Expert tester comments
Lenovo has created a laptop that is far different from anything else on the market. You get two screens that are attached by a central hinge, and a stand accessory allows you to place the laptop in portrait or landscape orientations to make use of both screens at once. It's perfect for multitasking. A Bluetooth keyboard and a mouse are supplied, so you can get a desktop-like experience from this otherwise mobile product, and there is also a stylus for taking notes and drawing when in tablet mode. The screens are excellent, and the versatility of the product is impresive once you get used to all the ways it can be used u002du002d if you don't want to take the external keyboard and mouse with you, the second screen can be used as a virtual keyboard and touchpad.
