Last month, at the IFA 2016 industry expo, Lenovo unveiled the Yoga Book, a 10.1-inch notebook that aims to offer all the simplicity and convenience of a "real" pen and paper notebook.
It features a touchscreen display, along with a separate touch-sensitive surface on which users can write and draw with an included stylus, or on which they can type on an illuminated keyboard that offers haptic feedback to simulate real keys. The stylus - dubbed the "Real Pen" - even works with real ink, so that you can write on paper as well as on the device itself.
Now, Lenovo has opened pre-orders for the Yoga Book in the UK. The device is offered in Gunmetal Grey or Champagne Gold colour options with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, priced at £429.99.
A Windows 10 version is also available for £509.99, but will only be available with a more sombre Carbon Black colour scheme.
While both versions can be pre-ordered now, the Windows 10 version will be released first, with deliveries promised around 11 business days from now. Those wanting the Android models face a longer wait, with shipments expected "in 4 weeks".
