Global technology leader Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) continues their innovative streak with the launch of the Yoga Book, the thinnest and lightest 2-in-1 multimode and their latest series of Phab 2 devices which include the world’s first phablet that supports Google’s Tango technology.
The Yoga Book features the first-in-its-class Halo keyboard, which appears when a user needs to type, and disappears with the touch of a button, allowing the user to use the Real Pen, a dual-use stylus to sketch or take notes. The Phab 2 Pro is an incredible phablet which detects and maps its surroundings, making it possible for cutting-edge AR experiences, whether you’re measuring indoor spaces or raising a digital pet right in your bedroom.
The Yoga Book re-examines how a tablet should look and act, with never-before-seen features such as an instant Halo Keyboard and a dual-use stylus that can write on both paper and the tablet.Its thin and light design, 15-hour battery life, and 360-degree watchband hinge gives on-the-go tablet users the freedom to write and draw anywhere, matching the mobility of a smartphone without having to carry a laptop or a detachable. The availability of Wi-Fi (for Windows) or LTE (for Android versions) will ensure connectivity at all times, whether for work or play.
The Halo Keyboard weaves software and hardware into one interface. With the touch of a button, the keyboard appears and disappears allowing the user to switch from typing to sketching with ease. Users can also experience haptic feedback as they are typing and select the option of predictive typing for an improved typing experience that surpasses conventional tablets and matches that of physical keyboards.
Drawing inspiration from the elegance and simplicity of notebooks, the Yoga Book’s Real Pen accessory, which comes bundled with the product, allows users to write and draw with pen and paper while instantly digitising their notes and sketches.

With Tango, the Phab 2 Pro is able to detect physical motion and space. The combined technology of Tango in the device allows for motion tracking, depth perception, and area learning.

Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today unveiled the A7000, the world’s first smartphone with Dolby Atmos audio technology. The smartphone features a brilliant 5.5-in HD display with ultra-wide viewing angles and moving audio technology from Dolby. In fact, it’s the world’s first smartphone to feature Dolby Atmos technology.
In addition to its impressive audio and visual technologies, this multimedia smartphone comes packed with several features that today’s mobile consumers desire. Running Android 5.0 on a MediaTek True8Core™ processor with 4G LTE, it handles voice and data quickly and even has a dual SIM card slot for assigning two telephone numbers or a separate data plan, along with dual cameras. Highly portable, the A7000 is 7.9mm thin and just 140 grams light, making it easy to fit in a bag or pocket and comes in two colours: Onyx Black or Pearl White.
“As the world’s first smartphone featuring all-new Dolby® Atmos™ technology, the Lenovo A7000 is built for entertainment at an affordable price range. Our partnership with Dolby delivers a responsive multimedia performer which promises a fulfilling user experience,” said Foo Mun Yee, Country Lead, Lenovo Smartphone, Malaysia.
World’s first Dolby Atmos® smartphone
Previously pioneered and perfected in cinemas, the Dolby Atmos technology has generated tremendous excitement in home theatres. This powerfully moving entertainment experience has now been extended to phone users of the Lenovo A7000 to enjoy the rich, immersive sound experience. Music, videos, games, and even video chats will be enhanced with audio that flows above and around.
Users will immediately hear the Dolby Atmos difference using headphones: sounds of people, places, things, and music become more vivid and move from all directions, including overhead, with astonishing clarity, richness and depth. Voices and noises have a broader range from highs to lows, with the greatest subtlety. The technology also makes playback volume more consistent across all types of content.
Power to go the distance
The A7000 comes with a large battery while keeping the overall design very sleek. One can now stay connected for longer, watch more videos on a single charge and not be worried about running out of charge. The all-day 2900mAh battery ensures there is no stopping your entertainment. With OTG supported, you can connect USB drives (with microUSB connector) for data transfer on the go. You can even utilise the A7000 as a power bank to charge other phones from it.
Partnership with Lazada
In conjunction with today’s unveiling of the A7000, Lenovo Malaysia will be partnering with Lazada Malaysia to launch and exclusively retail the Lenovo A7000 Smartphone as part of a regional initiative. This is the first time Lenovo is doing a concurrent launch across six ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Customers may purchase the phone on the online store during a pre-order flash sale to celebrate the launch.
“We are excited to exclusively retail the Lenovo A7000 Smartphone across the six Southeast Asian countries that Lazada operates in, having already experienced our successful partnership in Indonesia. I am confident that our market leadership and reach to approximately 550 million consumers in the region, along with Lenovo’s business strategy and brand presence, will pave the way to a win-win partnership,” said Maximilian Bittner, CEO of Lazada Group.

Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) announced a new device duo that gives users a new way to use convertible PCs – the YOGA 3 Pro and YOGA Tablet 2. The new 13-inch YOGA 3 Pro is dramatically thinner and lighter than its predecessors with a new striking and sturdy watchband hinge. It uniquely addresses users’ desires for an extremely stylish device, best-in-breed performance capabilities and the hardware and software adaptability they crave. For a new and better way to read, watch, connect and create, the YOGA Tablet 2 Pro redefines the tablet experience with a built-in tablet-projector. The 13-inch entertainment tablet that gives out an exhilarating 8 watts of sound including a subwoofer – a first for a tablet.
“Many consumers loved the YOGA design and its unique features – for both PC and tablet. To continue evolving the YOGA range as a truly adaptable, intelligent device was a natural step. We wanted to give users a more compact machine with innovative features that will truly adapt to the user giving them the best experiences ever,” said Khoo Hung Chuan, Country General Manager, Lenovo Malaysia.
He continued, “The new Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro’s design is an outstanding example of the innovation we are seeing in 2-in-1 systems, while the YOGA Tablet 2 Pro is the culmination of the most extensive research and feedback we’ve ever undertaken. As a result, we’ve preserved the best features of the original YOGA Tablet – the modes and the long battery life.”

Country Manager, Intel Malaysia and Singapore, Sumner Lemon shared, “Intel processors offer unparalleled performance and a great user experience. With our 4th Generation Intel® CoreTM processors, customers are spoiled for choice with a wide range of devices that offer amazing battery life, stunning graphics, touch screens, and a choice of beautiful, sleek and light designs.” Lemon continued, “Intel-based 2 in 1s, like the Lenovo YOGA, are the best way to get a lot done in the shortest time. While tasks such as booking a vacation or filling out a spreadsheet are more easily done in a PC-like environment, these devices can also be converted into a tablet for surfing the Internet or watching videos.”
YOGA 3 Pro: Optimized Performance with Watchband Hinge
While the YOGA 2 Pro became synonymous with thin and light, the new YOGA 3 Pro takes this concept even further by shaving 17 percent from its predecessor’s frame at just 12.8mm thin – thinner than a pencil when opened. The PC also comes in lighter at 1.19kg – 14 percent less than before – lighter than a bottle of water.
The device achieves this incredibly thin and light design thanks to Lenovo’s new watchband hinge constructed from more than 800 pieces of steel and aluminium. Lenovo engineers redesigned the original YOGA hinge to ensure that it provides the same degree of flexibility and flatness seen in metallic watch bands. Instead of two focus points, there are now six.
Besides that, the YOGA 3 Pro also offers users an excellent experience in any mode from the moment they open the lid. With a QHD+ 3200×1800 display, this bright and clear screen looks amazing whatever the task – editing images in Laptop mode, video chatting in Stand mode, watching movies in Tent mode or online shopping in Tablet mode. Built with durable Gorilla Glass, this screen is designed to hold up to wherever users go.
While videos look stunning, the YOGA 3 Pro makes them sound just as spectacular with premium JBL® speakers with Waves® Audio, which automatically adjusts the audio in each of the four modes so that the audio still sounds crisp and clear even, when the speakers are not facing the user.
Equipped with an Intel® Core M™ processor, solid state drive storage up to 512 GB SSD and Intel integrated graphics, users can multitask at will, store large digital libraries and experience smooth video playback without lag. The YOGA 3 Pro keeps users connected via high-speed 802.11 a/c WiFi[1] and also allows them to run longer with up to seven hours of battery life[2].
To advance the concept of adaptive computing and complement the YOGA’s responsive hardware features, Lenovo also created the latest Harmony software experience. Harmony gives YOGA owners a new way to discover applications and customize how they behave when used. For example, when reading an e-book, Harmony will automatically change the brightness and color temperature according to the environment lighting.
When using any presentation software, Harmony can enable motion control or touch depending on the mode, or when watching videos it can optimize the audio settings. Harmony recognizes and optimizes the experience with over 50 of the most popular applications.
Harmony also recommends which apps other YOGA owners find useful and provides a handy shortcut to the apps used most frequently in each mode.
YOGA Tablet 2 Pro: A New Way to Watch and Hear
Developed with Ashton Kutcher, who joined Lenovo as a product engineer a year ago, the new YOGA Tablet 2 Pro is designed to elevate media experience with its star feature a built-in Pico projector. The projector lets users turn inside walls into an instant TV or movie screen[3]. With automatic image adjustment and up to three hours playback time, users can get through a double feature before having to plug in the tablet. The tablet’s enhanced audio system also provides a captivating 8 watts of sound, quadrupling the speaker power of an average tablet. Its dual, large-chamber speakers are front-facing for dynamic audio, and a subwoofer on the back rounds it out with deep bass notes while Dolby® Audio and Wolfson® Master HiFi™ ensure a multi-channel listening experience, just like the movies. It also features a QHD 2560×1440 screen for life-like images, designed specifically for digitally-hungry consumers.
The YOGA Tablet 2 Pro makes users’ lives easier in other ways too with a fourth mode – Hang. Now users can interact with the tablet in a new way by hanging it anywhere they want. They can also continue to enjoy the other three original modes: Hold for better angles for reading, Tilt for easily browsing online and Stand for close up content from digital libraries. While loaded with lots of useful features that adapt to user’s lifestyles, the Platinum-colored tablet remains thin and light at just 3.7mm thin and 950 grams.
The new YOGA Tablet 2 Pro also runs on the latest 4th generation Intel® Atom™ processor, helping power smooth multimedia playback and rendering, great for multitaskers. Also, for picture-perfect snapshots, it has an extremely high resolution 8 MP rear camera and plenty of storage equipped with 32GB and up to 64 GB via Micro SD. And with up to 15 hours of battery life and optional 4G3, users can stay mobile nearly around the clock. To keep up with their busy lifestyles, users need software to keep them organized, especially with the myriad of contacts contained in their different email and social media accounts. With the Brewster app that comes preloaded on the tablet, users now have an app to manage contacts for them. Brewster files contacts from various apps into one address book that merges, de-duplicates, and even adds images to contacts and also shares verified contact information to a user’s contacts.
In conjunction with the YOGA launch, Lenovo Malaysia is partnering with Urbanscapes 2014 to engage with local talents of Malaysia. As part of the collaboration, there will be an online contest for consumers titled ‘Technology Inspires Creativity’ where fans will submit their most creative artwork device skin and a slogan. Entries will be judged by an esteemed panel of judges – from DJ Eva T, a well-known “Electronic Dance Music Queen“ in South East Asia; Dennis Yin, a dancer from award-winning dance crew, Elecoldxhot; to Vernon Chan, a prominent tech blogger; and Yuyu Zulaikha, a local fashion influencer. The top three winners chosen by the judges will walk away with the latest YOGA devices, prize money and tickets to the 2014 Urbanscapes event happing at Horse Ranch, Resorts World Genting, on 6th December 2014.
Lenovo(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) and IBM (NYSE: IBM) recently announced the integration of IBM’s x86 server business globally, including Malaysia, adding the x86 sales and maintenance teams to its current commercial, consumer and smartphone businesses here. The agreement builds upon a strong history of collaboration that began in 2005 when Lenovo acquired IBM’s PC business, including the ThinkPad line of PCs.
Lenovo acquired the System x, BladeCenter and Flex System blade servers and switches, x86-based Flex integrated systems, NeXtScale and iDataPlex servers and associated software, blade networking and maintenance operations.
“With the close of the x86 acquisition, Lenovo will add a world-class business that extends our capabilities in enterprise hardware and services, immediately making us a strong number three in the global server market,” said Khoo Hung Chuan, Country General Manager, Lenovo Malaysia. “Our priorities are to ensure a smooth integration and deliver a seamless transition for customers. Lenovo has big plans for the enterprise market. Over time, we will compete vigorously across every sector, using our manufacturing scale and operational excellence to repeat the success we have had with PCs.”
The agreement builds upon a strong history of collaboration that began in 2005 when Lenovo acquired IBM’s PC business, including the ThinkPad line of PCs. Lenovo’s pending acquisition of Motorola Mobility from Google will make it the world’s third-largest smartphone maker, while further strengthening its position as a top-three maker of smart connected devices – PCs, tablets and smartphones.
Lenovo and IBM have also established a strategic alliance where Lenovo will serve as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to IBM and resell selected products from IBM’s industry-leading storage and software portfolio, including IBM’s entry and midrange Storwize storage product family, Linear Tape Open (LTO) products, IBM Flash storage arrays and elements of IBM’s system software portfolio, including Smart Cloud, General Parallel File System and Platform Computing solutions. This strategic alliance means Lenovo can now offer these products as part of a more comprehensive enterprise IT solution, allowing it to support a greater range of customer needs in data centers.
Lenovo is buying IBM’s x86 server business as a whole and is committed to following the IBM x86 product roadmap, including Flex and x86-based PureFlex integrated systems. Lenovo will continue to drive innovation in these products. As previously disclosed, upon close, IBM will continue to provide maintenance delivery on Lenovo’s behalf for an extended period of time, so customers will experience a seamless transition with no change in their maintenance support.
The purchase price is approximately US$ 2.1 billion. Approximately US$ 1.8 billion will be paid in cash at closing after estimated adjustments and approximately US$ 280 million will be paid in Lenovo stock, based on the closing price of Lenovo’s stock on September 26, 2014. The transaction satisfied regulatory requirements and conditions, including clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
The transition began on the 1st of October in countries that are part of the initial closing, which includes most major markets. The transaction is expected to close in most other countries later this year, with the few remaining countries following in early 2015.
