At MWC this year, Lenovo is introducing the new Yoga 730 (in 13-inch and 15-inch models) and the new 14-inch Yoga 530 2-in-1 family. The company has also on display a trio of Chromebooks for education, the Lenovo 100e, 300e and 500e.

Lenovo's latets Chromebooks will be available through the company's partners in major countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, U.K, Spain, Brazil and Australia.

All three Lenovo Chromebooks are extra tough with flak-jacket-like protection for life's rigors. The Chromebooks have rubber bumpers, reinforced ports and hinges and spill-resistant keyboards with reinforced keys.

The Lenovo 100e entry model features a traditional laptop design but of note the 300e and 500e have the 360-degree Yoga hinge that lets the device switch between flexible laptop and tablet modes.

You can Interact in a different way with Lenovo's Enhanced Touch on the new 300e Chromebook. With the AnyPen, you can interact with the touchscreen using everyday household implements, pencils, pens, or even paperclips.

While you can still use your fingers to touch and interact with the display, Enhanced Touch lets you use nearly any writing implement to interact with the screen. By making some changes to the touch overlay glass and by modifying the firmware on the Touch Integrated circuit the Lenovo 300e with Enhanced Touch recognizes the implement as though it were your finger. While no way exists today for touch screens to sense plastic or non-conductive objects, writing implements, like pencils, are conductive, which allows the screen to recognize it.

On the digital stylus side, Google has been working to make the integrated stylus and on-screen inking support experience on the ChromeOS even better and the Lenovo's 500e takes advantage of this featuring an EMR stylus which is housed inside the system.

Google is providing custom coding and machine learning algorithm's that predicts where your pen is going on the fly as you are writing. By predicting your pen stroke out as far as the lag of the system (lag being the time it takes the system to recognize the pen movement and translate that into the image on the screen) Google has succeeded in creating essentially a lag-less pen experience.

With previous digital stylus technology, there was always an uneasy feeling as the line on the screen played catch up with the tip of the pen. Google has closed the gap.

  • Lenovo 500e Chromebook is available now at $349
  • Lenovo 300e Chromebook is available now $279
  • Lenovo 100e Chromebook available March 2018 at $219
