Like the keyboard, it has its own learning curve and can be equally painful to use. You can’t do this with the Yoga Book without triggering unintentional commands.Īccompanying the odd keyboard is the rather small touchpad, denoted by a white outlined section below the keyboard, on the same matte surface. The keyboard is a nightmare for touch typists (people who type on muscle memory), as they rest their fingers on the keyboard between keystrokes.

Further, the keyboard does not register multiple key presses at the same time, but Windows shortcut commands, like Cut (ctrl + x), Minimize all (Windows key + D), Lock Screen (Windows key + L), etc. While you can turn off the audio tone, the haptic feedback can’t be turned off, and can be annoying. If you’re buying this, you just have to make your peace with this.īeing a capacitive touchpad, the Halo keyboard has no travel and all you get is strong haptic feedback and low audio alert for key presses.
As hard as I tried, though, this gets nowhere close to a laptop keyboard in terms of speed, feedback and overall typing comfort. Over a couple of weeks my typing speeds have increased and typos have been reduced to a great extent. My first article written on this machine carried a lot of typos. Now, depending on how you type, that learning curve can be long or short, or completely frustrating. It’s new hardware and the learning curve is inescapable. Using the Halo keyboard is a challenge at first, I eventually got a hang of it. This allows this machine to be a laptop and a designer's tool at the same time. The Lenovo Yoga Book on the other hand replaces the secondary display with a capacitive touchpad, which doubles as touch-based laptop keyboard. There have been others since, but all of those tablets had secondary touch displays for drawing/sketching. Sony also tried its hand at this concept in 2012, with the Tablet P. Microsoft had a similar idea back in 2010, with its prototype, codenamed “Courier”, but that never made it past the drawing board. Let’s begin with what this laptop is all about, the keyboard deck, which looks futuristic, but Lenovo isn’t the only one who’s thought of it.
