We vaguely scoffed at (but also quite liked)
the Sero, Samsung’s crazy vertical TV for
millennials that landed last year – but
Lenovo’s idea of using a similar concept
on a desktop PC makes a massive amount
of sense whether you’re a TikTok fanatic,
have an aversion to scrolling through blogs,
or find yourself regularly navigating very,
very long spreadsheets.
The all-in-one Yoga AIO 7 doesn’t scrimp
on specs either. The vertical/horizontal
rotating 4K display is obviously the
showpiece, and can also be tilted back
by up to 20%; but it’s joined by JBL stereo
speakers, a top-spec AMD Ryzen 7 4800H
processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
graphics, which feels like a brutal enough
combination to handle gaming and
creative willy-waving.
Whether Lenovo’s idea of incorporating
‘human billboard’ spin tricks into computer
screens catches on remains to be seen,
and at present the Yoga AIO 7 is only going
to be available in select regions – even
the US won’t be one of them – but we
like the rhyming sensation of owning an
orientation workstation, if nothing else.

On page 60 of this month’s magazine

we review what we believe to be an

eye-wateringly expensive mirrorless

camera from Leica. Well hold my beer,

says Sony, because this is the Alpha 1,

its new flagship snapper, and it’s yours

for six and a half grand.

With a 50MP full-frame sensor and the

ability to record 8K video, if there is to be

any eye-watering, this is the camera to

capture those tears in even greater detail.

There’s a huge supply of processing power

on tap too, as the Alpha 1 can shoot stills at

full 50.1MP resolution at speeds of up to

30fps, which is significantly quicker than

most of its rivals. For video shooters, this

is Sony’s first 8K-capable mirrorless

camera, and it also records 4K at 120fps

for 5x slow-motion playback.

As you’d expect from a no-compromise

model at a no-compromise price, there are

loads of other features packed in, including

real-time autofocus for tracking the eyes

of birds. So if you like nothing better than

chasing after tits and boobies, this is the

camera for you – and no, that sort of

humour is not below us.

that’s not enough you can
