A 2-in-1 tablet usually means that we’re talking about laptop form factor, too. But with Lenovo’s Yoga Book announced at its IFA pre-game show today, “2-in-1” can also refer to the software — you can choose to get an Android version or one with Windows 10.Here’s the twist with this convertible, though: it has no physical buttons.There’s a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 display on one side and a capacitive pad on the other that can house the virtual Halo Keyboard or the Create ...

The Galaxy Note 7’s digitized stylus, the S Pen, has gotten sleeker, more durable and smarter.The tip of the S Pen now measures 0.7mm, less than half the size of the Note 5’s pen — it allows for pinpoint wisps.
