Lenovo just released the Ideapad Yoga 2 Pro, for the $1,149 model you get a 13" 3200 x 1800 touch screen display, core i5 haswell, 256Gb SSD and 8Gb of RAM.
They will also release a Thinkpad Yoga in november, with less attractive specs unfortunately - it'll be a 12.5" 1920 x 1080 display. (Which is unfortunate for me since I can't live without a Trackpoint on a laptop and only the Thinkpad model offers it)
- hengheng 13y agoThing is their IdeaPad Yoga isn't an X220 replacement. X220 offers two full-speed cores (2x3.2 GHz) with higher TDP, 16GByte RAM, ExpressCard 54 slot, optional WWAN, matte display, TrackPoint, ThinkVantage system update, replaceable batteries up to 95Wh, yada yada yada. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the X240 to not become an Ultrabook. So far it looks like a downgrade, or at most like Lenovo managed to put in FullHD over a course of two years.
- dangrossman 13y agoI don't understand systems like this -- much like most of what's been in stores since 2011. It's got a nice, high resolution screen, and the absolute slowest integrated graphics they can match with it. An HD 4400 can barely keep up with its own panel and a small external monitor let alone run a 5-year-old game on it. For just a little more money they could've put at least an HD 5100 part in it. While the TDP would be higher, the higher-TDP Haswell parts still idle at very low wattages, so when you're not using the extra power they get similar battery life, but it's there when you want it. The performance difference between the 4400 and 5100 is huge. It's on par with an older discrete Radeon/GeForce chip.
