Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga

Lenovo's ThinkPad Yoga has a keyboard that flattens when you use it in tablet mode (hands-on)

I like it a lot more than the X240. I remember the rumor of a Thinkpad version of the Yoga from months ago and it is finally here.

 

It looks like the successor of the X230t, as no X240t has been announced ?

 

I like the look of the Thinkpad Yoga as well.

 

The keyboards receding while in tablet mode seems like a great feature.

 

Some specs:

• 12.5" HD (1366) or FHD (1920) screen w/ Gorilla Glass and 10-finger multitouch
• Optional Wacom Integrated digitizer
• Optional NFC
• Up to 8 Hours of battery life
• Up to Haswell Core i7
• Up to 8GB Ram
• Backlit Shift n Lock Keyboard
• OneLink Technology suppot (dock)
• Up to 1TB HDD or 256GB SSD

 

I also like the Yoga 2 Pro with the ultra high resolution, but it seems to be positioned more as a consumer model. With a higher resolution QHD display in the business ThinkPad Yoga, that would be icing on the cake.

 

If it's a built like a proper Thinkpad, this looks like a wonderful model. Pen input too? I wished for this product not long ago.

 

Man, if they could get this in the sub 3lb range, I'd be all over it... I bet that gimmicky key locking mechanism is taking up my extra 0.5lbs!

 

At that size/weight, I hoped they could keep the VGA and Ethernet ports...yes I realize most of you won't want these, but I use them a lot and get tired of carrying adapters.
