Svelte and Powerful Mini-Ultrabook Yoga 11S Convertible

Sized well for mobility in a thin, 11.6-inch design, the Yoga 11S Ultrabook convertible comes with choices of a powerful third generation Core i3, i5 or i7 Intel processor giving consumers the ability to create high-performance content and presentations and seamless graphics that make it a great entertainment device.

Yoga 11S in Four Modes

Yoga converts into four special modes to fit the changing ways people are using technology. It offers a new way to experience mobile computing, letting people define which mode works best for them in their environments, from the park and the coffee shop to in transit, at home or at the office.

For example, users can watch movies like never before by putting Yoga in tent mode while enjoying the convertible’s rich Dolby Home Theatre audio. They can convert Yoga into stand mode for a different environment; good for things like swiping through family photos using the high definition IPS screen’s 10-finger multitouch support. Yoga even supports hand gestures so consumers can just wave their hand in front of the webcam to instantly advance photos, videos and other content.

In tablet mode, Yoga makes exploring Windows 8 apps fun and up close with its 11-inch touchscreen. And in laptop mode, Yoga offers a great typing experience with its comfortable and responsive keyboard. Additionally, the Yoga 11S has a soft-touch exterior and comes in attractive Silver Grey and Clementine Orange colors.

“Consumers around the world loved our first Yoga for its unique flip and fold and multi-mode design,” said Jay Parker, president, Lenovo, North America. “We’re continuing to develop the Yoga franchise with the new Yoga 11s, and due to Yoga’s popularity already over ThinkPad S431, we’ve created a pre-sale program so customers can get their hands on one before it even hits the shelves.”

“The IdeaPad Yoga 11S is a great example of the commitment Lenovo is making to continued innovation with Windows,” said Jordan Chrysafidis, vice president, Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corp.  “The commitment is evident in its beautiful hardware designs that exhibit flexibility, mobility and extended battery life; combining that with the new touch capabilities of Windows 8 provides an experience that is sure to delight customers.”

“Lenovo continues to deliver on its reputation for innovative Ultrabook designs and experiences that people are hungry for with the new IdeaPad Yoga 11S,” said Navin Shenoy, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Mobile Client Platforms. “We created our new line of low power 3rd gen Core processors for products like Yoga, to give people a full PC experience in thinner and lighter convertible designs.”
