Lenovo Yoga 3 (11 and 14 inch) and Lenovo Flex 3 (11, 14, and 15 inch) Impressions

Lenovo Yoga 3 11 and 14 inch

The product was released after the release of the Yoga 3 Pro. The Yoga 3 11 has the Intel Core M-5Y10c processor, which is clicked at 0.8 GHz, with turbo boost up to 2.00 GHz.  This model is pretty affordable, it is about half of the price of the Yoga 3 Pro. It is also slower, but this is for really simple tasks, and for those who don't really want that great looking hinge of the Yoga 3 Pro.  Next up is the Yoga 3 14, which is the opposite side of the spectrum.  This has the new Intel 5th generation Broadwell i processors, ranging from i5 to i7, and I am pretty sure there will be more variations, including a discrete graphics card soon.  These are for the people who want that great performance, where you can do heavier tasks, like more video processing, editing, and heavier games. The display did change, as the Yoga 3 Pro has a much higher resolution display.  

This blog posts will be focused solely on these products released at CES, after the Yoga 3 Pro launch. 

Lenovo Flex 3 (11, 14 15 inch)

These products range from all over the spectrum.  The Flex 3 (11 inch) has the Intel Celeron processor chip, which would run smoothly, especially with Windows 8.  It has a 1366 by 768 resolution, which is not that bad, but won't be as good as a full hd display obviously.  You might see the pixels playing a game, but keep in mind the price.  Now the Flex 14 inch has the Intel Broadwell Core i3, i5, i7 processors, with one model that also has an NVIDIA discrete graphics card. The cheapest model comes with a 1366 by 768 resolution, which on a 14 inch display, may look pixelated, but from a distance, you won't see it. The other models has a full HD display, which makes sense, since it costs more. Lastly, the Flex 3 (15 inch) has the same specs as the 14 inch, but obviously with one more inch of display real estate, which can help if you want that extra space.  Now keep in mind, that only the Flex 3 bends 360 degrees. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, these products are the lower end of the Yoga 3 Pro, Lenovo's convertible flagship device, which has that wonderful hinge and three great colors that are magnesium alloy.  These products mentioned above are the cheaper versions of that, and are targetted for those who would like a simple device that wants more performance, and also those who just want simple performance, and an extremely affordable price.
