The post Lenovo’s Yoga Book C930 swaps the keyboard for an E Ink display appeared first on BardTech . Lenovo’s going all-in on IFA this year. The company announced a new Chromebook, a Snapdragon powered Windows laptop and some smart home devices, among others. The most compelling bit from the bunch, however, has to be the Yoga Book C930. The laptop follows in the footsteps of the Yoga Book A12 , the convertible that was all the rage at IFA back in 2016. That device swapped the standard keyboard for a touchscreen, so the surface could double as a drawing pad. It wasn’t particularly conducive for typing, but it certainly was innovative. The C930 takes things even further, swapping the Halo keyboard for E Ink. It’s an interesting application for the technology, which has largely been relegated to the world of e-readers. The secondary display servce the same function as on the A12, doing triple duty as a keyboard, notepad and e-reader. That functionality certainly makes the device a...

The post Lenovo launched a bunch of smart home products appeared first on BardTech . Lenovo’s got its hands in basically everything else at this point, so why not extend that reach into smart home devices? Today at IFA, the company announced the upcoming release of smart lightbulb, plug and connected security camera, all tied together by the company’s new Link app. The play here is pretty clear, honestly. The company recently released the first (and best looking) Google Smart Display last month, and now it’s looking to provide even more of that connected smart home tissue. You’ve already got a Lenovo product in your home, so why not go all in, right? After all, fragmentation has been an issue with smart home early adopters. The idea of a different app for every single new device in the home is a bit of a headache, though the likes of Apple, Amazon and Google are all working to close the loop with their own solutions. Lenovo’s trying to circumvent that a bit here with Link, while...

The post Possible Motorola Moto G7 appears online with a waterdrop notch appeared first on BardTech . Lenovo-owned Motorola launched the Moto G6 and the Moto E5 series in April. The Moto G6 series consists of the top-end Moto G6 Plus , the Moto G6 , and the Moto G6 Play. The Moto E5 series consists of the Moto E5 Plus , the Moto E5, and the Moto E5 Play. Notably, the Moto G6 Plus was not launched in the United States. In India, Motorola didn’t launch the Moto G6 Plus alongside the Moto G6 in June, but has said that the phone is coming soon. This year, it’s clear that Motorola’s budget phone lineup falls behind its competitors in terms of specifications and value. Now, however, leaked photos of what’s possibly the Motorola Moto G7 (although it’s labeled as the Motorola Moto G6 Plus—a device which has already launched) have been posted online. The photo shows a waterdrop notch, which is interesting to see. OPPO has adopted the waterdrop notch in the OPPO F9/F9 Pro , and we repo...

The post Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 and Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Receive Official LineageOS 15.1 Builds appeared first on BardTech . ASUS has had their ZenFone series of smartphones for a while now and they continue to grow it by adding on more descriptive names as the years go by. The company released the ZenFone Max Pro M1 only a few months ago  and since then it has been able to garner a dedicated following thanks to its low price and decent mid-range specifications. The company’s success with the device has even led them to drop their flash sales model to offer the device 24/7 within India . The stock ROM on the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is pretty barebones and close to stock Android, but some of you may still want more from your device. Thankfully, that’s where custom ROMs like the newly released official LineageOS 15.1 come in. So for anyone who owns the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1, you’ll be happy to hear that you can now install LineageOS 15.1 for the device. The ROM ...
