That's a major improvement from 2016's version that ran on an Intel Atom processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage-making it more of a tablet than a two-in-one in terms of productivity power.īut all those upgrades bring a higher price. It runs on either an Intel m3-7Y30 or Core i5-7Y54 processor, 4GB RAM, and up to 256GB storage, and it includes a fingerprint reader and a USB-C charging port. Instead of being just a design upgrade from the original, Lenovo turned the Yoga Book into a much more powerful machine. This setup lets you rotate the device into laptop, tablet, and other modes. The QHD touchscreen attaches to the E-ink panel with Lenovo's signature watchband hinge. The same can be done for mathematical equations that include numbers, symbols, and formulas. Lenovo briefly showed this off by writing a sentence on the E-ink panel and transferring it over to OneNote, where it was quickly converted to typed text.

The E-ink keyboard fills the entire screen when activated, and a small, square area at the bottom, directly underneath the space bar, brings up an E-ink trackpad when tapped. Lenovo abandoned the "halo" keyboard found on the last Yoga Book and replaced it with an E-ink slab that transforms from keyboard to sketch pad to e-reader. ![]() The company returns in 2018 with a new version still named the Yoga Book (officially it's the Yoga Book C930), but it now has an E-ink panel attached to the main touchscreen slab and powerful internals that kicked its price up by quite a bit. The netbook-like device that came out in 2016 was an acquired taste, to say the least, but it was also a chance for Lenovo to experiment with the traditional two-in-one form.
