Lenovo, India ushered in a new phase in personal computing with the launch of the much-awaited IdeaPad Yoga- 13-inch and 11-inch in India.

Infused with powerful 3rd generation ®Intel Core™ processors, Yoga 13 weighing a mere 1.54 kg provides superlative laptop-grade performance to get work done all day without slowing down, thanks to its super slim 0.6 inch frame and eight hours of battery life. At the flip of the special patented double hinge, the keyboard flips 360° all the way to beneath the display to transform into a media-friendly tablet primed with rich audio-visual features like Dolby Home Theatre. Yoga 11’s size, weight (1.25kg) and long 10 hour battery life make it a great tablet. And with Windows RT and Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, it can provide the essentials needed to do office tasks as an Ultrabook in laptop mode.
