Lenovo Yoga review windows 8 laptop tablet hybrid

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Review

Lenovo's Yoga offers a different take on the convertible laptop/tablet thanks to the innovative 360-degree hinge design. It's an excellent Ultrabook for the price without the bells and whistles; and with them, you have a near perfect Windows 8 machine.
