Lenovo have quietly released official images of their mysterious netbook, together with confirming the device’s name. The Lenovo Pocket Yoga has a broad, narrow display like the VAIO P, but unlike the Sony the Pocket Yoga’s display is a touchscreen with stylus.
The central hinge seemingly allows the Pocket Yoga to open up all the way around, until the form-factor is a long, thin pocketbook. There’s also a leather belt, used to keep the Pocket Yoga closed, but that also doubles as a wireless mouse.
Full specifications are still unknown, but there’s definitely a webcam and what looks to be some sort of mouse pointer diamond embedded in the top-right of the keyboard. Hopefully Lenovo let slip some more details soon, including whether this is a design concept or a netbook headed for production.
Lenovo Pocket Yoga is 2 year old concept, no production plans
The story behind the Lenovo Pocket Yoga has emerged, courtesy of Johnson Li, Director of Lenovo’s Beijing Innovation Center where the first blurry images of the netbook were snapped. Despite what the images released earlier today might suggest, the Pocket Yoga is no new design but in fact a two year old concept.
According to Li, Pocket Yoga was intended as a companion device that blurred the line between portable computing and the sort of accessories - wallet, diary, purse - users would conventionally carry with them. The almost-360 degree hinge allowed for multiple usage methods, from a tabletop or lap typing position, or - when fully rotated - a pad-style form factor more suited to standing or walking use, and which could be controlled with a touchscreen and pen.
Disappointingly, Li confirms that the Yoga notebook experiment “is finished” and the Pocket Yoga concept is unlikely to be developed any further, much less make it to the market. It’s interesting - and no doubt frustrating to Lenovo’s design and concept teams - that Pocket Yoga predates netbooks and, since comparisons have often been drawn, the Sony VAIO P in particular. Looking at the Lenovo Pocket Yoga in comparison to the company’s actual netbooks - the IdeaPad S9 and S10 - we know which we’d prefer to buy.
