Just like other laptops, Lenovo Yoga Book comes with two panels. One panel is where the display is located. This display is a full HD multi-touch screen with the size of 10.1 inches. The other panel is a capacitive keyboard which is called “Create Pad”. This pad is run by Wacom chipset. It allows users to use both fingers and pen to activate the “keyboard” by touching its surface. After activation, the keyboard and the touchpad appear, and are ready for use.

What is even more interesting about Create Pad is that it can scan your drawings. All you need to do is refill the ink inside the pen that goes with the laptop, use that pen to draw anything on a paper and then place the paper on the Create Pad. Besides those great features, this laptop is also able to open 360 degree to form a tablet just like its predecessor.

With the Apple event coming closer day by day, we get even more news, leaks, rumors and confirmations. Today we get iPhone 7 price confirmation, as well as some rumors. Let’s check them out!

iPhone 7 rumor: 32 & 256GB variants, Lightning EarPods included?

Before going to the iPhone 7 price, let’s look at some rumors first! We have heard about Apple removing the normal 3.5mm headphone jack, and the new EarPods will connect via the Lightning port. It seems that rumor may be true after all. According to a spec sheet that was posted on Chinese social media site Weibo, the new Lightning EarPods will be included in the box. What’s more, we will also get the Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone adapter This is great news for those who still prefer using 3.5mmm-jack earphones, if it is true.

According to the same source, there will also be variants of iPhone 7 / 7 Plus with 32GB and 256GB, along with the 128GB which has been announced before. Since iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, there have been 3 variants of each iPhone model: 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. Among them, the 16GB variant has been criticized a lot, because it offers too little space for storage. With this move, we can see that Apple finally decides to leave out the small storage, version, and will start with 32GB at least, which is great news if true as well.

Of course, with the Apple announcement day coming closer, we will obviously get a lot of supposed ‘leaks’ and rumors. There will be no guarantee that each and every one of them is true. With that said, it is best to just take each rumor with a pinch of salt, and wait for the official announcement from Apple or at least some trustworthy sources. Now we will see the iPhone 7 price!

iPhone 7 price revealed!

Finally, we get this piece of important information: how much is the new iPhone 7 / 7 Plus price going to be. PhoneRadar claims to have the official price of the new lineup of iPhone. The iPhone 7 32GB will cost $790, while the 7 Plus of the same storage is $910. The iPhone 7 / 7 Plus duo with 128GB will be priced at $910 and $1,030 respectively. Finally, the 256GB variant of iPhone 7 / 7 Plus will be $1,064 and $1,180. Do you think the price of the new iPhone lineup is reasonable?
