I beg to differ as an owner of the original (real leather) Folio. It is very much like carrying a real leather binder (like the pre-everything has to be a computer days); the switch from typing to notetaking and back is much smoother and convenient.
The REAL problem is price. Once you add i7, 1tb, and 5g you are NORTH of $4,000. You can get a MBP 14 and iPad Pro at those prices…
The Lenovo X13 Yoga gen 4 has been announced. Good looking specs: 13th gen Intel, Iris Xe, up to 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 13.3” 16:10 OLED available, starting weight 2.64lbs, oddly two battery options it seems (41Wh and 54.7Wh) 2xTB4, 2x USB-A, HDMI, 3.5mm, pen tech likely AES.
Another one, spotted by @Desertlap : the TCL Book X12 Go. Lightweight, Wacom AES, low cost, what’s not to like? (slow, small battery, flimsy keyboard :vb-grin: ). See this forum post.
That actually looks pretty decent. I liked the m pen I had with the Mate 20X. It was pretty accurate except at the very edge of the phone, but much better than AES pens I’d used to that point. I wish it was a little smaller and had a better keyboard option, but I like the direction it’s going.
Yeah, the their number of offerings is crazy (but hey, more choice is better in the end) and they seem to hardly promote pens/styluses on most of the models that have them.
It took me a good hour to go through their website.
