Lenovo brought a new tablet at CES, the latest Lenovo 8-incher boasts the company’s new, and profoundly amusing AnyPen Technology among its spec sheet full of top-shelf hardware.
AnyPen lets you treat any metal object in your surroundings as a improvised stylus and draw on the device’s 1080p 8-inch IPS touchscreen. A ballpoint pen, a knife, a fork – things you normally wouldn’t let anywhere near a tablet now become temporary replacements for the stylus you lost moments ago, for the n-th time today.
In addition to the AnyPen wizardry, the Windows 8.1-powered YOGA Tablet 2 offers a 64-bit Intel Atom quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM with 32GB of internal storage, stereo speakers with Dolby Audio and Wolfson amplification, an 8MP auto-focus main camera, a 1.6MP front cam, and is powered by a 6400mAh non-removable battery. By the way, battery life is rated at up to 15 hours! The tab measures a compact 8.3 x 5.9 x 0.1in and weights 0.94lb.
Price & shipping are set at a comfortable “$299, January 2015”.
