    Maybe the best Haswell ultrabook on the market; certainly the best value. When I saw the spec sheet when the Yoga 2 Pro was unveiled, I guessed $1499. The $1099 price floored me (and I bet it floored Sony, who priced their lower-resolution Duo 13 $300 higher). Nice job Lenovo.

    Writing this on the Yoga 13, I have to say that it is the _BEST_ hybrid if you want a notebook first, hands down.

    13.3" is a perfect size, and the weight is very manageable if you are using the tablet feature secondary to the laptop feature.

    The keyboard takes some getting used to (fine now), and the only gripe would be the lack of backlight (fixed in the Yoga 2).

    Well, that and how difficult (but not impossible) it is to upgrade the SSD and RAM.
