Lenovo launches Yoga 900 convertible laptop at Rs 1,22,090; Yoga Tab 3 Pro at Rs 39,990

Lenovo has launched its all-new Yoga 900 2-in-1 laptop device powered by Windows 10 along with the Yoga Tab 3 Pro.

The 13-inch Yoga 900 hybrid device is just 0.59-inch thick, 1.92 kg light, and is designed for both personal and business use.

Powered by Windows 10, the laptop is touted to be the world's thinnest Intel Core i convertible. It features the Yoga signature watchband hinge for ultraportability. It comes equipped with Intel's newest 6th gen Core i7 processor with 8 GB of RAM.

The laptop can be used in four different modes- laptop, stand, tent, and tablet. Lenovo claims the Yoga 900 comes with an improved battery life with 50 per cent greater battery density that allows it to offer up to 9 hours of local video playback.

On the audio front, the device comes with JBL stereo speakers with Dolby DS 1.0 for better entertainment experience.

Other than the Yoga 900 hybrid laptop, Lenovo also launched its Yoga Tab 3 Pro, touted to be world’s smallest home theatre. The tablet comes with a 178 cm display that offers home theatre-like experience to users while watching movies, playing games or browsing the web.

It comes with an optimised projector which is 180-degree rotatable and can beam life-sized images on wall or ceiling. The QHD display further offers 299ppi resolution and richer colours with its Smart Display technology.

As the Yoga Tab 3 Pro comes with an inbuilt JBL sound bar and Dolby Atmos technology, users can have a cinematic experience without headphones. The tablet is said to come with an all-day battery life.

The Yoga 900 has been priced at Rs 1,22,090 and will be available in Croma stores, select Lenovo Exclusive Stores and official Lenovo online store. The Yoga Tab 3 Pro is Rs 39,990 and is available on Flipkart.

Flexible Camera Developed That Can Be Wrapped Around Objects

A team led by an Indian-origin professor at Columbia University has created a novel sheet camera that can be wrapped around everyday objects to capture images that cannot be taken with one or more conventional cameras. "Cameras today capture the world from essentially a single point in space. While the camera industry has made remarkable progress in shrinking the camera to a tiny device with ever increasing imaging quality, we are exploring a radically different approach to imaging," said Shree K Nayar, computer science professor at Columbia University. "We believe there are numerous applications for cameras that are large in format but very thin and highly flexible," added Nayar who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, in 1984. Nayar's team designed and fabricated a flexible lens array that adapts its optical properties when the sheet camera is bent. This optical adaptation enables the device to produce high quality images over a wide ...

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo back Apple in its fight over encryption with FBI

The nation's leading tech companies joined security experts, independent programmers and civil liberties advocates who filed court papers backing Apple in its fight with the FBI over an encrypted iPhone used by an extremist killer. Several law enforcement groups, meanwhile, filed briefs in support of federal authorities who are seeking Apple's help in hacking an encrypted iPhone used by Syed Farook, one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. These "friend of the court" briefs come in advance of a March 22 hearing in which Apple is asking U.S. Magistrate Sheri Pym to reverse an order requiring Apple to create a software program that overrides iPhone security features. That program would let authorities try to unlock Farook's phone by guessing its passcode; Apple says it would make all other iPhones more vulnerable to future attacks. Relatives of five people who were killed, along with one survivor of the December 2 attack, also filed a brief saying the FBI's ...

Samsung Galaxy S7: 5 Features That Stand Out

Klutzes of the world should rejoice Friday, as Samsung officially starts sales of its new water-resistant Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The phones, which the company first unveiled last month, are now widely available in all their dunkable glory. The latest two Samsung's high-end smartphones are supposed to be able to withstand submersion up to five feet for as long as 30 minutes. So you're in luck if you drop your phone in the drink - as long as you fish it out reasonably fast. Samsung provided me with a review unit of the Galaxy S7, a 5.1-inch smartphone. Once I opened the box, I duly dropped the high-performance, expensive phone into my sink while doing the dishes. Apart from the mild palpitations I gave myself, there was no damage at all. The phone's touchscreen didn't work under water, but it continued on without a hiccup and was unharmed and still working perfectly when I pulled it out. It was just as impressively zippy as ever and no worse for ...
