Design & Ports
Let me get started with the design of this convertible laptop. This is what I believe is true innovation. Starting off with the watchband hinge, it is one true example of innovation. I like the feel of it, since it is made of metal. Parts of the watchband will wobble, which may be annoying when moving the laptop around, but it is designed like that, and it feels extremely sturdy. I've been opening and closing the laptop over and over again, and it looks extremely strong. The outer parts of the laptop is made of magnesium alloy. The device is made of a high quality metal casing, which feels cool in the hands. The inside of it is made of leather, and it feels good while typing. I appreciate these options Lenovo used on this laptop.
In terms of the ports, it includes a handful amount of ports for your everyday needs, including a Micro HDMI port, three USB ports, a SD card reader, headphone/microphone jack, volume rockers, rotation lock, power button, and OneKey Recovery Button, or the Novo button.

Cooling, Performance, Battery, and Display
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro includes an Intel Core M processor, which is great for everyday usage, which can also mean that cooling will be good. I agree on that. Lenovo decided to put a small cooling fan inside to ensure that it will stay at a nice temperature. It stayed at around 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, after heavy usage.
Performance is good. Watching videos is great, and using Microsoft Office was a pleasure. However, with many tabs open on Chrome did show some lags. Of course, Lenovo wanted to keep this product as thin and light as possible, so this compromise is something you will have to deal with.
The keyboard is has a nice crisp feeling to it when typing. It does feel a bit mushy though, more clickiness will compensate for the small amount of key travel the laptop has.
Battery life is good. It lasts a lot, and Lenovo's included OneKey Battery Optimizer helped greatly by helping users be power consuming.

The display is amazingly good. The high resolution looked great, especially viewing small text. The colors were vibrant, color reproduction is great, and it is extremely bright.However, display scaling is a mix. It is defaulted at 250%, which is suitable. It works great for some, but others, it will become very small and hard to see. A problem, but with Windows 10's release, which is a free upgrade by the way, it should handle display scaling much better.
Conclusion
This laptop would be great for my needs. You can watch a movie on it, show presentations, then play games on tablet mode, then go back to laptop mode. I would recommend it to college students, or people who would like a great experience on the go! The performance
