Interested users will have multiple options to consider in the laptop-tablet hybrid category as along with the gadget in question, the month of October will witness the debut of a number of other similar devices including ThinkPad Twist and IdeaPad Yoga.

Furthermore, it has been pre-loaded with Active Clip to crop images with a little assistance of the stylus, while Note Anytime permits users to take down notes quickly in natural handwriting.
