That double-hinged setup is pure genius.

@DjGalm right?? it's so cool

Pathetic brand

@Defengar Ah, good. My post is basically rendered null and void, then. Cool idea. If they added a pressure sensitive pen on that thing it would be super interesting for art students and stuff.

@ronnysoeberg They have said that the keyboard is recessed, also they have applied a double layer of super strong paint to the keys to keep the letters in tact.

the way they turned it into a tablet is not really smart. suppose u broke the keyboard or lost a key while wuz in tablet mode. they should hav made it where the screen goes over the keyboard.

Wacom or N-trig ?

i want this

[ronnysoeberg]

I can see quite a few ways of really fucking up that keyboard.. Grinding that keyboard against your lap and whatnot will sooner or later both grind away the letters, and most likely snag on some clothing to just yank out a key here and there. Unless they've thought of that and actually designed a keyboard that isn't shit. Would be a first for pc laptops, and I'd salute them.

this is a good idea, too bad lenovo's suck dick!!!!!!!!!!
