Lenovo pro yoga's con's

Shorter battery life than competing Ultrabooks offer
Awkward power button placement
SSD has below average speed
Battery life lags behind that a couple of more expensive higher-res laptops
Some of the hybrid modes are of dubious use
Lenovo proved that it's ahead of the curve in the 2-in-1 laptops space with its widely lauded Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. Now, the company has done one better, and then some, with the $1,349 (about £832, AU$ 1,524) Yoga 3 Pro, a laptop of almost funny slimness and clever design.

Thanks to Intel's Core M-70 (Broadwell) processor, the Yoga 3 Pro is completely fanless. That means Lenovo was able to make its flagship hybrid laptop thinner and lighter than ever - 17% slimmer and 14% lighter, by Lenovo's measurements.



The Yoga 3 Pro measures exactly 13 x 9 x 0.5 inches (W x D x H) and weighs a lithe 2.62 pounds. That's lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air's 2.96 pounds and generally thinner throughout. (The MacBook Air ranges from 0.11 to 0.68 inches, end to end.)

Design

Lenovo didn't have to change much about the Yoga 2 Pro's design ID, but here we are. To make the super slim chassis work, the laptop maker had a complete rethink on the notebook's hinge. The result is something that, when I first saw it, thought wasn't even final hardware.



In my time covering laptops, I have never seen something like this. Lenovo calls it a "watchband" hinge, inspired by the look, feel and rigidity of wristwatches. The hinge is comprise of more than 800 individual pieces of aluminum and steel at six articulation points. At first, it looks as if something is missing there, but the aesthetic quickly grew on me.

Honestly, with as thin and rigid as the hinge was as I switched the laptop between positions, it's a wonder that Lenovo managed to connect the screen to the rest of the hardware. Speaking of which, the company kept with the bright, 3,200 x 1,800 QHD+ multitouch panel. That's to be expected, though I still consider it overkill - 1080p or even 1440p would have been just fine.

Lenovo also went back to the drawing board on the palm rest, opting for a pocked soft-touch plastic, rather than the brushed feel of the previous model. The keyboard deck is also deeper than before, and the bezels surrounding that vibrant screen are a tad larger.



That means that the Yoga 3 Pro is slightly taller and longer than the previous. (I imagine this is due to the slimming - those parts gotta' go somewhere.) Sitting the two next to one another makes the difference obvious, but I doubt it's something you'll notice after using the laptop for a few days.

Specs and performance

While it's tough to say much about performance from just an hour using it, I think it's safe to say that the Yoga 3 Pro won't have much trouble running circles around your average workload. (The Intel Core M benchmarks are already promising.)

Lenovo can stuff its new hotness with up to 8GB of memory to support the CPU, and a cool 256GB of solid-state storage comes standard. Of course, Intel's integrated graphics are all this lean machine can run, so don't expect to game much here.

For those interested in a in-depth evaluation, EveryMac.com also provides a detailed comparison of the current "Early 2015" models.

For those most interested in the highlights, this "run down" may be helpful in making a decision:

Vs Apple Mac pro laptops

Pros:

Beautiful, high-quality, ultra high-resolution display (2560x1600, 227 ppi).
Thin and lightweight considering the quality and resolution of the display.
All models -- the discontinued Late 2012, Early 2013, Late 2013 and Mid-2014 lines as well as the current Early 2015 models -- are relatively fast, particularly due to flash storage.
On the Late 2012 and Early 2013 models, the SSD module is mounted in a drive caddy which makes more diverse upgrades possible (the Late 2013 and later models use a PCIe-based "blade" that is upgradable, but there is less physical space for the module).
Generally excellent battery life, particularly for the "Haswell" and "Broadwell" based "Mid-2014" and "Early 2015" models.
Two USB 3.0 ports.
Two Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports and one HDMI port.
SDXC Card reader.

Cons:

Older applications not updated for the Retina Display can be blurry and scroll performance can be sluggish.
Slow integrated graphics can struggle to drive the high-resolution display, particularly on early models.
RAM is soldered in place and cannot be upgraded after purchase at all. The previous "Mid-2014" and current "Early 2015" models can be upgraded to as much as 16 GB of RAM at the time of purchase only. Earlier models only were configured with 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM by default (and some could not be upgraded beyond 8 GB even by custom configuration).
Internal storage is not intended to be upgraded by an end user.
Battery is glued in place and is difficult to replace.
No internal Ethernet or Firewire (adapters are available at additional cost).
No internal optical drive (external option available).
MagSafe 2 power connector requires adapter (MD504ZM/A) to use with an LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or earlier MagSafe power adapter.
Relatively poor value and performance compared to 15-Inch Retina Display MacBook Pro models offered at the same time.
Expensive, particularly compared to the MacBook Air line which offers a bit less performance, but often better battery life, and definitely less weight and a lower price tag.
But according to my point of view lenovo  pro yoga laptops  are more advanced features as compare to Apple mac pro laptops.It is more economical  than Apple Mac pro laptops .
 But it all upto viwers which to buy for there purpose , they can choose features or they can choose expensive style.
