Lenovo's Twist demarcation of laptops has e'er been a bit of a chief scratcher. Equal the Yoga stemma that understandably inspired it, the low two generations of Twist featured a dual-hinge pattern that plicate hindmost tense 180 degrees. But unequal the Yoga, which could pen all the way over and influence a paper mold, the Turn rather conspicuously stopped at 300 degrees. It was a laptop that could curve backwards into a kiosk norm, but no far.
Frankly, the only true justification for that ornamentation seemed to be funnelling buyers into the writer dear Yoga products. That said, the Move actually prefab for an excellent budget laptop with clean components, if you ignored its half-hybrid hinge.
At CES 2015, Lenovo's bend is pivoting to a new pattern, and this case, the Flex joint folds rearwards a ladened 360 degrees, allowing you to use the grouping in laptop, kiosk and paper modes, right as one would with a Yoga. The new Bend 3 present be available in 11-, 14- and 15-inch models, each with the new hinge arrangement.
So, what makes this variant from the Yoga? In realness, not often. But it seems that the Yoga designation is being diffident for more pricey systems with alter components, and the Flex is transitioning into being the Yoga-lite, as flatbottomed the small pricy 11-inch Yoga 3 starts at $799 in the US.
The 11-inch Deform 3 tops out at a Pentium CPU from Intel and a lower-res 1,366x768 presentation, piece the 14- and 15-inch models instrument use Intel's new fifth-generation Nucleus i-series CPUs, and hit facultative 1,920x1,080 displays.
We've seen the fold-back hinge from the original Yoga maturate its way into low-cost systems from HP, Holler, Toshiba and others, so it makes comprehend that Lenovo would poorness a production with the like capabilities at the lessen end of the toll touchstone.
The 11-inch Deform 3 give commence at $399, the 14-inch at $549 and the 15-inch at $599. All terzetto gift be accessible in May, with supranational value and availability information allay to travel. The US prices alter to roughly £260, £360 and £390, or AU$500, AU$680 and AU$740 respectively, but expect final prices to dissent considerably.
