Lenovo’s Yoga series has become a category unto itself. Not only does it encompass the ultrabook but also the tablets segment. Yoga as the name implies, lets you arrange the ultrabook in around four modes. The Yoga series is in its third generation this time around and the Yoga 3 Pro is the flagship multi-mode ultrabook in the series.
One of the main conditions to fulfill, for a laptop to be categorised as an Ultrabook, is that it should be slim. The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro fulfills this condition with aplomb, measuring just 12.8mm when closed. And it weighs just 1.19kg which makes it convenient to carry around in your backpack.
The other most interesting feature of the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro has to be its hinge. Considering the Yoga 3 Pro laptop goes all the way back, thereby giving you modes such as laptop, stand, tablet and tent, the hinge mechanism has employed around “813 individual pieces of aluminum and steel.” It seems to have certainly taken inspiration from metal watch bands.
