Lenovo Yoga – Namaste
by Andy Morales on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
Yesterday Lenovo revealed their new idea pad, Yoga. Part laptop, part tablet, it is a bendable contraption that stretches how we view a computer. Your amazement won’t stop with its 16.9mm thickness or its ultra light 1.47kg body. It’s 13 inch touch-screen easily folds in half to create an in-hand tablet. Or, keep it on an easel and use as a picture frame or to view a 16:9 ratio movie. The 10 multi-point touchscreen makes it ideal for say, playing a multi-player game or even using, for instance, a piano application.
The Yoga runs Windows 8 and will be available when Microsoft releases the new version currently scheduled for Fall of 2012. The price point is expected to be approximately $1200.

how is it bendable? Cool! Worth waiting for if I need a new laptop?
Thanks Lisa for your question. It is bendable in the sense that it opens further than 90 degrees, like most laptops, but completely folds over upon itself. Check the video above to see it in action. Now, if you can wait till the windows 8 release for the availability of this laptop, I would do so.
