this is the Lenovo IdeaPad yoga 11 it's the 4th Windows RT tablet yet released and is the best one since the Microsoft Surface when those RT is simply the light version of Windows 8 with RT you still have access to the Metro interface and all of the ARM based apps from the Windows Store you can get full Windows eight versions of Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer what you don't get is the ability to run other normal Windows programs so from a design perspective how's a yoga different well unlike every other RT tablet the yogas keyboard is permanently attached I can fold back into a number of revealing poses there's laptop mode then there's what I like to call downward dog mode good for just using the tablet on a desk if you want to watch movies and be able to easily adjust the display there's this mode and if you simply want to go full tablet just fold the keyboard back and you have this the only problem with this is that it makes for a pretty thick tablet because like I said you can't separate screen from keyboard and at two point six pounds that's kind of a bummer to carry around still that same weight makes it a pretty light laptop the yoga has an eleven point six inch screen that's about 1.5 inches larger than most tablet screens and about an inch larger than surface thanks to the larger screen the tablet has a wider than usual keyboard and is a bit more comfortable to type on than smaller tablets left-side physical features include a headphone jack a full USB port a full HDMI port speaker grille and a volume rocker on the front is a power button and on the right edge is a charging port a full SD card slot another full USB port and another speaker grille and the top of the bezel is a 1 megapixel front-facing camera navigation performance opening apps stuff like that is as snappy as it is on surface but web speeds were consistently a few seconds behind the yoga eleven comes at 64 gigs of storage for six $49 that price does include a larger screen that most tablets and a built-in keyboard surface makes for a better standalone tablet for the yoga's flexible keyboard in many full-size ports will make it appealing for those looking for a productivity laptop alternative for more information check out my full review at cnet.com I'm Eric Franklin and this has been a first look at the Lenovo IdeaPad yoga 11
