That consistency of design isn’t a bad thing. Many Windows users will have iPads and Android devices, and the last thing you need is to be relearning an interface every time you pick up a new device. Nobody familiar with Office 2013 or any of the other Office apps will struggle to adapt, which is a particular bonus for businesses thinking of deploying these apps to staff.The Word app contains only a subset of the features you’ll find in the full desktop version of Word 2013, but there aren’t any show-stopping omissions. There’s a decent selection of templates to choose from when creating a document from scratch, and as with the other Office apps, we encountered no problems when opening and editing large, heavily formatted documents – something that can’t be said for online services such as Google Docs.

There are one or two advantages of running the Word app on Windows, as opposed to the other platforms. The choice of fonts is much greater, and there are no device-specific fonts like there are on the iPad, which can cause compatibility problems later. Assuming you have OneDrive or Dropbox synchronised to your Windows device, access to documents when offline is also much easier, since you get full access to the file system. On Word for the iPad, you have to open the documents in the app before you go offline.On the downside, there are currently fewer options for handling tracked changes than there are in the iOS version of Word, and the design of the button doesn’t make it very clear if tracking is switched on or off. We’d also urge Microsoft to do some work on the default software keyboard in Windows 10, as it swallows half the screen when you’re typing in landscape mode, making it difficult to navigate around documents.

Nevertheless, we’d be perfectly happy to write, tweak or edit documents using the Word app.It’s much the same story for Excel as Word, with little visible difference between the Windows and other versions of the app. Manipulating a spreadsheet on a pure touchscreen device could have been horribly tricky, but Microsoft has done a good job of making Excel finger-friendly without fundamentally damaging the utility of the spreadsheet. Entire columns or rows can be moved by pressing down on the header and dragging the row or column to the desired position; autofit can be applied to the entire row or column by simply double-tapping the header.

These touch shortcuts take a little learning, but soon become second-nature, and make it easier to manipulate even the biggest of spreadsheets. That said, we’re grateful for the prominence of the undo button in the top-right corner to help correct touch-induced errors.Composing formulae is well handled in the Excel app. The Formulas tab provides shortcuts for a number of different types of formulae (Financial, Logical, Date & Time and so on), and when you’ve chosen the relevant formula you choose which cells to apply it to by simply prodding them in turn. The keyboard isn’t really necessary. That said, we note Microsoft has devised a special keyboard for Excel on both iOS and Android, which provide a numerical keypad, cursor keys for easily moving between cells and keys for common functions. As yet, there’s no such facility for Windows.

As with all the all other Office mobile apps, some features are off-limits if you’re building a spreadsheet from scratch. There are no conditional formatting options, for example, nor any option to create pivot tables, although they will continue to work as expected if they’re already in an imported spreadsheet.PowerPoint is the most disappointing of the new Windows apps. It’s perfectly adequate for editing existing slideshows, or even creating presentations from scratch. There’s a reasonable selection of templates to choose from, image handling is excellent – with transparent guidelines to make sure photos are lined up properly with text – and there’s a good stock of transitions and effects for those who like to give it some visual pizzazz. The only major omission is the inability to insert videos or play clips already inserted into slide decks. What really lets down the Windows 10 app is the Presenter Mode. The tablet is the perfect tool for presenting your PowerPoint slides, letting you address the audience while swiping through slides and using your slate as a prompter. However, it’s not a patch on its iPad equivalent.

The new tablets are the Yoga Tablet 2, Yoga Tablet 2 Pro as well as a new notebook the Yoga 3 Pro

Lenovo, with a little help from Ashton Kutcher, launched three flexible products at a special event hosted in London: the Yoga Tablet 2, Yoga Tablet 2 Pro and the Yoga 3 Pro.The most intriguing product is the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, which was developed by Lenovo’s “very own” product engineer Ashton Kutcher. The Tablet Pro 2 is a 13in device that “lets users instantly turn walls into instant movie screens” thanks to its built-in projector. Lenovo has also equipped the Pro 2 with what it claims is the world’s first tablet subwoofer, perfect to enjoy the soundtrack from Dude, Where’s My Car. Lenovo has added yet more flexibility to the device by designing a new Hang mode to join the existing Tilt, Stand and Hand modes.”To do that, we really looked at how people use tablets and what they needed for a better experience. The Yoga Tablet 2 Pro has got the best sound, a dramatically brilliant camera and display, a new mode, a projector and top processor, so I think we created the best tablet available. I can’t wait for people to try it.”

Alongside the Pro 2 sits its smaller sibling, the Yoga Tablet 2. Available in 8in or 10in, the other main difference is that this tablet doesn’t feature a built-in projector or subwoofers. In its place are two Dolby Audio and Wolfson Mater HiFi front-facing speakers.“Our second generation Yoga Tablets give users the freedom to do more – go hands free and hang the tablet from the wall with the new Hang mode; get unparalleled sound on a tablet with loaded audio features; and choose the operating system that’s right for them – Android or Windows,” said Jeff Meredith, vice president marketing, Lenovo Mobile Business Group.Intel’s Core M processor powers the final product in Lenovo’s launch line-up, the Yoga 3 Pro laptop. The new Core M chip enables the Yoga 3 to shed 14% of its weight when compared to its predecessor, tipping the scales at 1.19kg. Lenovo also claims the device is thinner than a pencil when opened.

A QHD+ 3,200 x 1,800 touchscreen, JBL audio speakers and a 512GB SSD complete the high-end specs.“The new Yoga 3 Pro convertible PC is the result of continual refinement and listening to customer feedback,” said Dilip Bhatia, vice president of design and marketing at Lenovo.“While users told us they loved what Yoga allows them to do with the four modes, they wanted it even thinner and lighter. We have responded with an innovative new hinge design, and continued to evolve Yoga into a truly adaptable, intelligent device.”We don’t usually review mice here at PC Pro; our gaze is more often directed further up the tech-toy food chain. But the Kickstarter-funded Swiftpoint GT is so good that, for once, we feel compelled to break that rule.The Swiftpoint GT is a peculiar-looking thing. It looks more like a piece of Plasticine you’ve squashed between your fingers than a high-tech laptop accessory – but therein lies its unique appeal. Rather than holding this tiny piece of plastic in a claw-like grip, as with most flat travel mice, you hold the Swiftpoint between your thumb and middle finger, almost like you would a pen.

The left-hand mouse button sits on the nose of the device with the right button tucked in behind it, so both can be clicked with your index finger. And mounted on the right side of the Swiftpoint’s snout sits a scroll wheel, which delivers a rather pleasant, notchy action.A mouse that measures a mere 42.5mm across, 56mm long and 33.5mm high shouldn’t be usable at all, but the genius of this design is that it feels as comfortable to use as a full-sized mouse. And because it’s so small and sensitive, it can be used directly on your laptop’s wristrest as a more comfortable, more precise alternative to the touchpad.Indeed, this is precisely the application that the designers of the Swiftpoint originally envisaged. There’s even a sticky, reusable mousepad provided in the box to prevent scratches and scuffs.http://www.dearbattery.co.uk

Since the GT is a wireless mouse, it will need recharging from time to time. This is achieved via a small USB dongle, which doubles as a handy stowing point; the GT latches onto it magnetically while charging.Usefully, when it does run out of charge – Swiftpoint says it will last between two and four weeks – you don’t have to wait ages for it to be usable again. A mere 30 seconds of connection is enough to get you an hour’s worth of use from it. The USB dongle also provides wireless connectivity, although you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to, as the GT is Bluetooth-compatible. This isn’t the end to the Swiftpoint GT’s talents, either. Flip it over and you’ll see that alongside the movement-sensing laser is a small, sprung plastic nubbin. Swiftpoint calls this a stylus, and it’s designed to provide a touchscreen-like pan-and-scroll facility.
