Lenovo at CES 2014: Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Hybrid Unveiled

Lenovo’s first IdeaPad Yoga laptop that came out last year was in fact an innovation in the light of Apple Macbook Air in the new Windows 8 hybrid category. In quick succession it is all set to launch its latest IdeaPad Yoga 2 hybrid at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), 2014.

Las Vegas: The IdeaPad Yoga 2 is more affordable than the earlier version, Yoga 2 pro. In fact it costs nearly just half the price. The 11-inch version is priced at about Rs 33,000 ($529) while the 13-inch version costs about Rs 66,000 ($999). The 11-inch version will be available from late January while the 13-inch model will be available from February. The 11-inch model of IdeaPad Yoga 2 weighs around 2.9 pounds while it is 0.67 inches thick. A quad-core Intel Pentium CPU and a 500 GB hard drive are its other features.

The other model with 13-inch display weighs 3.5 pounds and is slightly thicker than the 11-inch model. But for this model, the price could be lower because for a mere $100 price reduction from the Yoga 2 Pro. The latter boasts of a resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels, whereas the 13-inch model of IdeaPad Yoga 2 hybrid has a resolution of only 1920 x 1080. However, it is worth it.
