The new model will feature Intel’s newest Core M-70
processor allowing the device to be thinner and lighter than last year’s model.
In fact, Lenovo claims the new Yoga 3 Pro is 14 percent lighter and 17 percent
thinner than its predecessor. There’s also 8GB of DDR3L RAM, up to 512GB SSD,
Bluetooth v4.0 and Intel HD Graphics 5300.
Just like the Yoga 2 Pro, the 2014 model will be capable of
transforming into different modes thanks to its 360-degree 6-hinge watchband
design. The 13-inch display of the Yoga 3 Pro will have a resolution of 3200 x
1800 pixels. The laptop also features JBL speakers with Waves Audio
certification and a 9-hour battery.
Lenovo is planning to ship the Yoga 3 Pro starting this
month for $1349.
Also on the company’s laptop menu at the event was the
Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14, which as the name implied has a 14-inch display in
contrast to the 12.5-inch screen of last year’s model which was first
introduced at IFA.
Specs of the new ThinkPad Yoga include an Intel Core i5
processor, Nvidia GeForce 840 graphics, 1TB of storage and 8GB of RAM. Just
like other laptops with a Yoga in its name, this ThinkPad features a 360-degree
hinge that allows it to transform into different modes.
Connectivity-wise, the laptop packs two HDMI ports, a
four-in-one card reader, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port and of course Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth. Lenovo will start shipping the ThinkPad Yoga 14 before the end
of the month for $1199.
