Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga hands-on video

[AZTECH51]

@Mojave706 Your right. I actually look forward in buying this tablet :)

[LegahAsla]

putting it on a table will broke the keyboard

[lukestoner96]

@LegahAsla Keys are at a lower height than the rest of the laptop if you noticed, so no, it won't.

[anurek123]

@LegahAsla no it will not break the keyboard, they must have thought about it, a lot of research goes into making such stuff, so rest assured. and yeah it has touch keyboard too. in tablet mode.

[ryananderson280195]

does it have a touch keyboard

[silia900]

Does it have a webcam?

[NoelDelfin]

So far, this is the best win8 tablet for me considering a keyboard, which will always be there when you need it but can stay out of the way when you don't.

[KeKeKeilan]

Good resolution, can switch back to desktop ui for real work, then come back to metro ui for tablet functionality. Can't see much to complain about with this laptop except for the fact that if I want a decently sized 256gb SSD I'll probably have to pay tonnes of money for it. If they can wrap all this together with 256gb of SSD at $1499 or less I'm sold. Otherwise I'd have to buy an external HDD which I don't like the idea of.

[Exglade]

@KeKeKeilan It's only $1200. Sold?

[KeKeKeilan]

@Exglade Yes (:

[tipoomaster]

The keys are still on the open side when you switch to tablet mode? Odd, why wouldn't they let you flip it around so you just get a smooth back?

[NoelDelfin]

@tipoomaster Coz i think doing so would would require a single hinge, which are already around since years ago and they look flimsy.

[18lavern]

i prefer this concept of hybrid laptop its a Sony tablet-sliders design concepts but they should use windows 8 os.

[18lavern]

i see now why windows 8 build in metro UI with switch back to desktop..This windows OS gives laptops manufacturer an idea for future hybrid laptop and this is it.

[neobattle2]

Huge

[warder105]

Shed a pound or two, detachable keyboard and i'll buy. Can't wait to see waht this evolves into.

[mrionov]

The design is cool, I hope that there will be more projects with tablet_laptops. Cause the conseps is realy cool. Only we could do is wait for it. Time will show

[metalman134]

@tosma007 they won't make one, trust me lol they making too much money with diff devices. I just want a thin, durable, and light ultra book with win 7 for a good price

[rezarezaable]

welcome to pc support custom fashion new

[playVideoOnDemand]

I prefer the form factor of the Asus Transformer. It's just simply more durable and make sense. The mode where the touchscreen is facing the user while the keyboard base acts as the stand is probably the 2nd best and most useful mode. I hope the next transformer can do this mode too but not exactly like how Yoga does where the keys are prone to damage

[AdelAthab]

make it smaller



[ds37]

Very great idea, but as Costerguy1234556 said: the keyboard stays exposed when it's in tablet mode. Fix that, improve the overall design and you have my money. Now I am waiting for samsung or other brands to fill in. Great concept.

[lavelaso]

Bulky and heavy, and slow

[TravisMorien]

Does it have a pen digitiser i.e. Wacom or the like?

I'm a student and I want a Windows 8 tablet/hybrid for OneNote. Inking is a major part of that. If it doesn't do pen input, I'm not really interested.

[tosma007]

if apple makes an idevice like that, i'll buy it immediately !!!!!!!!

[grafli]

The keyborad is off in tablet mode, they say.

The keyboard side is in a leather touch, so it won't scratch too easily.

I wan't one!

Lenovo all the way!

[ChineseSlaves]

@grafli But this little crap maybe explode at any time, posing a fatal risk to its user's life.

[grafli]

@ChineseSlaves It's not like your Laptop exploded once, is it?

Lenovo's are are made in the best quality compared to all the Laptops.

They are very durable!

Only chinese copies will explode ;-)

[ChineseSlaves]

@grafli Lenovo products are Chinese copies :)

[jabberwolf]

@ChineseSlaves

Like Apple built products? Foxcon?!

[ChineseSlaves]

@jabberwolf Even the Chinese don't give a shit about Lenovo. They prefer HP, Sony and Toshiba.

[grafli]

@ChineseSlaves Well, I can shure you that Lenovo have one of the best Quality Laptops on todays market.

I've hade all kind of Laptops in my live. IBM/lenovo are the best.

e.g. when you accidentally drop it from 1.5 meter (4-5Feet) it wont even break a lenovo Laptop.

A friend of mine droped his from his backpack while running 10Mph. It only got a few scratches!

[ChineseSlaves]

@grafli Thinkpad's okay coz it's bought from IBM whereas these low-quality Ideapad products really suck!

[cenotaphofmist]

Hey people listen up! If you're looking at Yoga as your iPad replacement please don't buy it. It's too heavy to be handheld, and you'll most likely mash the keypad.

But for me, this is WHAT I'VE BEEN IMAGINING what would help me best in my work as a insurance salesman. I've got present stuff to my clients in a more interactive, visually engaging way... but at the end of the day, I have to send e-mails to my prospects, clients, and leaders. Much of my work will need a keyboard. This fits the bill

[cenotaphofmist]

I <3 The Verge. Never have I been enthusiastically following CES like this year, and it's all because of you and your awesome followers. :D

[cenotaphofmist]

@ChineseSlaves Trolling much?

[Joebonekey]

The keys are exposed somewhat, but the keys are kind of "engraved (maybe that's the word I'm looking for)" inside so there's no keys being pressed when it's in tablet mode. I'm still sold. I was considering getting the Series 7 slate for my notetaking but that's a small screen and it $1,300 for just 98 gbs of free space. Granted it's SSD but utility wins in this situation

[convotutor]

My concern is the durability of the hinges. Will it eventually lose its stiff ness so that it can't retain its angle positions? I'm sold though and believe this willl be tje future of tablet/laptop.

[GrandMasterKeebler]

@convotutor I don't know about the durability of the hinges, but I do know that they've said the hinges were a big focus for them and it is actually patent pending.

[acecombatdragon]

What's with the bad names Lenovo?

[karlosj1012]

How much this will cost??

[vidalmediainc]

@karlosj1012 $1,200

[karlosj1012]

@vidalmediainc Oh, thank you.

[legalizeitbiches]

idk, id be pressing buttons left and right lol.

[croarsenal]

I think that the Asus trasnformer concept is better solution for tablet/laptop hybrids..

[tqz87]

need a tablet with Windows 8 and docking station.

Like the Transformer Prime TF700 only with Windows 8 OS

[Maikoza]

And it can make waffles?

[jkes88]

Wow looks nice

[olesto]

I like how they are trying something new. Don't have much fate in it though

[Gregz0r1]

Ten points of input?! Oh wait, the iPad 1 also has 10-point multitouch, so not much new there. Lenovo just can't let this hybrid thing die. Nice, but not spectacular.

[OrPhEeUs]

@Gregz0r1 Just because this "hybrid thing" isn't popular doesn't mean people don't want it.

[bsnarm]

hmmmm....i don't hate it.

[Costerguy1234556]

Hmm I don't like the way the keyboard stays "exposed" when it's in tablet mode.

[silia900]

@Costerguy1234556 It doesn't function once the screen goes back 180 degrees. Also, there is an extra layer on each size of the touch pad that prevents the keyboard from touching a surface. However, I do agree that a cover for the keyboard would be great. For $1200, it's the least they could do. :)

[DandamanV]

@Costerguy1234556 You could always theoretically put something soft underneath it.

[Mojave706]

I personally think the best concept is a tablet with a keyboard attachment/ cover.

[nightriders92]

@Mojave706 like the asus transformer prime :P
