Today I have the fortune of testing out the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro. Because there are so many reviews (e.g., CNET says, “In terms of form and usability, this is easily my favorite new laptop design of the year”) I decided to focus more on practical applications I have for the device. For those of you unfamiliar with the device, the Yoga 3 Pro is a flagship ultrabook with a unique, sturdy watchband hinge that allows it to fold 360°; comprised of 813 pieces of aluminum and steel, the hinge truly is a thing of beauty that turns heads and allows the laptop to be folded into several different modes (laptop, stand, tent, and tablet) depending on the user’s needs. |
Though the Yoga is a consumer device, it is clear Lenovo is also targeting the device to professionals: “From writing proposals and building presentations, to emailing and online shopping,” Lenovo promises that “the enhanced performance features of the Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro" will "help you get more done.” As such, I decided to use the laptop as I would as a student in an academic laboratory. I will very briefly describe the various features I liked about the Yoga.
