ASUS ZenScreen is a 15.6-inch monitor for people on-the-go

Daniel Morial

ASUS has been dropping a number of consumer products under their Zen line of devices. The latest to join the bunch is a 15.6-inch monitor that will please those who are in need of popping out a display whenever they need it.

The ASUS ZenScreen is the “world’s lightest and slimmest full HD portable monitor” as the company claims due to its 8mm waistline and less than two pounds of heft. It utilizes a USB Type-C port for transmitting power and video to the display.

The display has a thin bezel of just 6.5mm making it ideal as a second monitor for your laptop or anywhere you need it. It comes with a foldable smart case which also acts as a stand — vertically or horizontally. You can also practically use a pen through the hole below the display to make the screen stand.

No exact release date yet but ASUS has already stated the ZenScreen to be priced at 269 Euro or approximately Php8,900.

Lenovo Yoga Book: A laptop without the keyboard

Daniel Morial

Lenovo does find ways to change the way we use our beloved laptop. From introducing a 360-degree flipping notebook, they now want you to have a laptop without a physical keyboard.

The Lenovo Yoga Book is a fusion of the company’s Yoga design, its pretty watchband hinge, and a slab of digitizer. This device is something you don’t see every day, well, for now. You get a conventional touch display with a large touch glass surface dubbed as the Create Pad.

The Create Pad functions similarly to a Wacom tablet wherein you draw with the included stylus. This also doubles as your virtual keyboard called the Halo Keyboard. It instantly shifts from being a typing space to a sketch with a tap of a button.

Lenovo-Yoga-Book-1

Specs-wise, the Yoga Book has a 10.2-inch touch display with a full HD resolution. Inside is an Intel Atom x5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. It weighs 680 grams and is just 9.6mm thick. Lenovo claims a 15-hour battery life. 

The included stylus is from Wacom with 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and a 100-degree angle detection. You can replace the tip of the pen with standard ink tips, just like that of a conventional pen, and write on a paper above the surface to digitally transform it.

The Lenovo Yoga Book will come with either Android or Windows software. Pricing is at $499 and $549, respectively. A 4G model will come soon but with a much higher tag.
