My favorite part of the keyboard - because I love irony in the modern sense - is that they drew in the nubs on the F and J keys meant to provide placement indicators for touch typists. It is essentially like providing a picture of braille.
Ya know, this is a great competitor to the Pixel C tablet. In my opinion this tackles the productivity tablet market much better than the C. great stuff
P.s. doesn't that pad thing work with ANY piece of paper and any pencil? So you can write notes in your regular notebook and you have an instant digital copy? I would have loved to see that
Hi thanks for the awesome review! Would you recommend getting the windows version for college students for doing presentations, basic microsoft office programs etc?
Any idea when Intel dropped the Atom CPUs? Or should I ask when will Intel be dropping the Atom CPUs? Seams like a lot of companies are still using them since I first heard about Intel dropping them 6 months or so ago! Rick
Great video again Lon but I do remember another reviewer saying the pen has ~2000 levels of pressure detection and the official Yoga book website states "The Real Pen detects 2,048 levels of pressure" so maybe the app you used doesn't support it?...
It's Lenovo's app and I didn't see that large of range of pressure detection. It's possible the app just doesn't support that level of detail but the pen does. I'm eager to try the Windows version to see how it compares vs. a wacom tablet.
I have a Yoga 2 Pro, which I bought 2 years ago. It has an i7 and like you said. It's a fantastic notebook but as soon as you go into tablet mode it slows way down for some reason that is still not really clear to me.
speaking of any pen are you thinking about looking at the stylus pen that works with any touch screen. I forgot what it's called but it's said to have a finer point and use electricity to make it detectible by capacity touchscreens
Brilliant idea, though it has only 64 GB internal storage and MS somewhere says you need 20 GB just for your basic system. That'll balloon to anything like 40 GB soon when updates roll in, and "clean up system files" can't reclaim some of that space. So you might have to budget for 40 GB win/24 GB Remix OS and see how far it gets you. Drawing and note-taking mode will probably just not work on Remix OS, could be tied to some Lenovo apps and maybe drivers. Perhaps asking around on the Remix OS forums would be cool forum.xda-developers.com/remix
Does it perform handwriting recognition well for note taking? In multiple languages? I love the idea of taking notes with ink, but I would like it converted to correctable typed characters and I take notes in multiple languages.
If this had USB Type C instead of micro usb i would have already purchased one of these. as it doesn't i wont be buying it and will wait for the next version
I am 100% sure Lenovo will abandon this Android device in a year or so. New security threats emerge so often, without security patches the device becomes virtually useless. If the hardware of this Android version and Windows version is the same, can we install other OS (Windows/Linux) on this Android version?
Hi Lon. Great video as always! I'd like to suggest you to review a quite interesting peace of hardware from aliexpress. It could be the new king of the mini PCs. I know it's a bit pricey but I'd love to see a review on it. www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-High-Grade-6th-Gen-Skylake-Windows-Mini-PC-Intel-Core-i7-6500U-Max-3-1GHz/32754258293.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4,searchweb201603_8&btsid=ca4fbc7c-665e-44b9-bd3b-32e65de64c6b/ or in case the link gets blocked then type "2016 High Grade 6th Gen Skylake Windows Mini PC" it features a skylake CPU and so on, but what really gets me is the ultra slim design!

+thelastmike I was thinking the same thing!

It should work with any paper but you need to use their pen.
Lon.TV could you play online games like on a laptop. games like the online version of animal jam???
Wrong, mostly most PC Digitizer work on the Halo Screen!
This is a really nice looking device, I hope it's style takes off.
good tip on the non-tactile keyboard. need to try this out.
yes I have been waiting for this review!!!!

I want something like this but with a real keyboard. Suggestions please?
If you are an artist can you transfer notes and/or drawing that have already been made without the pen?
...Why not just put the digitizer under the screen?
Can I open illustration in yoga book pls help ?
hi sir how l can use @ on the lenovo goga book 2 in 1 , l can t esu way how l can use
I wonder if the Windows version will be reviewed as well. Would be interesting to see how this would do with Minecraft. :)
Stewart Bruce I've seen a review, but Lon's Minecraft test is something of an institution.
wonder how long the hinge will last...
can you change keyboard layout as a dj or music pads for making music on there?
could you play the online version of animal jam on the Android version???????
Lon.TV can you do a review on the yoga book a12
getting the windows version and dual booting with remix os? good idea?

That's what im about to do as well.
Does it perform handwriting recognition well for note taking? In multiple languages?
I love the idea of taking notes with ink, but I would like it converted to correctable typed characters and I take notes in multiple languages.
Just saw another review using an app called Smart Note! Exactly what I am looking for!
Why do every laptop channels get the android version?!?!
If this had USB Type C instead of micro usb i would have already purchased one of these. as it doesn't i wont be buying it and will wait for the next version
You could buy the Windows version, and then install Remix OS. Problem solved!
You know, that's an interesting device. Shame it's Android 6.0, wonder why it's not nougat.

I hear the keyboard thing in all the reviews yet people type on glass on tablets ....im typing on a digital keyboard now lol
