Chinese computer maker Lenovo presented a new tablet device including a hinge-cum-handle allowing it to tilt and stand, a feature it billed as a ‘game-changing’ innovation.
The device has three modes: hold, tilt and stand.
A cylindrical hinge on one side can either be held, or opened to produce a stand.
“Watching and discovering that people frequently use tablets in three main ways allowed us to break the mold on the current ‘sea of sameness’ designs,” said Lenovo senior vice president Liu Jun.
The devices run on Google’s Android operating system; have relatively low-resolution 1280 x 800 screens and comes in 8 and 10 inch models.
An optional bluetooth keyboard is available for the larger model, which serves as a cover.
The new tablet enters a hugely crowded tablet market still dominated by Apples iPad and South Korea’s Samsung.
