Gadget of the month... Laptop/tablet tackles tough CAD tasks on the move

摘要

When Lenovo launched the ThinkPad P40 Yoga last month, it made no mistake in its marketing about whom it's targeting with its latest laptop/tablet hybrid: "From digital artists storyboarding the next Hollywood blockbuster, to engineers designing the next hot new car, creative professionals need to both sketch their designs and bring those designs to life." To sketch and then develop a design in 3D CAD software, an engineer would normally need a tablet computer and a laptop, says the firm. But the Yoga's screen rotates through 360° and can be folded into the keyboard to turn the laptop into a touchscreen tablet. While in tablet mode, you can sketch using Wacom Active ES pen technology on the high-resolution (2,560 × 1,440 pixels) display.
