no ultra-thin ultra light body no radical design shifts no ultra high-resolution screen this is just another good version of the convertible notebook that Lenovo kicked off in 2012 I'm Josh Goldman with CNET and while the yoga 3 Pro showed Lenovo flexing its design muscles the yoga 314 is the more mainstream model but still features the now-familiar yoga flip around design this model has a 14 inch 1080p resolution touchscreen that folds completely back so you can use it as a tablet albeit a fairly large and heavy one at 3 and a half pounds the full HD resolution works well for this screen size and the IPS panel gives you good off angle viewing but the glare off the display is tough to ignore especially since the screen doesn't get all too bright the keyboard is good though I found it a bit spongy and the smaller right side Shift + Enter keys might take some adjusting now inside instead of the Core M processor found in the pro and the yoga 311 you'll find either a 5th gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor integrated or discrete Nvidia graphics up to 8 gigs of memory and up to a 250 gig solid-state drive prices start around $800 and go up to 1050 we tested a core i5 with integrated graphics that is just over $900 and it performed very well with everyday use light photo and video editing streaming video and music on casual mobile games battery life was respectable - at about 8 hours on our drain test if you need more than that check out the HP spectre x360 or non-touchscreen version of the Dell XPS 13 which with similar configurations both got 12 hours you can read the full review on CNET com but this is certainly worth your consideration if you're just looking for a reliable everyday laptop with some added flexibility i'm josh coleman and that's a quick look at lenovo's yoga 340 you
