Sacrifice isn’t a word we like to endure when it comes to our gadgets. Why would we want a touchscreen PC that’s useless when you need to use a physical keyboard? Why would we want a sleek and slim portable machine that falters when you need to accomplish power-hungry tasks?
Thankfully, those days of making compromises have been consigned to technological history.
Thanks to devices like Lenovo’s range of Yoga multi-mode convertibles, we’ve entered an era where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Now we can harness the convenience of using a tablet and the practicality of a traditional laptop PC in one slim and sleek package. One device fits all.

Yoga
Equal parts Ultrabook laptop, touchscreen tablet and versatile entertainment device, the Yoga multi-mode range is made possible by the revolutionary new Windows 8 operating system, which has been designed with touch in mind, but is equally at home on traditional PC and laptop devices.
In this modern era of tech, it is truly the best of both worlds and devices like the hybrid Lenovo Yoga 13 are perfect for harnessing that versatility. The Yoga range gets its name from its flexibility and ability to command various poses to suit your needs.
There are four possible configurations, but the uses are endless. Firstly, it can be used as a traditional laptop, allowing you to tap and type away, while also making use of the touchscreen to open apps, pinch to zoom, adjust settings and more. You can also use the sensitive trackpad built into the keyboard, or even plug in a desktop mouse.

Next up is the tablet mode, which sees the keyboard fold behind the screen, allowing you to make use of powerful web apps, entertainment portals and high-end gaming experiences, while relaxing in your favourite easy chair or on the way to work.
The keyboard can also be folded to use as a stand for use when making Skype video call, listening to music or enjoying on-demand entertainment. Finally, the keyboard can make a tent, which is great for kicking back and watching films and TV shows over the web.
The choice doesn’t end there. The Yoga 13 offers a luscious, high-resolution 1600 x 900, 13-inch screen, but if you prefer something a little smaller then there’s also the 11-inch Lenovo Yoga 11s for your consideration.

Better still both devices are slim enough to be considered Ultrabooks, meaning they’re thin and light enough to take with you on any journey, be it a walk to the park, a long flight or the commute to the office.  That Ultrabook nod also means the presence of high-powered Intel Ivy Bridge processors, a boot time of less than 10 seconds and enough juice in the battery to get you through the work day without recharging, in most cases.
With versatility and power like this available in one sleek and slim device why look elsewhere? The future of hybrid computing takes care of your every need, so look no further than the Lenovo Yoga multi-mode range.
