Also, to accommodate the size of the Yoga Book, the keyboard is on the small side, so that did result in more mistakes than I would make on a regular-sized deck.īut by far the biggest issue I had with the Halo keyboard is the narrowness of the trackpad. It's awkward to do when you're expecting the bounce of chiclet keys underneath your fingers and you feel nothing. In Settings, you can also turn on a rule that lets you double-tap the Shift key to turn caps-lock on (even though there is a caps-lock key on the board as well).
For example, to capitalize a letter, you still need to hold down the Shift key and press the desired letter while doing so.

It's like typing on a software keyboard without any of the flexibility that software keyboards provide. However, I definitely couldn't type at my normal speed on the Yoga Book. I also rejoiced to find two normal-sized Shift keys on either side of the deck, which is something I missed on the $1,599 Yoga 910. I do like the layout of the keyboard: it's mostly standard, excepting a huge backspace button at the top-right corner.

You can buy the Yoga Book running Windows 10 or Android 6.0 (sorry, no Nougat yet), and the price varies slightly in each model: the Android version is $499 while the Windows version is $549. That's another reason why the Yoga Book leans more toward the tablet-side of the spectrum. Unfortunately this device doesn't have a USB Type-C port, nor do you get as many connectivity options as you would with a traditional convertible like the $1,029 Lenovo ThinkPad X1. On the slim sides of the Yoga Book are the power button, speaker grill, volume rocker, and headphone jack (right side), as well as the microUSB charging port, microHDMI port, and microSD card slot (left side). The Yoga Book's display is a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200-resolution IPS touchscreen that can reach up to 400 nits of brightness. You can also just place any old sheet of paper on top of the keyboard and draw on it while it gets backed up by the digitizer. When you run out of paper, you can add more A5-sized paper and continue to have physical and digital notes. You can use the ink refills for the Real Pen to write on the paper and have those notes digitized, thanks to the Create Pad technology. This is a magnetic board that fits over the keyboard and has dotted A5-sized paper in it. We'll get into the Create Pad technology in its own section below, but the Yoga Book also comes with an additional attachment called the Book Pad. The keyboard also doubles as a Wacom digitizer, allowing you to use the Real Pen and the new Create Pad with it to draw and scribble on the screen. There are no physical buttons or keys on it when you power up the Yoga Book, the backlight illuminates the outlines of traditional keys and the trackpad, almost like drawing lines in the sand with light.

Specs at a glance: Lenovo Yoga Book (as reviewed) It's more like a tablet that, instead of having a detachable keyboard or a folio case, has a slim slab attached to it. It is a convertible, however when I first unboxed the Yoga Book, its appearance struck me so much that it was hard to place it in the convertible category in my head. Adding to that svelte profile is the matte magnesium alloy shell and Lenovo-signature watchband hinge.

Its 10.1-inch size, 1.5-pound weight, and 9.6mm thickness when closed makes it an incredibly light and portable device. The Yoga Book is the most tablet-like two-in-one I've ever held. But like so many convertibles, the Yoga Book tries so hard to be all things to all people that it doesn't truly excel in any one area. The Yoga Book also comes with Lenovo's Real Pen and a magnetic pad of paper, allowing you to draw both on the keyboard itself and on paper to digitize notes and artwork. While the display-bearing tablet slab is familiar, the connected keyboard with no keys is unique. Starting at $499, the Yoga Book comes in Android and Windows versions, allowing you to choose your experience with it. However, no matter which operating system you choose, the design remains the most appealing thing about the device. I like to describe it as a device the size of a netbook with the design of a convertible and the attitude of a stylus-equipped tablet.
Lenovo made a unique device with the new Yoga Book.
