I found that the Yoga 3 Pro was comfortable to carry and converted between modes quickly and easily. Its hinge keeps it stable with only a little wobble. In between, it can be set up with its keyboard facing down for presentation mode or in tent mode looking like an inverted 'V.' The system can even be opened flat on a tabletop. In addition to being used as a traditional notebook, you can flip the Yoga 3 Pro's screen all the way over, transforming it into a tablet. This is about as versatile as a mobile system gets. Made from 800 stainless steel parts, the hinge attaches the screen to the base at six places and makes it easy to smoothly rotate the screen 360 degrees. It has five computing profiles, thanks to Lenovo's innovative watchband-style hinge. The Yoga 3 Pro has five computing profiles, thanks to Lenovo's innovative watchband-style hinge. It's available in silver, gold or bright orange. The system feels good in the hand and has an aluminum base and plastic screen lid. If you're carrying its two-prong AC adapter as well, the Yoga 3 Pro has a total weight of 3 lb., less than the Yoga 2 Pro weighs on its own. That small fan helps the Yoga 3 Pro squeeze into a case that's only 0.5 in. That reduction is enough so that the Yoga 3 Pro requires only a small cooling fan.

There are other Core M versions coming with business-friendly vPro security enhancements as well as ones that range from 800MHz to 1.2GHz.Ī key differentiator is that the Core M processor uses 4.5 watts - about the power draw of a child's nightlight - 60% less than the 11.5 watts that the 1.6GHz Core i5 4300Y CPU uses. The Yoga 3 Pro's dual-core Core M 5Y70 operates at 1.1GHz but with TurboBoost technology can sprint as fast as 2.6GHz. The graphics engine runs at 850MHz and can deliver up to 3840 x 2160 resolution. Many of those extra transistors are for the HD Graphics 5300 video accelerator, which takes up roughly two-thirds of the chip's surface.
