Microsoft might have the flagship devices for Windows, but Lenovo have been in the news quite a lot recently, thanks to their Yoga line of tablets. The company has proven that they know how to strike a good balance between price and features, and their most recent release of the Yoga 3 Pro pretty much sealed their position as one of the best companies in the Windows tablet market.
Ever since the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro came out, customers and reviewers alike have been praising the tablet’s great feature set and attractive price. The device is also designed with some innovative ideas in mind, such as the 360-degree rotation for its screen, allowing users to configure the Yoga 3 Pro in many different styles. It can work as a laptop, as a media device, or a gaming tablet that a user can just sit back and relax with.
One of the best features of the Yoga 3 Pro is the screen – a trend continued from the previous entry in the series. The 13” display runs at a 3200×1800 resolution, making for a very clear, sharp image, with pixel density near double that of the MacBook.
In addition, it runs on a powerful Core M 5Y70 processor, and has 8 GB of RAM which should be more than enough for any kind of intensive use. These specifications make it a very capable Windows device, and it’s not just a tablet for reading on the train – it’s an actual powerhouse for heavy tasks. And on top of that, the battery seems to be holding up quite well considering what kind of device it’s powering.
All in all, Lenovo are making serious progress in winning over customers on the Windows side – not to mention the benefit this will have for Microsoft in the long run, as more and more people are starting to realize that Windows is a solid platform for tablets (and similar devices), especially with its most recent releases, and Microsoft seem to have good idea for how they want to develop it further as well.
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro comes at a price of $1,299, and while that might seem a bit expensive, buyers should remember that this is a hybrid tablet/laptop, not simply a tablet – and for the specifications it has, the price is actually a very attractive one. Very few companies on the market can offer even a laptop with similar specs and flexibility in its design, and it’s good to see that Lenovo are giving people a chance to jump on board the Windows train without having to pay too much (comparatively speaking, with regards to the specifications that the device boasts).
