This Windows tablet lets you use any metal object as a pen
Sure, pens on tablets are great -- until you misplace them. Even when there's a pen-hole built into the device, there's a good chance you'll either lose it at a coffee shop, or at the very least forget to pack it before leaving the house in the morning. Lenovo has a unique solution: Take some scissors to it. Or a Philips screwdriver. Or maybe even a Swiss Army knife. The company just unveiled a special version of its existing 8-inch Yoga 2 Windows tablet that allows you to use any conductive object as a pen. That means all the objects you see in the photo above -- and yes, that includes a pencil.
Engadget Daily: Test-driving the Tesla D, alleged Snapchat breach and more!
Wish you could take Tesla's new EV for a spin? Why not live vicariously through us -- our own Nicole Lee rode shotgun, and yeah, she enjoyed it. That's not all we have on deck for this weekend, though. Read on for our news highlights from the past 24 hours.
Lenovo's new 'Yoga' tablets run Android and Windows, one has a built-in projector
Lenovo's original, kickstand-toting Yoga Tablet was kind of a flop, thanks to a poor display, sluggish performance and heavily skinned version of Android. (Naming Ashton Kutcher as a "product engineer" probably didn't help either.) Not to be deterred, the company is going all in: Lenovo just announced new versions of the Yoga Tablet, including a big-screen model with a built-in projector, and two that run Windows (it's also still available with Android). Starting with that weird projector edition, called the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, it's not the first gadget we've seen with a built-in lamp, but it's the first we've seen in quite some time. In this case, what we have this time around is a 13-inch Android tablet with a 2,560 x 1,440 screen sharp enough to play movies on its own, though you could also use the in-built Pico projector to create a 50-inch image on the wall.
