MWC 2016: Lenovo unveils Windows 10 tablet and Yoga laptops
Barcelona: Lenovo introduced two new consumer Windows 10 PCs: YOGA 710 and 5101 convertible laptops and the ideapad MIIX 310 2-in-1 detachable tablet. Lenovo stated that they recognize consumers’ need to work on multiple devices for different tasks. For example, they may text on a smartphone, work on a laptop, and read on a tablet. That’s why they have designed each of their new devices to either convert or detach into tablet mode, so users can do more with the comfort of typing on a keyboard and the power of Intel processors, while giving them long battery life to leave the power cord at home.
The compact YOGA 710 gets work done on the go:
The 11-inch YOGA 710 for travellers and mobile workers are productive on the road. Powered by a 6th Gen Intel Core i7 processor on the 14-inch model and up to Core m5 processor on the smaller 11-inch model, the YOGA 710 comes with Windows 10 and is one of the most powerful and portable convertible laptops available. Users can multitask seamlessly between videoconferencing, emailing and editing photos on the go. Weighing 1.04kg, its compact size and ability to convert into a tablet make it ideal for people looking to save space in their bags.
The YOGA 710 can flex into four modes that make it easy to type in laptop mode, present in stand mode, watch videos in tent mode, or browse in tablet mode. Its bigger sibling, the 14-inch model, fits those looking for improved connectivity, via an innovative hinge antenna that delivers up to 20 percent better Wi-Fi connections than before.
The 14-inch YOGA 710 also has an up to 256GB solid state drive (SSD) for fast access to movies, pictures, and files without having to use an external hard drive. It also has enhanced performance with optional next generation NVIDIA GeForce graphics.
Slim and light, both models offer up to 8 hours of battery so users can enjoy a movie marathon and still have charge to squeeze in a couple of hours of work. The FHD (1920x1080) display makes everything from movies and photos to games and video chat enjoyable. The addition of Dolby Audio Premium energizes entertainment with rich, powerful sound that dynamically adjusts audio to deliver home theatre quality in a virtual surround sound experience.
