PRESS RELEASE
Break away with Lenovo Yoga™ Duet 7i and color your world with Lenovo E-Color Pen8
Remember when devices were designed to only do one thing, in one place, and for a single user? Not anymore. Our world is changing fast; with smarter technology more prevalent than ever in our daily lives, multitasking has increasingly become the norm. With grab-and-go form factors, our screens are our lifelines when we’re on-the-go or just moving from room to room in our own homes.
As we are finding out, remote working, online learning, and virtual social gatherings do not have to be hosted from any particular place—all it takes is the right technology. In this time of connectivity, Lenovo is committed to delivering on all fronts by providing more people with the accessible and multipurpose technology they will need to thrive.
Designed to help us all navigate a fully connected world, Lenovo propels its latest consumer lineup forward by introducing two LTE-supported, Windows 10 detachables including the portable Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i1 with its imaginative Lenovo E-Color Pen and the Lenovo IdeaPad™ Duet 3i1 with digital pen, making it a clear winner with students and multitaskers alike.
Another way to enjoy versatility and personal connection at home is with the upgraded Lenovo Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus (2nd Gen) with Alexa Built-in™, which enables the popular hands-free ‘Show Mode’ experience from Alexa® when docked and charging in its Smart Dock, with the added benefit of being a full-function Android™ tablet for when you don’t feel like staying put in one room.
Experience what’s next in performance and portability with the new Lenovo consumer devices coming to market.
