Lenovo’s Pocket Yoga Netbook pics leaked

I’ve never really been impressed much by the latest netbook craze. My biggest pet peeve with netbooks has always been the awkward cramped keyboards. However, Lenovo’s latest Pocket Yoga offering has me drooling over and wishing for it to be released ASAP.

The keyboard is ‘useable’, the looks are slick and smooth and the form factor is just amazing.

LenovoBlog – Last week some buzz was created by a photograph that someone snuck out of our Beijing design studio. The picture was of a pocket-sized PC we developed about two years ago, well before the current netbook craze and the introduction of a similar form factor by one of our competitors.

When you open it to a normal angle, it can be used as a laptop. Its full-function keyboard gives you enough space to type, so your hands won’t be crowded or compromised. Or you can open it 360 degrees, folding the top cover back to the base, and it becomes the tablet notebook. In the tablet mode the user can read, draw with the special pen, or surf the web. All in all, we believe this configuration gives the user the option to use the device as a hand-held notebook, giving more space than a mobile phone, along with the ability to type with more powerful multi-media features.

Detail always determines the excellence of a new configuration. “Pocket Yoga” has a elegant belt which wraps around the whole body. The “belt” is not a simple decoration, because when it is removed it becomes a mouse. It is the type of surprise that we designers want to give our customers. Imagine whenever in formal or casual occasion, it will become your best partner to show your high taste and satisfies your office or entertainment needs.
