What makes this tablet so special?

Users looking to upgrade can also opt for a 4K version, which comes in at an impressive 3,840-by-2,160.
