Why bother with the BOOX Palma, when you could get Hefei LCFC’s Gemini. This Lenovo subsidiary debuted a dual E-ink tablet that can double as a mini laptop of sorts.
It features two 7.8″ E-ink screens that can be used either as a dual-screen ebook reader or as a laptop with a virtual keyboard, complete with stylus support. A 360-degree hinge connects the two screens, enabling users to flip them and use the device like a traditional book. The stylus it comes with appears to have a built-in microphone that can be clipped onto a shirt. Other features include at least one USB-C port, a rear camera, and stereo speakers. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability.
